Double Headboard- Single Bed

last year

I have a double headboard that came with a matching dressing table & bed side cabinet, so I want to keep it & use it- but only really have room for a single bed. I have attached it to my current single bed but it does have a funny overhang each side...any ideas on how I can make this look 'right'? Thank you :)

Hi - stunning headboard! I think it would help to know the room sizing and where this is going to sit in the room? Can the headboard and bed be centered on the wall? If so you could look to add some wall hung shelves at the base on each side of the bed attached to the bedhead. It looks like the back of the bedhead is white so if you painted those white to match it would blend in and feel part of the whole bedhead itself whilst balancing the sides for symmetry.

Would putting the bedside table next to the bed help to balance it out?

Hi there, How about a very pale blue? I know it's for both a boy and girl but pale blue goes well with pink. If you get a bunk bed which can be split into single beds, then on the girl side you could place metallic gold stickers on the wall or pale pink and on the boys dark blue. You could get polka dot bed sheets pink for the girl, blue for the boy or go completely neutral and go for green. Place a small desk or bedside table with a nightlight on top, maybe get their names on the wall above the bed too, or a shelf on each side with their favourite items on top. So much possibilities. I'll attach some pics.

Firstly, get matching beds and put them end to end so the 6month old is closer to the door for checking on in the night. If you need a changing unit in the room then it could slot between the beds. I'd like to see pics of the wardrobe and the radiator wall. I'm imagining it is probably in an awkward place like smack in the middle of the wall ; D. How about getting a radiator cover and then above that making a shallow bookshelf for their smaller books, special toys and a few photos. Then I'd have matching wardrobes either side to store everything else! Décor - not sure if you're thinking that far ahead yet but I'd paint all the walls white to keep the timber from looking too yellowy (I doubt you've got time to be painting furniture!) get matching bedding for both beds, a wall decal (inexpensive and easy to change as they get older or if you sell the house) in pink, a basic white drum shade for the light (IKEA) and a set of pink or white eyelet curtains and pink tiebacks. Most importantly, have fun!

Just keep the painting or mirror within the width of the headboard & pick a piece that is not very high or deep. Good suggestion with the mirror.

not alot happening at the moment, its winter! alotta rain, lotta. but i am bedding down to get this over with and maybe in the spring the spirits will rise once more. i hope so. i would love to feel i was doing something to keep my hopes and dreams alive, i dont see what i can do until the spring. when i bring the topic up, especially to those that moved away and came down this neck of the woods, they say they had friends who felt it was too far too and moved back home. i guess thats how i feel, thats what i want and i just want to be a bit more uplifted, i think rain dampens down things a bit!!! santa Ma Margaret!

Thank you both for your responses, very appreciated!

Sarah- I have tried your idea of pushing my bedside cabinet up against the side, but due to it having feet & a bed base, there is still a gap (see picture.) The other issue is I dont need a bedside table both sides.ὠ4 But its definitely an improvement!

Den Life- thank you! Please see the bedroom plan below...the red outline is roughly where the bed is situated now. I guess I could make it more central on the wall. I really love the idea of screwing wall shelves on either side of the bed head...that's got me looking for some nice vintage ones to match! That just might be my answer- thank you!

Ah you are very welcome! Yes it does look like you could center it on that wall then and add shelves. If you can't find vintage ones you could use new wood and paint them to match and add some decorative finishes to it. Places like ebay sell great little additions along the lines of these:

Good luck with your updates! Remember to post a picture when it's done too.
