Bedroom Design: How Much Does it Cost for an Upholstered Headboard?

Your bedroom will be your haven at home after a long and hard day at work. It is also the best place for you to unleash your creativity and show your personality through its design. Should you go for an upholstered headboard or should you just make one on your own?

There are several things to consider when choosing a headboard for your bed at home. According to Hadley Court, the cost of an upholstered headboard can go for as low as $150 to as high as $10,000.

The price of an upholstered headboard depends on a variety of materials and factors. The publication noted that the biggest determining factor to the overall cost of your headboard lies on the fabric, trim and the length.

According to the publication, a simple headboard shape with a solid or small-printed textile work best for those who are working on a tight budget. Larger prints will often cost much more than those without prints.

Aside from this, designers will also need to consider the height and width of the mattress and the box spring. This is usually the first thing they need to consider to determine the cost of an upholstered headboard.

A mattress and box spring, which sit on a metal frame and covered with a bedspread, are said to cost lower than having a coordinating headboard and box spring. The height and the pillows are also a determining factor to the overall cost of the headboard.

If these costs are way out of your budget, Real Simple suggested on making one on your own.

The outlet noted that a mantel can be used to replace the traditional headboard. You can also make one on your own by simply choosing a fabric and wrapping it around an older headboard.

You can also make a vintage sheet headboard by taking wood cutouts and attaching them together with wood strips to create a frame. Then, place a vintage sheet at the back of these wooden frames to create an even more sophisticated look and feel.
