How to use a Room Divider as a Head board for your bed

Most people that buy a simple bed frame usually do not get a headboard. This is especially true for those that move to a new place every few years.  A headboard is like the picture frame for your bed.  Instead of buying an expensive heavy wood headboard, a great alternative is to use a room divider folding screen.  Most of you are old enough now and probably don't sleep in a twin size bed.  If you will be using a folding screen as a decorative headboard, you should go with a 4,5, or 6 panel to cover the entire width.

There is no exact decorating rule to this.  A 3 panel divider can also work depending on how well centered the screen is and the dimensions of the bedroom.

Room Dividers with a lot of Coverage

If you are looking for a room divider that will not just create an illusion of separation but rather completely conceal a space, you will need to consider a 6ft or 7ft room divider that comes in 5,6, and 8 panels. These types of room divider folding screens are hard to come by because these are usually only available in 3 and 4 panels. What happens is that you have to by a two sets of 3 panel or 2 sets of 4 panel dividers and put them next to each other. Unfortunately this idea does not create an evened sectioned space for privacy. UrbanAccentsNY offers 5,6, and 8 panel room divider screens in the window pain design in multiple finishes. Let's say for instance you are trying to conceal your full/queen size bed in your studio apartment. You would need a long enough divider that will wrap around the front and sides of the bed. Depending on how much of the bed you would like to conceal you would need a minimum of a 6 or 8 panel divider. visit us at UrbanAccentsNY.com
