Almost all the antique and vintage French beds which we buy in France have enclosed footboards.
They look great, but for anyone over 6 ft, for houses with smaller rooms, or for rooms with low or sloping ceilings, footless beds are certainly more practical.
We sell headboards on their own, just for this purpose. They can be attached either to your wall for use with a divan, or to a bed frame.
This is the type of look you can create.
