Custom Made Headboard HELP!

8 years ago

Hi All,

I'm looking for someone who can make a bespoke headboard for me as I want it very big. I live in the West Midlands. I've googled but due to the large size I'm having problems. What would you suggest, a carpenter/joiner?

Width = 310cm

Height = 186cm

I've attached a pic too. Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

This is extremely large!
Your problem will be that sheet materials like chipboard or mdf which would normally form the structure of the headboard come in 2440mm x 1220mm. This means you need to join it. Joining then upholstering would be unsuccessful unless you are doing it in situ.
I would talk to s local upholsterer if I were you.

Hi Denise I have just ordered shutters for my house for all the front windows which is costing around £1000 and roughly 8 or 9 square metres I'd estimate. However this is for DIY install shutters from the California Shutter company who have been recommended by a friend who uses them regularly, they aren't arriving until first week of December so I can't vouch how easy they are to fit yet!. They're prices start at £125 sqm in the sale at the moment. http://www.californiashutters.co.uk/ Take a look at Nina Campbell's Pagoda Garden fabric it's similar to your original accent fabric in the photo, although I don't have a sample to hand just now. It looks as though it has the stronger bluer tone you need to stand up to your walls. http://shop.ninacampbell.com/nina-campbell-fabric/autumn-2006/pagoda-garden.html I recommend a sample of a velvet or woven chenille for your footstool such as Osborne and Little's Peregrina F6350-07 or Canaletto F6142-10. These are contract fabrics suitable for upholstery which I can supply. Also Osborne and Little's domestic fabric Brehon Linens in F6520-20 is really gorgeous with lots of blue tones in which I feel would complement your scheme. Finally Sabi Addo F6272-08 is a really luxey light reflecting velvet and Rondelle Takarshi pictured here: http://www.osborneandlittle.com/products-and-collections/fabric/autumn2012/rondelle/tarkashi?id=2c149a3fd57045fd971eb480ac6a2b06 is a beautiful cut velvet for amazing cushions or throws if you are looking for that extra wow factor! If the blues become to silvery or yellowy you could always add in a neutral colour as I have done in my Coastal Scheme if you look on my profile. Just ask if you need to know any fabrics you see on the pictures. Hope this helps! PS I also supply Nina Campbell fabrics so if you need samples quickly please contact me rachel@spiniverdesign.com or 01637 621038 Best of luck I know how frustrating it can be! Rachel

Hi Alexandra For an unframed option you would be looking at around £1200-£1300 including installation. If you go for an inflame option it will be over £2,000. Both these options would include Blum drawers but the inflame option would have dovetailed drawers. Hope this helps, Conor Ballycastlehomecare

To get a winged headboard or not?

The size of the bed will affect how the winged one looks more than the others. If it’s only a standard double I don’t think it will look in proportion, I don’t know why it matters more, maybe because it’s a bit more three dimensional than other headboards.

Sadly we can't move the door. It's a bungalow and all the doors are next to each other so it will open onto someone coming down the stairs. Beds won't fit against the papered wall as door hits them. We have found the best place is against the chimney and as Mary says, we are going to get a large sheet of ply and create one large headboard now (will pad and fabric over - as for what pattern or colour to go for, that's another dilemma!! 🤣). Then do a build in shelf that curves around to form side tables (think Colourhappy mentioned this as well) In the future - we think we are going to panel the whole wall up so it forms a flat wall and the panel sections in the alcoves will become cupboards for storage 😁 No time to do it now but I think in autumn we can design and get it made without little disruption. It would give us a good large wall then without compromising on space. now just need to work out how to dress the room 😱 - separate thread I think??
