Circle, Arched, and Camelback Headboards
When you want to add a little bit of class, a little bit of style — curvy instead of square is the way to go! A circle headboard has curves all around — the only flat edge is the one on the floor or behind the bed.
And these rounded headboards are just scalloped circles!
Arched and camelback shapes have straight sides and curves on top. A basic arched headboard has just a simple curve from one side to the other:

Or how about a reverse arch? Lovely!
The camelback shape has a flatter curve on either side and builds to a taller curved arch in the middle.
