High Headboard Beds: Why Headboard Height Changes a Bedroom

A high headboard changes the character of a bedroom in a way that few other single choices can. Where a standard headboard sits modestly behind the bed, a tall headboard commands the wall above it and makes the bed the undisputed focal point of the room. The effect is most noticeable in bedrooms with higher ceilings, where a standard headboard can look undersized relative to the available wall space, but it works just as well in a room of typical proportions where the intention is to give the bed more visual weight and presence.

The appeal of a high headboard is partly practical and partly aesthetic. On the practical side, a tall upholstered headboard provides a comfortable surface to lean against when sitting up in bed, whether reading, watching television, or working. The taller the headboard, the more support it offers across the back and shoulders without requiring cushions or pillows propped against the wall. On the aesthetic side, a high headboard gives a bedroom a more finished, considered quality. It fills the wall space above the bed rather than leaving it empty or relying on artwork to do that work.

Style varies considerably within the high headboard category. Wingback beds combine height with the distinctive angled wing panels that frame either side of the headboard, creating one of the most architecturally interesting bed designs available. Chesterfield beds with tall headboards bring deep button-tufting to a high format, which suits more traditional or maximalist bedroom schemes. Panelled headboards in a high format work across contemporary and classic rooms, adding height without the decorative detail of tufting or wings. Across the collection, high headboard designs are available with ottoman storage bases, combining the visual impact of a tall headboard with full under-bed storage in a single frame.

Fabric choice has a significant effect on how a high headboard reads in a room. In velvet, the pile adds depth to the colour across the full height of the headboard, which gives the frame a sense of quality and completeness. Neutral tones in plush or crushed velvet, including grey, cream, mink, and charcoal, are consistently the most popular choices for tall headboard beds, as they work across a wide range of bedroom palettes and lighting conditions. For specific colour options within the high headboard range, browse by colour using our grey beds, cream beds, and charcoal beds collections.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no fixed industry definition, but high headboard beds typically feature a headboard of 120cm or more in total height from the floor, placing the top of the headboard well above a person sitting upright in bed. Some designs reach 150cm or higher, particularly in wingback and panelled styles.

Yes, though the proportions matter. A very tall headboard in a room with a low ceiling can feel cramped. As a general guide, aim for at least 30 to 40cm of clear wall space above the top of the headboard. In rooms with lower ceilings, a headboard in the 120cm to 130cm range tends to work better than one approaching 150cm or more.

Yes, many high headboard designs are available with a gas-lift ottoman base, which provides full under-bed storage without affecting the appearance of the frame. Side drawer storage is also available on some designs.

A wingback bed is a type of high headboard bed with angled wing panels extending from either side of the headboard. Not all high headboard beds are wingback designs. Panelled and plain upholstered high headboards achieve similar height without the wing detail, giving a cleaner and more contemporary look.

High headboard beds work in most room sizes, though they have the most impact in rooms where the bed wall has enough height to let the headboard breathe. In a larger bedroom, a tall wingback or panelled headboard anchors the space effectively. In a smaller room, a high headboard in a light, neutral colour keeps the drama without making the room feel enclosed.
