Questions You Should Ask Yourself When Considering An Upholstered Headboard:




Does it fit into your sleep routine?

If you watch TV or read in bed at night, upholstered beds with a tall headboard are perfectly designed to provide you with a cushioned support and cultivate a cozy feeling in your bedroom.













Do you have pets?


If you’re a proud pet owner set on an upholstered bed, pick a microfiber option as it’s easiest to clean.







Are you allergic to dust?


If you’re set on an upholstered headboard, consider other materials such as leather, a tightly woven textile, or a “performance” fabric option. These will help keep dust from penetrating into the frame, while also giving you the look you want.






Do you have a small space?


For a small bedroom, an upholstered bed could result in a tight space with narrow walkways. If you must, choose one in white or soft gray to minimize the visual impact.













Are you looking for some color?

Upholstered beds look best in hues that are highly versatile, such as gray, cream, or blue. These colors pair beautifully with a wide range of accents, metals, and finishes. These palettes are also ideal if you’re going for an atmosphere that’s not void of color.

Of course, upholstered beds are offered in more vibrant fabric colors as well if you’re one for a bold look. Either way, these can ultimately function like a piece of art that can help add color to your walls as well as soften the linear angles of your space.





Do you want to make a statement?


Without a doubt, an upholstered bed is guaranteed to be the most captivating centerpiece in any bedroom. From platform styles, to swooping sleigh beds, to winged headboards, an upholstered bed in any bed frame style is guaranteed to make your room feel tailored and sophisticated.
