Today I’m singing the praises of upholstered headboards! They are so super attractive, on-trend right now and quite inexpensive! Let’s talk about how an upholstered or padded headboard can change the look of a bedroom in your home.
Have you ever thought that an upholstered headboard would be a great addition to a bedroom in your home?
They are so popular right now for so many reasons!
Two of the bedrooms at Tanglewood have padded headboards and we love them.
WHY WE CHOSE AN UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD
I think the biggest reason we replaced our rice carved four-poster bed with an upholstered headboard was that after a couple decades we were tired of that matchy-matchy look and wanted to update our room. And it completely changed the look of our bedroom!
Adding an upholstered bed to our room also gave us permission to break up our matchy-matchy furniture and replace it over time with pieces that gave our room a fresh look!
If you want to update your bedroom start with an upholstered headboard!
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE BENEFITS
There are many reasons to choose a gorgeous padded headboard for your bedroom…
POCKETBOOK FRIENDLY
These beautiful headboards can cost as little as $100.00! And some can be quite pricey.
But in reality, you can find oodles and tons of gorgeous headboards that fall in the $100 to $300 dollar range. And that is a whole lot of decor bang for your buck!
Our headboard cost a little over $200.00! You can see it HERE. The tan headboard we chose is out of stock right now. However, you can get the same headboard in a stunning gray.
ON TREND BUT NOT TRENDY
Padded headboards are an updated look but they don’t look too trendy!
Really upholstered headboards have been around for centuries! And they have been making big statements and style impressions in bedrooms for a long, long time!
Upholstered headboards are a new classic!
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOR
Because these headboards come in so many styles and many colors they will work with almost any decor!
Right now, neutrals or moody blues and grays are very popular. These colors are a great foundation and background for the rest of the bedding on a bed!
And they also bring in a big dose of texture to a room!

Hi! I am wondering if you can tell me where the orange bedspread came from as well as the pillows?

I’ve been thinking of getting an upholstered headboards so this post was timely. My question is how do they attach and what kind of bed frame do you use with it?
We attached ours to the bed frame. They can also be attached to the wall. Hope this helps.
Is your bed frame the hollywood type?
Hi Nanci, our bed is a Temperpedic and it has its own bed frame. Any bed frame would probably work for attaching an upholstered headboard to.

I finally got out this week to a favorite home decor market. There was an oversized body pillow/hanging headboard on hooks used for a fabric headboard. Another booth had used European shams covered and hung from hooks. I thought either would be great in guest rooms.
Sounds so pretty Mary!
I love your quilt and pillows – the color is so warm and I just want to go lay in that room. Do you remember where you got those items?
Hi Linda, You can see the duvet cover and more here:https://www.stonegableblog.com/master-bedroom/

Hi Yvonne, I love your bedroom! We are shopping for a new mattress and would love an upholstered headboard. Please let me know what kind of frame your headboard is attached too. Is you mattress a foam or traditional spring coil one. Thanks so much!
Where are the prints from that are above the nightstands? I have the same headboard and love it!
Hi Darleen, I found them locally and have not been able to source them. sorry! You can see all the sources for my master bedroom here:https://www.stonegableblog.com/master-bedroom/
I switched out my queen poster bed for a king upholstered one from Pottery Barn and absolutely love it! It breaks up the set, looks more current, and gave me a good excuse to get all new bedding.
Smart girl, Joanna! I bet you love the look of your bedroom!
Absolutely beautiful. I love how timeless and luxurious it makes the space look.
Thanks, Janine!
Thank you Janine!
May I ask where your bedskirt came from?
Or, if you made it, where did the material come from.
It is gorgeous.
Hi Virginia, the bedskirt is raw sild and is so so pretty! Here is a link to it:https://rstyle.me/+CTbVMAaukQwc_TD-I18Flw
Thank you so much! Beautiful – absolutely beautiful bedroom
Your bed is absolutely beautiful. I love the gold pillows and throw. I’ve been trying to find the post where you share the sources for them. Can you help? Thank you!
Sorry, I’ve not created one yet. I’ll do that over the weekend! Thanks for the reminder.
Do upholstered head boards just fit where the wooden one on our bed is? Is it easy to switch? Thinking of changing our queen size bed.We have a matchy matchy set that we have had for over 30 yrs. Think it might be time for a change!😄
Kathy, you will love the new look. There are different ways to install a headboard. Some you can actually install on the wall and some screw into the bed frame. Read the specs of each headboard to see how it is installed. Hope this helps.
