Custom Headboards: Upholstery Ideas for a Bedroom Refresh

Upgrade Your Space with Style, Comfort, and Personality

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary—a space that feels both relaxing and personal. One of the easiest and most eye-catching ways to update the look and feel of your bedroom is by adding a custom upholstered headboard. It’s a statement piece that combines comfort and style, turning an ordinary bed into the centerpiece of your space.

At JD’s Upholstery, we help homeowners create headboards that are as unique as their design tastes. Whether you’re going for cozy, bold, or elegant, here are some inspiring upholstery ideas to give your bedroom the refresh it deserves:


🛏️ 1. Luxe Velvet for a Glamorous Touch

Velvet adds instant sophistication. Soft, plush, and available in a wide range of colors—from rich jewel tones to soft pastels—velvet headboards bring both drama and comfort to the bedroom.

Perfect for: Glam, Art Deco, or Modern styles
Color Tip: Emerald green, navy, or blush pink are all on-trend for 2025


🌾 2. Linen Upholstery for an Airy, Relaxed Look

Linen headboards are breathable, durable, and timeless. They offer a casual yet elegant feel that’s perfect for creating a calm, restful atmosphere in your bedroom.

Perfect for: Farmhouse, Coastal, or Scandinavian styles
Color Tip: Soft gray, oatmeal, or pale blue


🎨 3. Bold Patterns for a Personalized Statement

Want to show off your unique style? Go custom with bold prints or geometric patterns. From modern art-inspired designs to floral or boho prints, patterned upholstery can turn your headboard into a true focal point.

Perfect for: Bohemian, Eclectic, or Maximalist styles
Design Tip: Pair with neutral bedding to keep the balance


🧵 4. Tufted Headboards for Timeless Elegance

Button-tufted or channel-tufted upholstery adds texture and depth while delivering a classic, high-end look. Whether you’re designing a master suite or guest room, tufting never goes out of style.

Perfect for: Traditional, Transitional, or Contemporary styles
Fabric Tip: Choose suede, velvet, or leather for a rich texture


🪵 5. Faux Leather for Modern Durability

For a sleek and easy-to-clean option, faux leather offers sophistication without the maintenance of real leather. It’s especially ideal for homes with kids or pets.

Perfect for: Modern, Industrial, or Minimalist styles
Color Tip: Stick with neutral tones like black, tan, or ivory


🧺 6. Eco-Friendly Fabrics for a Sustainable Refresh
