Hey Jen… Love your living space…really fab! An oversized piece of art as a bed head is stunning (and there are NO rules!) … but if you're worried about leaning against it in bed…you could indulge in some fabric love and just suspend a panel from a rail above with some cool finials. Means you can decide exactly how much you line up with your architecture, and you get some hardware in amongst the fabric injection. I bet I'm too late anyhow! xx

Depends what kind of 'modern' you're going for. The exposed brick is quite industrial - if you wanted to continue that, and you're into DIY, you could make a pallet bedhead and even paint it the shade you want. Either attached to the actual base or up the middle of the wall as a feature. Like these: Let us know how you go!

don't make them too low though, a lot of scandi beds are too close to the ground

I love the pink, it looks beautiful, try the tray on the bed, if it looks too much try it on window seat, could conjure up thoughts of sitting in the sunshine and having a lovely cup of tea. Looks beautiful what you have done. Love the pink , brings softness t the room.
