Headboard Upholstery

Change the bedroom focal point without changing the bed

Headboards

The headboard is what you see from the door. Fabric greys, buttons pull, and padding flattens where you sit up to read. Recovering is a short, high-impact job: same board, new cloth, optional new foam and a cleaner edge.

Keep a classic buttoned look, move to a plain tailored face, or add a deeper border. It is an easy way to coordinate with curtains, an ottoman or an upholstered bed frame.

  • Buttoned
  • Plain tailored
  • Deep borders
  • Matching ottomans

What this actually includes

Explained, not just listed.

01

Face recover

Old cloth stripped and a new face fitted tight, without ripples.

02

Foam refresh

Flattened padding replaced so it feels soft to sit against again.

03

Buttoning

Deep buttons re-tied, or a clean unbuttoned face for a simpler look.

04

Edge finish

Piping or a border that makes the silhouette look intentional.

How the job runs

From photos to a piece you can sit on.

A clear path from first pictures to workshop finish — so you always know what happens next.

  1. Measure and photo

    Width, height, and whether it is wall-hung or bed-mounted.

  2. Pick the mood

    Hotel-plain, velvet, linen-look or a patterned feature fabric.

  3. Workshop

    Padding reset and covering fitted on a flat bench for a clean face.

  4. Hang or fit

    Returned ready to go back on the bed or wall fixings.
