headboard selection A few tips

Now that you’ve figured out how to choose the right mattress, it’s time to graduate to the next level: choosing a headboard. The September-October issue of Southern Accents offers tips on that and more. A few helpful hints:

A headboard from 48 to 52 inches high is good for comfort and reading.

If a room has soaring ceilings (12 feet or higher) or a lot of other details, use a simple shape for a sense of balance.

Solid, neutral fabrics are the most versatile and the easiest to clean.

Articles on furniture, entertaining and tips on trendy accent colors also are included.
