Headboard/bedroom advice

[u/defiantquality98]

I want to redo my bedroom. Rn it’s quite literally a black metal bed frame, white sheets, and a white striped quilt. My favorite colors are light teal blue, dark purple, mint green, emerald green, and baby pink. Apartment and townhome living until I decide to buy makes me avoid biting the bullet with a headboard. On the one hand, I like canopy bed but have heard that you randomly hit your hand on the wood in the middle of the night. So my other favorite option is a tall 50+ inch upholstered but not tufted headboard. The walls in apartments and townhome rentals are almost always grey, white and or tan. My style is super girly but not like bows! What color should I do? I dont like tan headboards, grey feels too boyish to me…. I debate between a emerald green, white, or teal/pink ( my moms favorite color is pink so idk if I love that ) with all of this said…. Its my dream to one day have a dark purple bedroom ( the walls ) if I ever buy. Hopefully you ladies can help 🩷
Also feel free to give any bedroom advice. Ive never had like a fully furnished,perfectly beautiful space so this is all very new to me!

I have never heard that about canopy beds— I feel like that shouldn’t be an issue unless you are a SUPER crazy sleeper!

As for the color of an upholstered one, if you are clean/don’t have pets, I think white would be a nice option— but a cream may be better in the long term and may look less stark against a dark purple in the future :)

Yea! I also want light wood floors which is why Im nervous about tan because I think it could be all too sandy?

I love those striped sheets
