Is a bed truly complete without a headboard? We're unconvinced. Once you've got the mattress and frame sorted out, a great headboard is the final touch that ties the whole thing together beautifully. But depending on your needs and tastes, they can vary widely. We've got our eight favorites that will check every box.
Calling all bookworms! This is the headboard of your dreams. Multiple shelves give you plenty of room to stow your nightly reading, and a convenient cable hole allows you to connect your stereo, phone charger, or alarm clock. Who needs a nightstand when you've got this?
If you're looking to keep things simple and classic, we love the clean lines of Atlantic Furniture's Madison headboard. Great for children's beds or guest beds to really help tie those rooms together.
Starting from scratch? If you're in need of more than just a headboard, Saatva is our favorite for a complete and fully customized bed, and their Amalfi set includes a lush, cushioned headboard with button details that offer a touch of understated luxury to the comfiest part of your home.
Love the DIY look, but not super handy with a drill? No sweat. Barn Walls makes a fabulous shabby chic headboard out of reclaimed materials that suits your needs perfectly without getting sawdust anywhere.
In need of an over-the-bed statement that isn't too cumbersome? This gorgeous bamboo fan headboard is easily installed without messing with your existing bed frame at all! Perfect for dorms and small apartments looking for a one hook and done solution. It even folds for easy storage.
Who doesn't immediately fall in love with a classic wingback lounge chair? Bring the same class and elegance to your bed with this bold headboard. The best part is that every element is fully customizable to your tastes, though we adore the rich velvet options.
If you love a good upholstered headboard, but you're in need of something a little more understated, we love that, too. This channel stitched gray option is all clean lines and modern elegance, great for a more contemporary bedroom.
Slim and stylish, this Art Deco-inspired golden sunburst headboard is a great statement piece that doesn't take up too much space. Lightweight, so it's easy to carry alone, and one size to center over any bed you wish.
