The headboard is a bit of furniture that attaches to the head of a bed. In prior times and in older less well insulated buildings they served to isolate sleepers from drafts and cold walls. To do that the headboard is made of wood which gets less cold than stone or brick, and made to allow space from the wall so that falling colder air can sink to the floor instead of onto the bed (as it might if the bed were pushed immediately against the wall).

Today in better heated and better insulated buildings its most simple function may be to keep the pillow and other bed linens. A headboard might be exactly practical, but often has cultured value and an ornamental focus for a bedroom these days log headboards are way more cost-effective, even those that have elaborate carvings and designs.



They are made from log pole pine, and can be stained or finished with lots of colours. The choice is often made based on preference and what would look great with the bedding as well as other furniture in the room. Wood permits the bed to give off a normal, old style sense of appeal.

They work nicely in log cabins or older estate houses. Some even come upholstered to provide more comfort for your head and back if you use the headboard to recline. Many folks select wood headboards over metal and other materials for the beauty they can bring to the dcor.



Another item of log bedroom furniture you'll want to consider is a log nightstand. Nightstands are placed next to the bedside and are very good at keeping crucial things on hand. Some nightstands are awfully basic in design, while others feature ornamental drawers and hardware, as well as rounded posts and arched bottoms. Again, you will want to stick with the pieces in the log bedroom collection, particularly as you do not want to place mismatched furniture alongside each other. Nevertheless there is some flexibility with nightstands, so long as they match one another. So if you choose a black bed frame, you can choose a nightstand which has black edges and a black top, but different coloured wood in the center.
