As someone who only has a metal bed frame, this headboard definitely makes my bed and room look more complete. It's more of a light grey color and not so much grayish-beige, so I would keep that in mind when purchasing. As a reference, the sheets on my bed are a grayish-beige color. I would also make sure your bed frame is headboard compatible. Mine was not, so I had to buy brackets before I could put my headboard on.
