An excellent looking headboard is an important accessory in a bedroom to anchor the bed and make it the real focal point of the room. One way to have a large storage space, besides providing a large headboard is to use a bookcase headboard behind your bed. While it is possible to simply place the headboard shelf behind the top of the bed and leave it standing without strings, most people prefer it to be firmly attached. It is a simple project and it will only take you a few minutes.
