Give your head peace

by Kirsty Nixon in Style & Interiors on 18 August 2010

Naff and bulky, or comfort and joy? When it comes to upholstered headboards, we're firmly in the latter camp. In fact, we think with a little care and attention, an upholstered headboard can transform your mundane bedroom into a sumptuous boudoir.

If you’re feeling especially energetic you can always make your own – try these links for inspiration and tips. But we reckon that if life's too short to stuff a mushroom..” (thank you, Shirley Conran) then it’s definitely too precious to spend time upholstering a headboard. So buy your own.

Be bold and think outside the (square) box…..go for a curved or scalloped  shaped headboard. Or choose an oversized piece to anchor the room. If you’ve  already installed your  fitted Sliderobes wardrobe, this ‘big and bold’ approach  will work particularly well by lending a sense of balance to your room. And why  not unleash your artistic beast when it comes to colour. Choose a bold or  graphic fabric for a splash of colour and added zest!

OK, now on to more mundane matters. As with all pieces of upholstery, a  fabric–covered headboard will collect some dust and dirt. The answer is to  gently run your hand-held vacuum cleaner over the fabric once a month to keep  your upholstered headboard looking bright and new for years to come. For  inspiration, check out these  ideas or why not send us before and after photos of your transformed  bedroom!
