THE PRODUCT, EXPLAINED
What is a bespoke upholstered headboard?
An upholstered headboard combines a supporting structure with padding and fabric to create a soft finished surface behind the bed. Making it to order allows the shape, dimensions and fabric to be considered as part of the whole room, rather than treated as a separate furniture purchase.
Height changes the effect: a lower, simpler panel can sit quietly within a room, while a taller silhouette becomes a stronger focal point. A curve softens the outline; piping, buttons or other agreed details create a different level of definition. The best choice relates to the bed, ceiling height and surrounding furniture.
We will discuss how the headboard is to be supported and secured. Wall-mounted, bed-mounted and floor-standing arrangements have different requirements and are not interchangeable. Fabric suitability and care needs also matter, particularly for a surface that will be used regularly rather than simply viewed.
DESIGNED AROUND YOUR HOME
Three decisions that shape the result.
Fabric & detail
A textured plain highlights the silhouette, while a pattern can become the room’s focal point.
Fixing & access
Bed-mounted and wall-mounted arrangements have different requirements.
WHERE IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY
Make the bed feel part of the scheme
Main bedrooms
A headboard gives the bed a clear presence and introduces a generous area of fabric. A taller shape can balance a high ceiling; a lower, simpler outline suits a quieter room. Consider how it relates to bedside tables, lamps and the width of the wall.
Guest rooms
A distinctive fabric or gently shaped top can give a smaller bedroom character without needing lots of accessories. Pick a colour from the curtains or a print elsewhere in the room to make the combination feel connected.
The practical specification
Confirm bed size, fixing method, access and any sockets or switches behind the proposed headboard. Fabric suitability and cleaning instructions matter for a surface used close to pillows, hair and everyday contact.

PLANNING YOUR PROJECT
What affects the price?
Size is one part of the picture. Your choice of fabric, the amount needed, pattern matching, construction, hardware and fitting requirements all contribute to the quotation. A more detailed finish or a motorised system can change the scope.
Share an approximate budget and the number of windows or pieces you are considering. We can help you understand the options and decide where to focus the investment. An initial estimate is a starting point; the final price follows the agreed measurements and specification.

Your questions, answered.
Can a headboard be wider than the bed?
It can be part of the design, subject to fixing, access and the room layout. Consider bedside furniture, lamps, switches and the wall proportions. Agree the actual width and installation method before choosing the final upholstery detail.
