Upholstered headboards have become a hot trend, and fortunately show no sign of cooling down anytime soon. There’s a reason why they are so popular with homeowners and designers. They can be as unique as your personality, give you a great opportunity to use a favorite fabric in a small controlled way, and make a great focal point in a bedroom. Upholstered headboards are a great way to re-invent a bedroom, and make it easier to work with existing furniture pieces. So if you have a bedroom set that you purchased many years ago and just want a change, an upholstered headboard is a great way to change up the look of the room without replacing everything.

Upholstering a headboard is actually an easy DIY project. If you are somewhat handy and have a little bit of time on your hands, you can build your own custom upholstered headboard for under $100! Here’s  a blog that I follow that will provide you with step-by-step instructions on crafting your own, personalized headboard. (You’re welcome :-))

Today’s upholstered headboards are also available in very tall sizes which are great and comfortable when you want to read and watch TV in bed, while adding drama to your space. There are also many options available to match your personal style and aesthetic. Here are a few of my favorites and where to find them:

If you are into architectural and bold with a touch of mod, these selections from Room Service Store will be perfect for you.

  1. I am a thrasher, and a padded headboard is one of the solutions I came up with so I don’t break my hands/arms/fingers! LOVE IT!!! Love it, love it!!

    • That seems to be a concern for some clients as well, but Just as you would your mattress, regular vacuuming with the soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner will take care of that
