To get a winged headboard or not?
Afternoon All,
I’m currently putting together my master bedroom and hoping once its finished that it will be plush, warm and inviting however I’m a little stuck on what headboard to get, I’ve so far narrowed it down to three options (without the chesterfield tufting):
I’m concerned that if I get a winged headboard that there will be a disconnect between the bed and side tables while sitting or laying in bed but have read somewhere that winged headboards make rooms seem cosier because of the amount of space that they take up.
This is so far the start I’ve made on the room and it is looking a little sparse even though the majority of my furniture is in there because of the high ceilings and lack of art/wall coverings.
Do you think this space would suit the winged headboard or would I be better of choosing one of the others?
Please help!

Comments (12)Look for old wood privacy fence boards cast offs or placed at the curb or better yet call your local fence companies or installers and request that they either save it for you or let you know where the old boards are being disposed of. You can usually find a few boards still with enough meat on their bones to veneer a small space with. Use them to veneer an accent wall or a headboard as you might. These could also be re-sawn in half edgewise by a band saw for more of a true veneer. Save the scraps as test pieces for your finish choices....See MoreIs a padded headboard durable?
Comments (10)Good morning Marinalabib. You can do exactly what NK interior design is saying and I totally agree with him. The alternative is that you use a vinyl which is a wipe able fabric. To have a more sumptuous feel is to go for a fabric with a treatment, but you have to remember that your hair will have natural oils in it and this will stain the fabric. This is just general wear. Please do get in touch if you need any more information. Have a lovely day....See MoreIs a padded headboard durable?
Comments (1)The fabric would need to be scotch guarded (for stain repelling) or have a treatment and possibly have fire retardant. Check specific details with your local upholsterer....See MoreChenille or crushed velvet headboard?
Comments (40)Hey Tani. That's a shame you haven't found one yet. I finally found window shutters tall enough this week after month of searching ( and on the same day of emailing for a quote to have them made typically!) I do think the upholstered frame would be relatively quick and easy? In terms of the door, if you go for a single door, I would pop a bit of architrave on top. I Think the silver leaf could be very expensive and the delicacy of it may be at odds with the thickness of the door ( or there again that could actually make it work!). I quite like the idea of double doors but how tall is the ŵall? I think if you go for that option I would personally have a very distressed effect with white and grey paint, something like the attached ( hopefully less work). I would pile on the texture with the bed though https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/201767350/headboard-vintage-door-replica-by-foo?ref=market...See More

I think the third option would fit your bedroom the most, as an addition, I would pick this kind of wall cladding.
