Cool Idea: Painted Stripes Headboard

I've written about painted headboards before (and even DIY'd my own), so it's really nothing new. But, I am loving how design firm Shelton, Mindel & Associates made the entire wall behind this sleeping space a focal point with bold stripes, and within that created a focal point above the headboard by painting stripes in a slightly lighter shade than the rest. This look is really easy and affordable to achieve in your own home. And, if you don't have a real headboard of your own as this room does, the rectangle of lighter stripes can serve as a headboard alternative. What do you think?

    Affordable? Yes! Easy? Haha, not for me. It's a really neat look though, but there is NO way I could DIY Eye-wink

    I think this looks kind of silly...and definitely not easy to do. Not to mention you would never be able to rearrange your furniture...

    Smilesp - my thoughts exactly. You would have to repaint the room to move the bed.

    Although I guess in some rooms it's totally clear where the bed has to go, like my bedroom where there's only one wall it can be situated against.

    But still, I'm not a fan. And the bed in the photo already has a headboard so what's the point?

    Didn't like it very much.. If not because of the moving the bed factor (that you would have to repaint it), it looks a little bit weird the lighter paint in the middle. Looks like you've hanged a paint in there for so long that when you took it off the wall had changed colour...
