Statement Headboards: Go Bold Or Go Homely
A statement headboard is more than just a backdrop for your bed—it’s a design choice that can transform your entire bedroom look and feel. Whether you opt for bold colours, luxurious textures, or grand proportions, a statement headboard allows you to express your personal style while adding comfort and functionality.
Statement headboards can have a bold silhouette, a strong colour, an unusual texture, or perhaps a combination of all of these. The beauty of using your headboard as the statement piece in your bedroom, is that statement headboards are not just about looks, they also provide additional comfort, like when you’re sitting up in bed to read or watch TV.
Whether you want something bold and contemporary or timeless and homely, choosing a statement headboard could be just what you’re looking for to add a defined new look to your bedroom.
Statement Extended headboards
Extended headboards typically stretch beyond the bed’s width—sometimes with side panels or wraparound designs and create a centrepiece in the room, offering visual drama. The versatility of these headboards allows them to suit a variety of interiors from contemporary or minimalist to more luxurious styles.
Extended headboards work particularly well in larger bedrooms where they can create balance and scale, but they can also add depth to smaller spaces by drawing the eye upward and outward. To make the most of an extended headboard, consider how its design can enhance your bedroom's layout and functionality. Choose materials and finishes that complement your existing decor—upholstered panels for a softer, more luxurious feel or sleek wood for a minimalist, contemporary vibe.
When incorporating features like integrated nightstands or lighting, think about their practical placement. Built-in lights can be perfect for bedtime reading, while storage options help keep your bedroom sanctuary clutter-free.
Statement High-Set Headboards
Whether upholstered for a plush, cosy vibe or crafted from sleek wood for a modern edge, high-set headboards bring an undeniable sense of grandeur and sophistication to any space, making them a favourite for anyone looking to add the look of luxury to their bedroom.
When selecting a high-set design, think about practical elements like colour and texture—neutral tones can keep the look timeless, while bold fabrics or intricate details, such as tufting or panelling, can make a statement. Layering with complementary bedding, cushions, and throws can amplify the cosy and luxurious appeal of a high-set headboard.
Statement Coloured Headboards
Boldly coloured statement headboards embrace a more daring, personality-driven bedroom space. Moving away from safe, neutral tones, and using bold colours allows you to create a bedroom that feels instantly unique and expressive. When choosing bold hues, think about the mood you want to create—rich jewel tones evoke luxury, while bright, saturated shades add energy and playfulness. If you’re feeling adventurous, echo the colour in small accents like throw pillows, rugs, or artwork for a cohesive look.
Statement Textured Headboards
Texture is the unsung hero of statement headboards. Although textures, such as timber fluting may be more subtle than extended or high-set headboards, introducing a defined texture adds visual interest to your room while keeping it subtle and elegant.
If you’re aiming for a cohesive look, choose furniture or decor that mirrors the headboard's texture, such as fluted bedside tables or timber accents. For a bolder statement, contrast the textured headboard with smooth, minimalist furniture to make the headboard the star of the space.
Whether you’re drawn to bold colours, rich textures, or oversized designs, your headboard can set the tone for the entire space. It’s the perfect opportunity to let your creativity shine and craft a bedroom that feels effortlessly stylish and uniquely yours.
