2.  Painted Headboard

Consider a renter-friendly way to create visual impact in the bedroom, such as a wall-to-wall painted headboard. Here, a thin black line ¼” thick separates two wall colors: a cheerful green (Farrow & Ball’s Breakfast Room Green) and creamy white. “Since my bedroom was on the smaller side with a standard ceiling height, painting 1/3 of the way up helps trick the eye to make the space feel bigger,” says designer Julie Rose.
