The Oversized Bedhead

The Head of Your Bed

Want to be the head of your bed?

Looking for a bedroom style makeover without going to the expense of buying a new bed? Well, why not consider an oversized bed headboard? It makes a stylish and luxurious addition to any bedroom. Big, bold, and luxurious, an oversized headboard can make a statement without overwhelming your space, adding a touch of sophistication and instantly elevating the look of your bedroom.

Is bigger better?

We all know bigger isn’t always better but when it comes to your bedhead I do think it is!  An oversized bedhead or headboard can add drama and a focal point to your bedroom, creating a sense of luxury and opulence. Importantly, it also provides extra comfort and support making for a cozy and comfortable backdrop for reading or watching TV in bed. With the larger surface area, it also allows for customisation with fabric, colour, and design giving you more opportunity to add interest and texture to the room as a whole.

How do you make the transition to a super-sized bedhead?

Start by measuring your bed to ensure a proper fit. Think of the extra proportions as you would when choosing bedding – like putting a King size doona on a Queen Size bed. Or a Super King on a King Bed. Consider the height and width of the oversized headboard for proportion. And the style and width of your bedside tables.

Choose a style that complements your existing decor. If your look is traditional maybe consider button trims. If coastal, maybe consider slip-cover/linens. Modern? Try velvet panels or no panels at all. Or a funky rounded shape instead of rectangular.

Where do you get one and how do you style it?

Check out the furniture stores for a wide selection of styles and sizes, or browse online retailers for unique and customizable options. Some of my favourites include Beds a Head, Luxo Living, and Bed Nest. OR you could consider hiring a pro like me for more insider tips to help you choose the design and have it custom-made to your specifications.

As always, when it comes to style, don’t forget it’s not what you wear it’s how you wear it.  The same applies to styling your interiors. The addition of a large textured rug and – space allowing – a footstool will really complete your look. Don’t forget some beautiful flax bed linen and cushions to take your makeover to the next level!
