I\u2019m working on a principal bedroom with a client who is quite keen on the idea of an upholstered headboard but isn\u2019t sure what style direction to take.  When it comes to upholstered headboards, there are a multitude of options.  Straight or curved? Patterned or solid fabric?  Nail head detail?  Button tufting? Wood frame? Or any combination.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You can either make the headboard yourself, have an upholsterer make it for you or purchase one from a furniture manufacturer or a retailer like Restoration Hardware<\/a>, West Elm<\/a> or Crate and Barrel<\/a>.  Even Ikea<\/a> has a couple of upholstered headboards.<\/div>\n

Of course the most economical route to go is to make it yourself.  It\u2019s fairly simple especially if the headboard has a straight top and is slip covered.  If you are handy with a jigsaw, then the possibilities are endless.  There are a number of DIY instructions and videos on the web:<\/div>\n
