Seja ripada, metálica ou de palhinha, cada cabeceira conta uma história visual que reflete o equilíbrio entre conforto, estética e autenticidade (CASACOR/CASACOR)
A key element in the decoration of the bedroom, the headboard goes far beyond its function of support: it defines the aesthetic rhythm and the mood of the projects. If the upholstered versions have dominated the scene for years, today interior design explores new textures, materials, and geometries to translate more authentic styles.
Juliana Dijck - Loft do Casal. Pensado para transmitir leveza e pertencimento, o projeto valoriza uma paleta de cores claras e neutras que ampliam a sensação de espaço e potencializam a luz natural. Como contraponto, as paredes e parte do teto receberam um tom terracota, criando um clima acolhedor. A iluminação quente é protagonista: a luz natural entra pelas janelas e se complementa com pontos de luz artificial. O mobiliário reforça a atmosfera minimalista. Plantas e elementos que remetem à natureza fazem do quarto um refúgio. (Walter Dias/CASACOR)
The variety of available finishes allows for transforming the bedroom without major renovations. Wood, metal, cane, and even tiles come into play to update the décor, bringing visual freshness and a dose of creativity. Next, we present seven headboard models that reinterpret this classic with sophistication and lightness.

The slatted headboard is one of the most versatile in contemporary decoration. Made from natural wood or laminated MDF, it brings rhythm and texture to the projects, as well as enhancing the sense of height when the slats are applied vertically.

With built-in lighting, the effect is even more elegant and inviting. The model can extend across the entire wall, uniting the bed and side tables in a fluid and harmonious composition.
For those seeking a bold touch, the printed headboard transforms the bedroom into a space of personal expression. Fabrics with geometric, floral, or striped patterns break the monotony and introduce color in a balanced way.

The secret lies in the color palette choice: neutral tones maintain sobriety, while striking patterns create a vibrant focal point. It is an ideal alternative to refresh the projects without modifying the rest of the furniture.
Natural and light, the cane headboard brings freshness and artisanal texture to the room. Its delicate weaving allows light to pass through, creating a pleasant visual effect and a sense of breathing in the space.
PN+ | Paula Neder - Loft Alvorá. Projeto da CASACOR São Paulo 2025. (Denilson Machado, do MCA Estúdio/CASACOR)
With a frame of light wood, the model evokes a tropical-chic aesthetic – perfect for projects that value sophisticated simplicity and visual comfort!
In more contemporary projects, the headboard evolves into the format of a continuous panel, extending across the entire wall. This solution enlarges the projects and integrates different elements, such as lighting and side tables.
Henrique Freneda - Casa Viva. Projeto da CASACOR São Paulo 2025. (Roberta Gewehr/CASACOR)
It can be executed in MDF, wood, fabric, or textured paint, always with a clean and uniform finish. The result is an architectural composition that combines comfort and elegance without decorative excess.
With industrial aesthetics and a contemporary touch, the metal headboard can be made of iron, brass, or aluminum. The brushed, matte, or painted finish redefines the atmosphere of the bedroom with an urban and sophisticated flair.
CMais Arquitetura e Interiores - Suíte do Filho Expedicionário. Projeto da CASACOR Piauí 2025. (Felipe Petrovsky/CASACOR)
The contrast with soft fabrics and neutral colors softens the material and creates balance between strength and delicacy. It is an interesting choice for rooms with loft or minimalist inspiration.
Innovative and elegant, the tile headboard creates visual continuity by extending from the floor to the wall. The effect is especially impactful when the finish chosen is the same as that used on the floor, such as glossy porcelain or ceramic mosaic.

This integration gives unity to the space and reinforces the sense of amplitude. Moreover, it is a practical and durable solution, ideal for those seeking sophistication with low maintenance.
The sculptural headboard values design as the protagonist. In gypsum, cut wood, molded iron, or 3D material, it stands out for its form and the shadows it casts in the projects.
Gabriel Fernandes - Casa de Novela. Projeto da CASACOR São Paulo 2025. (Denilson Machado/CASACOR)
Ideal for those seeking an artistic effect, this model transforms the wall into a visual installation. The headboard becomes part of the architecture, not just a decorative accessory.
