Wooden Headboards

Why choose a wooden headboard?

Wood is a classic material for all furniture and is so popular because of its versatility, durability and timeless quality. If you already have wooden furniture in your room, choosing a wooden headboard to add to your bed frame can complete the look of your bedroom and act as a stunning centrepiece. The warmth of classic wood colours instantly brings nature into your home and creates a cosy environment. Whether you choose a traditional oak headboard or go for a more modern style, each item is made to the highest standard.

What types of wooden headboards are there?

When it comes to wooden headboards, there are two main styles available; those that are left natural, and painted headboards.

A natural wooden bed headboard adds warmth to a décor, with the earthy brown tones. This works great for a cottage feel, and can perfectly match other wooden furniture in the bedroom. Match a natural wooden headboard with cool tones to make this the centrepiece of the room.

If you're looking to add a little colour, but love the versatility and durability of a wooden headboard, our painted wooden headboards are a great choice, and are perfect for matching a divan bed base in your colour of choice. Why not add a white wooden headboard to give a classic look to any bedroom. This colour is versatile and an ideal choice if you like to redecorate often, but don't want the hassle of buying a new bed each time you change the colour of your walls.

Things to consider when buying a wooden headboard

The most important thing to consider before buying a wooden headboard is the size. You will need to choose a headboard in the same size as your divan base - this is because they are made with two prongs that will match up to the divan base to affix the headboard.

You should also ensure to check the dimensions of the headboard before you purchase it to check that it will fit well in the assigned space. For example, wooden headboards for double beds can vary in size depending on the design as some may be wider or taller, especially if they have a border.
