Bed Head board transformation ideas

So we got this bed for the guest bedroom coz it was on sale. Hubby is not too fond of the headboard but I convinced him saying that the headboard could be worked on.

What would you do with this headboard to make it look more chic. P.S: I do have a sewing machine.

My own idea would be to get some sponge padding on the front and probably get a suede look material and make a cover for the headboard.

Another idea would be to paint the headboard a deeper darker shade of brown or maybe white.

Would love to hear your ideas.
