Your bedroom is where you go to relax, rest, and engage in some self-care. It's not just a place for people to sleep; it's where you go to rejuvenate and get away from the rest of the world. If you're looking to give your bedroom a stunning Erin Napier-inspired makeover, the "Home Town" star has one simple suggestion that can change the whole look of your space. For a bedroom that looks straight out of an HGTV episode, she recommends an upholstered headboard.

In Season 8, Episode 20 of HGTV's "Home Town" via YouTube, Napier helped a homeowner transform her 1970s home into something more modern and inviting. This transformation included adding an upholstered headboard to the bed in the primary bedroom. As the homeowner commented on the headboard and the fabric used, Napier explained that the material itself was boucle, adding, "I just feel like an upholstered headboard says luxury." With the clean lines of the bed balancing the plush look of the upholstery, the homeowner felt that her new bed gave off hotel vibes. 

An upholstered headboard can be very versatile, adding a touch of customization to a space. You can choose not only what material you want, but also the color and height of the board. Fabric can soften the harsher lines of a wood or metal bed frame, making a space feel more inviting. At the same time, a fabric headboard can also become a focal point in the bedroom. While Napier chose what looked to be an off-white color for the boucle upholstery, you can choose whatever color you want to make your space feel warm and inviting.

If you're looking for main bedroom design inspiration, Ben and Erin Napier's upholstered headboard is a great place to start. Adding an upholstered headboard to your bed adds more than just a luxurious feel to your space; it also adds a sense of comfort. The padded fabric of the headboard gives you a place to comfortably lean back in bed. By adding a touch of softness to the space, you elevate the rest of the room. The material chosen for the upholstery can change the vibe of the bedroom, with some feeling peaceful and inviting and others more luxe and rich. 

Some of the more luxurious materials you might find on an upholstered headboard include velvet, linen, and shearling. There are other details that can help to elevate an upholstered headboard, including tufting, buttons, and studs. These additions help bring a visual element to the bed that makes you feel like you're in a hotel. With these details, even more dimension is added to your room's decor, and it can give the space an HGTV-inspired vibe.

While they're relatively easy to find in stores, you could also try your hand at DIYing your own luxe upholstered headboard. Overall, an upholstered headboard can be a more affordable way to add a touch of luxury to a bedroom, with prices varying depending on material and style. While you can find more budget-friendly pieces, like this 24KF Upholstered Tufted Button Linen Headboard for under $200, there are also more high-end headboards available that can cost over $1000.
