Mid Century Modern Headboards: 4 Vintage Inspired Bedroom Options

---

My parents recently moved into a new home and I took it upon myself to be the decider of how we were going to decorate the two upstairs bedrooms. Since, this is where my sister and I will stay, plus any guests when they visit, I wanted to make these rooms comfortable, cozy and minimalistic. A welcomed change from our previous childhood bedrooms which looked like somewhat of a time capsule. Walls painted with the bright and joyful shades of blue that we choose at the ages of 14 and 11.

So, to give our rooms a mature refresh, I chose to go in the direction of my preferred design style, mid century modern.

The first step? Find a bed.

The rooms are big enough for a Queen bed frame, so we had plenty of space to fit a mid century bed frame and headboard.

Let’s take a look at the mid century headboard and bed frame that we chose and some additional options that I think would look great for anyone planning to integrate a vintage inspired, minimal and timeless headboard into their bedroom.

4 Mid Century Modern Headboards To Inspire Your Bedroom

Our Choice: ZINUS Raymond Wood Platform Bed Frame | $297 on Amazon

This bed frame was pretty easy to put together and I'm incredibly happy with the design and the sturdiness. The walnut color is rich and pairs perfectly with the rust color bedding we chose. My dad and I put the first bed frame together and then, I was able to build the majority of the second one on my own, so I would say that the assembly was pretty easy and can be done alone or with an extra set of hands. Overall, for the price & the quality - I would recommend this midcentury modern headboard and bed frame.

If you want a few more options, let’s check out other mid century modern bedroom ideas to spark your inspiration:

Mid Century Modern Headboard With Slats | $349 on Amazon

A little different than the solid design, this mid century modern head board with slats is classic and will look good in your room for years to come. A major factor of how I purchase bedroom furniture is based on whether I’ll still love it in a year from now. I try to stay away from trends and find pieces that I know I can style a hundred different ways.

Tufted Padding Mid Century Modern Headboard | $129 on Amazon

Probably the most affordable option on this list is this mid century modern headboard with tufted padding. While this isn’t necessarily my favorite option, I do think that the style is very versatile and can be styled many ways. It also pulls in modern elements, so you can have a bed frame and headboard that mixes vintage design with modern decor. Also, a super budget friendly option and a smaller full frame, which is great for small apartments and spaces.

Adjustable Mid Century Modern Headboard With Small Slats | $252 on Amazon

The last option is a mixture of a solid wood design with slat details. This headboard is adjustable, so you can move it to fit exactly the height you’d like. I think this is another great option for someone who wants the mid century modern look, but with a little extra flair and a touch of something different. The thicker slats still keep the vintage feel, but add a new and unique element to the headboard.

I’ll be adding more mid century modern inspired home updates as we continue to decorate and design the guest rooms!
