Double Bedheads

Styles of double bedheads

A double bed head can completely transform the feel of your bedroom, adding personality, comfort and structure to your sleep space. From soft, upholstered styles to clean, timber silhouettes, there’s a wide range of looks to suit every interior. If you’re going for a classic and cosy vibe, tufted fabric bedheads in linen or velvet create a plush, inviting focal point. Prefer something more pared back? Timber or rattan bedheads bring a natural warmth and work beautifully in coastal or Scandi-inspired rooms.

For a bolder statement, opt for high-profile designs with winged edges or vertical panelling. You can explore all available options in our bedhead collection to find the perfect fit for your style.

Trends in double bedheads

Right now, curved silhouettes and textural fabrics are making waves in bedroom styling. Think rounded corners, boucle fabrics, and statement stitching that adds depth without overwhelming the space. Earthy tones and soft neutrals remain popular, with beige, olive and terracotta providing a grounded, calming backdrop to your bed setting.

Mixing materials is also trending, timber frames with upholstered inserts, or fabric panels paired with metallic accents, bring layered interest to your double bedhead. And if you’re after a timeless foundation, classic neutrals and structured lines never go out of style. You can pair your double bed head with one of our double beds or double mattresses to complete the setup.

Installation and compatibility of double bedheads

Most double bedhead styles are easy to install and designed to suit standard Australian double bed frames. Some attach directly to the frame using included brackets, while others are freestanding and simply slide behind the bed base. Always check the product description for specific mounting details to ensure compatibility with your bedroom setup.

Whether you already have a frame or are starting fresh, it’s worth confirming that your new double bed head aligns with your base for height, width and style. For a seamless experience, browse our bedroom furniture collection to find pieces that coordinate beautifully with your chosen bedhead.

Customising your double bedhead

Adding a double bedhead is one of the easiest ways to express your personal style in the bedroom. Dress it up with layered pillows, textured throws or a statement quilt cover to elevate the look. If you’re working with a bold colour or a patterned bedhead, balance it with soft, neutral linen. For simple designs, you can be playful with colour, artwork and bedside accents.

Some upholstered styles are available in a range of fabric types and colours, so you can choose a finish that complements your existing palette. And don’t forget lighting - bedside lamps or wall sconces on either side of the bedhead help create a warm, balanced space that’s perfect for winding down.

Choosing the right double bedhead for your bedroom

When choosing a double bedhead, start by considering the vibe of your bedroom. Do you want your bedhead to be the focal point or blend effortlessly into the background? Think about the wall colour, surrounding furniture, and how much visual impact you’d like the bedhead to make.

Consider the scale. If you have higher ceilings, a taller bedhead helps to achieve a balanced look. Conversely, lower ceilings will suit shorter bedhead profiles, ensuring the space doesn’t feel cramped.

Upholstered designs add softness and texture, making them perfect for cosy, inviting spaces. Timber or rattan options lend a more relaxed or earthy tone to the room.

Also, think practically: how much maintenance are you happy with? Fabric styles may need the occasional vacuum or spot clean, while timber can usually be wiped down with ease. And, of course, make sure your bedhead is a perfect fit for your double bed frame for a polished, professional finish.

FAQ

Will any double bedhead fit my existing bed?

Most double bedhead designs are made to suit standard double bed sizes. Just make sure to check the mounting method and measurements to ensure compatibility with your existing frame.

Can I use a freestanding bedhead?

Of course. Many double bed head styles are freestanding and can simply be placed between the bed and the wall. These are especially convenient if you want a no-tools setup or if you’re not sure about mounting a bedhead with brackets. They’re ideal for renters.

How do I care for my double bedhead?

For fabric bedheads, vacuuming with a brush attachment and spot cleaning with a mild detergent usually works well. For timber styles, a damp cloth and gentle wipe-down will keep them looking their best.
