Feature Headboard Beds

Choosing the right bed with headboard 

When every bed is handcrafted with premium materials, it can be hard to decide between luxury options. So, make sure to read the following information about feature headboard beds as we help you make the right choice for your home. 

Materials and fabrics  

Material plays a huge part in making a style statement with an oversized headboard. Not only does it need to look good, but it should feel soft for those lazy mornings watching TV or late evenings sat reading. Here at OPA Living, you have nine different fabrics to choose from: 

Luxe velvet – Rich and plush, you’re sure to make a feature of your bed with our luxe velvet headboards. Available in our widest range of colours, this warm fabric is a customer favourite.  

Bouclé – You can’t go wrong with a bed with a bouclé headboard. With a nubby texture made of tightly looped yarns, this is a contemporary option that’ll make your bedroom bang on trend.  

Linen – Perfect for a minimalist home, feature headboards made of linen are sophisticated and chic. A top choice for modern and minimalist homes, linen has a natural elegance you’re sure to adore. 

Kobi – If you like the soft durability of velvet and the subtle weave of linen, kobi could be a choice for your new bed with a feature headboard. A midway point between these two fabrics, it’s a practical choice for any home. 

Palermo – Similar to luxe velvet, palermo chenille has an undeniable rich softness with a light-catching two-tone finish.  

Mythica – A practical choice for modern homes and families, mythica is made of a durable slub weave and is soft to the touch.  

Olympia – This timeless fabric has clean lines and a subtle texture - like linen - making it a popular choice for chic and timeless décor schemes.  

Luxe cord – If you like opulence, consider this premium fabric. It has the rich softness of luxe velvet with subtle ridges for added interest. 

Fernando – Another fabric with a subtle weave, fernando is a versatile option that will suit almost any décor scheme, and it’s super strong for busy households.

Colours  

Once you know what fabric you like best, you can explore our array of colour options. If you’d like a bed with a cream or beige headboard, a bed with a feature green headboard, or something bolder, we have a vast collection for you to choose from.  

Please be aware that colour availability varies by fabric. Neutrals are available in all fabrics, but bold hues are saved for our luxe options. 

Other elements to consider  

Size – Here at OPA Living, we have all shapes and sizes in our collection. So, whether you’re looking for a single or small double bed with a headboard, or a much more spacious king option, we’ll stock the size for you. 

Before you click ‘buy’, though, remember to check the dimensions and measure your room, doorways, and hallways. This will ensure a smooth delivery and avoid unfortunate returns. We’d also recommend checking your ceiling heights, as some of our feature headboard beds are quite tall. 

If you can’t find the ideal size for your home, design your bespoke feature with our per-panel headboards. Sold in sections, these panels allow you to create a feature headboard that’s as big or small as you like. 

Shape – Do you prefer a classic, tall rectangle, a low and wide feature headboard bed, a gentle arch, or a headboard cushion with a wave shape? We stock them all. 

Maintenance – Regular maintenance will keep your feature headboard bed looking its best for longer. So, be sure to keep it clean. For emergency spills, discover our care kit. Also, make sure not to drag the bed; always lift it when moving. 

Bed type – If you know what material, colour, shape, and size you need, you’re almost there! Beyond budget, the only other consideration is what type of bed you’d like. For example, if you have a large room and want to maximise your space further, check out our king-size beds with storage and headboards. Our ottoman beds are a best seller.
