Elevate a headboard

Set the scene for visitors with flourishes that create an inviting space. Guest rooms aren't always the largest in the house, so if you're struggling for options, look to your headboard for the perfect spot to string a garland or tinsel. Thicker, upholstered headboards will hold a garland well, while slimmer metal or wood-frame beds may require cable ties to secure it. Want to keep costs down? Go for a plain garland and then add your own pine cones and bows using floristry wire.
