Roman shades are a classic look to tie into a faux headboard

For a bedroom that's limited in space, home decorators can eliminate a traditional headboard and replace it with a variety of options to create an attractive ensemble for their bed.

A faux headboard can be designed by decorating the wall around the bed, giving the illusion of a headboard by using a tapestry or quilt for a backdrop, or by painting a design on the wall that frames the bed.

A simple back board can be decorated by painting or with wallpaper for a cottage-style headboard that is coordinated with the other colors in the room. For a softer look, the board can be lined with foam and covered by fabric for an upholstered headboard that's comfortable for reading in bed.

Another approach is to install a valance high above the bed and attaching a cascade of sheer fabric that drapes down behind and alongside the bed.

Roman shades have a softened look that ties in the room's window treatment with the faux headboard and bed linens.
