A bedroom is not complete without a stylish headboard. It adds spice and detail to your space in more ways than one. It also makes your bedroom cozy and inviting. Upholstered bed design concept had gone underground and had been overtaken by other elements but now, it is rapidly coming out of the shadows and making a huge statement.
If you have ever purchased an upholstered headboard before, you know there are different types available on the market. It all comes down to your taste, preference, and size of your wallet. Here are 3 types of headboards to give you an idea for the next time you want to buy one that suits your needs.
1. Floor standing
Upholstered bedheads Sydney can be floor standing. With this design, the headboards are attached to the divan but go all the way to the floor. If you don’t want the bedhead to touch the floor but you want to avoid the gap between the divan and the headboard, you can use a pillowstop. A pillowstop not only masks the traditional nuts but also matches with the fabric on the headboard and creates a seamless and flushed overall finish.
2. Wall mounted
Going by the name, wall mounted bedheads are attached to the wall. This type is great if you are not a fan of the space that often exists between the headboard and the wall as with conventional headboard designs. To achieve this, a mounting plate is installed on the wall before fitting the headboard. This sounds like too much work but in the real sense, it is actually a DIY job that can be done in a matter of minutes. Once the bedhead has been fitted, it can be easily lifted to clean or change the upholstered fabric.
3. Plywood molded struts
If you want to have the freedom to move your bed as you please, choose an upholstered bedhead Sydney that comes with plywood molded struts. These struts are carefully locked in place and attached to the bed so it can enhance its mobility.
4. Tufted Headboards
Generally, headboards are meant to offer a smooth transition from your cozy, pillow-topped mattress to your cold wall. You can achieve this smooth transition through texture, color, and comfort. For a texture that integrates well with your bed’s thickness, opt for a tufted upholstered headboard. Go for Tufted headboards with thick padding as they tend to allow for deeper tufts and often appear luxurious.
Whether you want a king-size or single headboard, the specific design of the bedhead you choose matters a lot. You should settle for the option that is versatile and beautiful and one that won’t sacrifice your comfort in any way.
