How about these tailored slipcovers for wooden bed frames?

I love the way they leave a bit of the wood exposed. Much more character than a fully-covered headboard, which might go a little Pottery Barn on you.
And this last one is sort of genius:

Those little corner slipcovers protect the antique french beds from little kitty claws! This is one of those applications where the haphazardness really makes it work.
We have upholstered headboards in 2 of 3 bedrooms, and I love the Chinoiserie bedframe in our Master bedroom....but I also love this slipcover idea should I ever need to switch it up.
Which, you know, is like...never. right?
I love that idea for beds. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteI did have a slip cover made for a French sofa that is open on the top, with ties down the leg. It's great for switching it up seasonally.

I recently did this but even more simply ... purchased a patterned quilted throw and laid it over my heirloom {grandfather's} headboard. Nice discovery that a "throw" and full / queen headboard are the same size. Thrilled to know the headboard is being used but I don't have to actually see it since it really doesn't work with our guest room style. Have a little post on my blog.
