All in one

Make your headboard work harder by integrating storage and display facilities into the design. Save on precious floor space and keep things calmer and sleeker with built-in drawers and a table – you only need it large enough for a glass of water, a book and a dish for jewellery. A shelf above the bedhead adds another layer of practicality, but also becomes a functional focal point and a place you can dress with artwork or other decorative items. A wooden structure works better than upholstered, giving you the opportunity to repaint as your tastes change. GET THE Lliovionkgetthcis.cboemspoke113 unit is by The Vawdrey House.
