Which materials should you choose for a high-end headboard?
The material of your headboard defines both the atmosphere and the style of your bedroom. We carefully select tactile fabrics to transform your sleeping space into a warm and inviting retreat.
Velvet instantly adds visual depth. Its rich shades, from deep blue to dark green, give the room character and catch the light to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Chenille, with its more understated appeal, brings softness through gentle shades such as beige and ecru, perfect for creating a peaceful setting.
Bouclé offers a contemporary, textured finish. In natural shades such as natural white or oat beige, it creates a clean, minimalist look. Button tufting gives classic furniture a modern twist: the padded effect adds structure to the headboard and gives it a sophisticated feel, especially when paired with velvet.
Tweed brings a warm, textured appearance, particularly in shades such as oak brown. Plush fabric offers a soft, cosy finish, available in pastel or contrasting shades such as plush pink or vanilla cream. Each material creates a different atmosphere: cosy, serene or full of character. Coordinate your headboard's colours with your bedding to create a harmonious look.
160 or 180 cm designer headboard: how do you choose the right size?
Our designer headboards are available in two standard widths: 160 cm and 180 cm, designed to match the dimensions of your mattress and bed base. A 160 cm model is suitable for a 160x200 cm bed, while the 180 cm version fits a designer bed measuring 180x200 cm.
For a panoramic effect, we also offer wider options measuring 260 cm and 280 cm. These designs extend well beyond the sides of the mattress, making a statement across the wall behind the bed. Width influences how spacious a room feels: a panoramic headboard can make the bedroom appear larger, while a headboard aligned with the mattress creates a more understated silhouette.
Our headboards range in height from 100 to 150 cm. Choose according to your ceiling height: a tall headboard emphasises the vertical proportions of a spacious bedroom, while a lower design in lighter shades helps maintain a sense of openness in a smaller room. Check compatibility with your existing bed base or bed frame. For a balanced look, allow the headboard to extend slightly beyond the width of the mattress.
Which designer headboard styles should you choose for your bedroom?
The style of your designer headboard sets the tone for the entire bedroom. We offer a range of styles to suit your interior design preferences.
Art Deco style combines geometric lines and luxurious materials for a retro-chic look. The tufted style uses padded detailing to create timeless elegance. Italian style focuses on clean proportions and subtle Mediterranean influences. Industrial style combines raw finishes with wood and metal, making it a natural match for a wooden bed frame.
For a bolder statement, an original designer headboard can feature sculptural shapes, extended sides or a panoramic design. The key is to create a cohesive look: pair your headboard with our designer bedside tables and the rest of your bedroom furniture for a harmonious result.
How do you attach and install a designer headboard?
The best way to install a designer headboard depends on your bedroom layout and the model you choose. There are three main options.
Wall mounting allows you to install the headboard independently of the bed. It keeps the floor clear, which is particularly useful in smaller bedrooms, and makes cleaning easier. However, it requires suitable wall fixings depending on whether your wall is made of plasterboard, brick or concrete. Bed base mounting uses a direct attachment system. Before purchasing, check the distance between the fixing points on your existing bed base to ensure compatibility.
Freestanding headboards are placed directly on the floor behind the bed. The weight of the bed keeps the entire structure stable. Whichever option you choose, align the bottom of the headboard with the top of the mattress.
Headboards with storage or bedside tables: practical features that make a difference
Some designer headboards include practical features that help you make the most of your bedroom space. Built-in storage provides side shelves or compartments for books, alarm clocks and decorative accessories.
We also offer models with bedside tables included. A matching headboard and bedside table set creates an instantly coordinated look while saving space. These sets can then be combined with our bedroom furniture to create a harmonious interior.
