Shapely upholstered bedheads

There are so many interesting upholstered bedhead shapes around at the moment, what do you think of them? Sure, they can be a little more expensive to have made than the usual square shape, but they can give some extra personality to a room. I like this ikat head board (above) but it’s a little wacky for me to live with long-term - it kind of reminds me of those ink pictures the psychiatrists show to patients in the movies..(love the big lamps though)

It’s the square angles of this bed head that prevent this blue and pink bedroom (above) from looking feminine - I really like this shape and the stud details.

Nothing Nate Berkus does could ever be wrong! Love the dark grey with the gold pillows.

This room really appeals to me (above). The bed head is an interesting shape and the textured fabric goes with the tropical theme here- the coral colour scheme, ikat cushions, seagrass/sisal carpet and the shape of the side table all work together for a beachy look.

The shapes here are so interesting (above). The sunburst mirror and geometric cushion really contrast with the curved art deco-inspired bed head shape.

Now we’re getting a little more classic - a simple shape with stud detail and linen upholstery - I have to say this is more my style!

These deep-buttoned bedheads with wings are popping up more and more - it’s quite an old-fashioned idea and I think gives quite a masculine look (which I love).

Now this is my style! This is one version of my Dream bedroom (above). Love that shade of grey/blue on the walls, the reading light on the wall, the French touches and, best of all, that ultra-high, winged and buttoned dark blue bed head! The only thing I might change is to replace the light with a really modern version to contrast with the classic style of the furnishings.

 

This beautiful duck egg blue colour scheme really appeals - the shape of the headboard is simple, but the white ribbon detail under the studs makes it pop and gives it some extra interest.

    I love them, gorgeous! Wonder if a DIY for that is too unachievable??
    Ps it’s called a rorschach inkblot (the test the crazy old psychiatrists used)
    I want to learn how to upholster and make things like this…

    Love the upholstered bed heads with an ensemble for a classic neat look. I’m with you Naomi, a more simple shape with studs is hard to beat. They look great teamed with a lovely French chair and some striking lamps.
