Which materials should you choose for a high-end headboard?
The material of your headboard defines the atmosphere of your bedroom just as much as its style. We select tactile textures to transform your sleeping space into a warm and inviting setting.
Velvet adds instant visual depth. Its rich shades, from deep blue to dark green, structure the room and catch the light to create a warm atmosphere. Chenille offers a more understated look, with soft shades such as beige or ecru that are ideal for creating a serene setting.
Bouclé brings a contemporary textured finish. In natural shades such as natural white or oat beige, it creates a clean, refined look. Button tufting revisits the codes of classic furniture: its padded effect adds structure to the headboard and gives it an elegant feel, particularly when paired with velvet.
Tweed adds a warm, textured look in shades such as oak brown. Plush fabric creates 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 bold. Coordinate the shades with your bedding to create a harmonious look around the bed.
160 or 180 cm designer headboard: how to 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 160 x 200 cm bed, while a 180 cm headboard is designed for a 180 x 200 cm designer bed.
For a panoramic effect, we also offer extended widths of 260 cm and 280 cm. These larger formats extend well beyond the mattress, structuring the wall space around the bed. Width can change the perception of the room: a panoramic headboard makes the bedroom feel visually larger, while a headboard aligned with the mattress creates a more understated silhouette.
The height of our models ranges from 100 to 150 cm. Choose according to your ceiling height: a taller model emphasises the verticality of a spacious room, while a more moderate height combined with lighter shades helps maintain a sense of space in a smaller bedroom. Check compatibility with your existing bed base or bed frame. Allow the headboard to extend slightly beyond the mattress on either side for a balanced and harmonious look.
Which designer headboard styles can transform your bedroom?
The style of your designer headboard shapes the overall look of your bedroom. We offer several design styles to suit different interiors.
The Art Deco style combines geometric lines with refined materials for a retro-chic look. The tufted style uses a padded finish to create timeless elegance. The Italian style focuses on clean proportions with a subtle Mediterranean influence. The industrial style combines rawer structures with a mix of wood and metal, pairing naturally with a wooden bed frame.
For a bolder look, an original designer headboard plays with sculptural shapes, extended sides or a panoramic effect. The key is to maintain a consistent aesthetic: coordinate your headboard with your designer bedside tables and the rest of your bedroom furniture to create a harmonious setting.
How to install and secure a designer headboard?
How you install a designer headboard depends on your room configuration and the model you choose. There are three main options.
A wall-mounted headboard is installed independently from the bed. It frees up floor space, which is particularly useful in a small bedroom, and makes cleaning easier. However, it requires fixings suited to the type of wall, whether plasterboard, brick or concrete. Bed-mounted installation uses a direct fixing system. Check the spacing between the mounting points on your existing bed base before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
Freestanding headboards are placed directly on the floor behind the bed. The weight of the bed helps keep the entire piece stable. Whichever solution you choose, align the bottom of the headboard with the top of the mattress.
Headboards with storage or bedside tables: features that make a difference
Some designer headboards include practical features that help optimise space in your bedroom. Integrated storageprovides side shelves or niches for books, an alarm clock or decorative objects.
We also offer models with included bedside tables: combining a headboard with matching bedside tables creates an instantly cohesive look while saving space. These sets can be paired with our bedroom furniture to create a harmonious interior.
