DDL Design & Decor Lab: Top Tips To Choosing A Headboard

Banging your head when it comes to choosing a headboard? The team at DDL Design & Decor Lab, a full turnkey interior decorating, designing and bespoke manufacturing company, is here to help.

Material

Headboards are available in two main options: fabric or wood. 

Upholstered headboards offer a plush, comfy surface along wide variety of material, colour, texture and finish options. For instance, clients can choose between fabric, leather or vinyl with deep-buttoning detail, stitch detailing, and more.

The Edgar and Chere headboards from DDL Design and Decor Lab are great examples of the customisable detail available when it comes to upholstered headboards.

Wooden headboards, on the other hand, exude warmth and durability. These, too, can be customised with wood stain or paint.

The Othello headboard combines wood and upholstery for a striking vocal point in the bedroom.

Style

Headboards are available in a variety of styles – square, curved or panelled. Curved headboards are perfect for those looking to create a luxurious and sophisticated atmosphere, while square headboards fit contemporary schemes well. For a more classic and traditional look, opt for a panelled headboard.

Size

When it comes to choosing a headboard, a design’s height plays a crucial role. A tall headboard makes a bold statement, adding a touch of drama and elegance to your space, while a lower headboard offers a sleek, modern look with a more subtle charm.

When choosing a headboard, consider the height of your ceilings – a tall headboard in a room with a tall ceiling can command attention and create a grand, dramatic effect, while in a room with a low ceiling, a tall headboard may overwhelm the space and make it appear even smaller.

Also take the size of your bed into consideration – the two should complement one another and create a visual balance.
