why go custom? If you don't see what you want in stores or catalogs, it's easy to come up with your own design. An upholsterer should be able to produce any shape. Bring pictures or a sketch (see a few of our favorite ideas above).
what's the cost? Upholstered headboards from stores such as Williams-Sonoma Home and Pottery Barn that attaches to your existing bed frame costs around $1,200 to $3,000.
how's it made? Proper headboards have a wood frame covered with canvas netting, lined with foam and Dacron, then finished with fabric.
which fabric? Just about any fabric can work, even thin materials like silk is backed with a knitted lining.
