Small Double Headboards

Why should I get a small double headboard?

A small double headboard is perfect for adding a focal point to the room without it feeling overbearing or garish. Small double beds are narrower than standard double beds, so your small double headboard won’t take up as much wall space. That being said, it’ll still offer protection to your wall and ensure you have somewhere comfortable to rest your head while relaxing in bed.

Which style of small double headboard is right for me?

Once you’ve decided that you’d like a headboard to complete your room, it’s time to choose a style that suits your décor and desired feel. There are plenty to choose from in different shapes, sizes, colours and textures.

An upholstered headboard is usually constructed with a wooden base and has padding on top with fabric or leather stretched over. This creates a comforting, luxury aesthetic and adds another texture to the room. Your headboard choice will depend on your décor and the overall style you want to emulate. Here are some of the most popular options:

Classic rectangular - this style is usually plain in design and comes in chenille or soft woven fabrics. Some plain headboards, such as the Stamford and the Columbia, also have stripes running horizontally or vertically to break up the shape slightly.

A classic rectangular upholstered headboard in a small double size would be a fantastic addition to a guest or spare bedroom. It’s best to decorate these rooms in a neutral style which appeals to everyone, and the unfussy design of this headboard will ensure the room looks complete while still being to everyone’s taste.

Rectangular with border - if you want to wake up feeling like you’re staying at a five-star hotel, this is the headboard for you. Rectangular fabric headboards with a border are effortlessly chic. The small detailing ensures that the headboard doesn’t get lost into the background but doesn’t feel too dramatic, either. This is a gorgeous option for small double headboards as it will feel carefully considered without feeling over the top.

Button - the epitome of glamour, buttoned headboards have that vintage boudoir feel that is coveted among homeowners. Whether you want a heavily buttoned, geometric style in a smart, woven fabric like the Lever or a more classic, dreamy backdrop like the Fairfield, this style is completely timeless.

Faux Leather - while all the styles previously mentioned are available in fabrics, some can also be made in faux leather. Faux leather adds a tougher, more rustic feel to your bedroom. It can also bring warmth and another dimension of textures to your room. If you have children or pets, a leather headboard offers a wipe-clean surface; perfect for clearing away sticky finger and paw marks!

What to consider when buying a small double headboard?

If you don’t have a Dreams small double divan base, it’s important to check that your small double bed base will fit our headboards. Most of them come with struts which easily slide onto the divan base and secure the headboard in place. However, some styles will only fit onto adjustable beds, so ensure to check which style of headboard you’re buying before making your purchase.
