Customising a wide headboard for your bedroom

Customising a wide headboard for your bedroom

We see too many homeowners skipping their headboard entirely, treating it as just a “nice to have” But it’s actually one of the most effective ways to elevate your space and is actually practical.


An Afterthought

Many the homeowners we work with brush off their headboard as being optional. They either buy a chunky, off the shelf option that rarely fits the room or skip having a headboard altogether.

 

Protective Benefits

Headboards provide a protective barrier between you and the wall. Nobody wants hair-oil grease marks or be rudely awakened by a midnight head bump to the wall.

 

Wide Headboards Make Everything Better

Extending a headboard past the width of your bed base creates a horizontal line. This tricks the eye and makes compact bedrooms look wider than they actually are.

 

Little Luxuries

A wider headboard gives you the real estate to integrate little luxurious conveniences like reading lights, power outlets right as you bedside without unsightly trailing cords.
