Whether you want something durable and robust or a luxurious fabric that gives the room an air of class, there\u2019ll be something that appeals to you.<\/p><p>I have written a complete guide on reupholstery fabrics which you can read here, but I\u2019d like to touch upon the options in this post to give you an idea of which ones work best for headboard reupholstery.<\/p><ul><li>Faux leather is a great option if you want something timeless and classic. Not only does it create a contemporary feel, but faux leather is also very durable and easy to maintain.<\/li><li>Linen is one of the most hard-wearing reupholstery fabrics and it\u2019s a natural material so it\u2019s breathable and won\u2019t hold onto odours. That said, it is more difficult to keep clean than something like leather.<\/li><li>Velvet is incredibly popular and has become something of a trend in recent years. It will give your bedroom a beautifully luxurious look. However, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind that velvet can hold onto dust and pet dander so will need to be vacuumed regularly.<\/li><li>Chenille is another excellent choice if you want a luxurious look. What\u2019s more, it\u2019s super soft and creates a cosy vibe for your bedroom. Do keep in mind that chenille is more likely to stain and will require deeper cleaning than some other fabrics.<\/li><li>Cotton is a natural and breathable material that also boasts incredible durability. But like linen, cotton can hold onto stains and will require more maintenance.<\/li><\/ul><p>Don\u2019t forget that there is an endless number of choices in all types of fabric when it comes to colour and pattern. This is a great way to overhaul your bedroom aesthetic and create a focal point. Whether you\u2019re looking for something classic and simple or a statement piece that instantly catches the eye, there will be a fabric that you fall in love with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0779561 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0779561\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How To Reupholster A Headboard<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-163981b color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"163981b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is possible to reupholster a headboard yourself. This involves removing the headboard from the bed or wall and taking measurements to ensure you cut the correct length of fabric.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll then need to carefully measure and cut your fabric, leaving around 5 cm around the edges which will allow you to staple the material in place.<\/p><p>One of the trickiest parts of reupholstering your headboard is wrapping the fabric around the furniture and securing it in place. It\u2019s usually best to start at the top of the headboard and hammer your tacks into place before moving down the sides, eventually ending up at the bottom.<\/p><p>It\u2019s important to pull the fabric tight but not too tight as this can cause it to stretch. Once everything is secure, you\u2019ll then need to use staples to finish off the job before removing any excess fabric.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-055a6fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"055a6fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Professional Touch<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-97d414f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"97d414f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4e80bb color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4e80bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It sounds like an easy DIY job, but headboard reupholstery does require a level of skill. If you\u2019ve never done it before and can\u2019t be sure that you\u2019ll succeed, I would recommend hiring a professional for the job.<\/p><p>I\u2019ll level with you, having a professional reupholstery company work on your headboard is going to be more expensive. But you have to keep in mind that the quality of the work is going to be far superior.<\/p><p>What\u2019s more, there\u2019s always a risk that, when you do it yourself, things may go wrong. You\u2019ll then have to start from scratch, possibly purchasing new fabric and spending unnecessary money.<\/p><p>It\u2019s also important to point out that a professional upholsterer will apply skills and methods that ensure longevity and the best aesthetic outcome. This means that you\u2019ll have a headboard that will look high-end and will also stand the test of time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e84a5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9e84a5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3919\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard-600x596.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deway.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Navy-Velvet-Headboard-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-020ee63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"020ee63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Deway Touch<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e41f83 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e41f83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Deway is proud to have been reupholstering headboards for many years and our experts guarantee the perfect results every time.<\/p><p>We have so many happy customers whose headboards have been taken from drab to fab and we\u2019d love to take on your headboard as our next project.<\/p><p>Our team is dedicated to quality; just take a look at some of our <a href=\"http:\/\/deway.co.uk\/index.php\/headboard-upholstery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">before and after photos<\/a> to see our high standards.
