We love making fabric headboards for our clients, we can create them in so many different styles, fabrics, shapes and sizes. A brilliant way to add a touch of luxury to your room. We normally recommend that the headboards are fixed to the wall rather than the bed itself – so much easier to make the bed or to pull the bed out. We have simple brackets which are attached to the wall and to the headboard allowing for it to be removed quickly and easily for cleaning or decorating. Don’t forget though, the same rule about about flame retarding the fabric applies.
Clients often ask me if the bed would slide across the room if they sat up in bed and leaned against the headboard – highly unlikely given the weight of quality modern beds, though the thought does make me smile. Worst job ever is pulling out the bed to clean beneath, definitely not to be tackled on your own as a physio friend specialising in bad backs once told me.
A stunning fabric by Colefax in a simple but classic style.
Wool is ideal for this task as it is naturally flame retardant and adds an element of fun. Trimmed with a row of antique brasss studs for the final touch. The fabric is by Moon, English wools at their best.
For this version I was asked to create that Boutique hotel look, we used two fabrics by Zinc for that wow factor.
And completely the opposite in every way, a country look with a delicate printed linen fabric by Kate Forman
Two examples for the keen DIYer. The one on the left has an embroidered linen panel in fabric by Jane Churchill, attached right around the headboard so that it is removable for cleaning – very practical – and could even be done over one you may have already. The second one uses applique and buttons to make something really unique in oddments of plain fabric.
