Headboard Styles We Build
Tufted Headboards →
Tufted headboards bring a timeless, tailored elegance to any bedroom. Whether diamond tufting, biscuit tufting,
deep tufting, or modern shallow tufting, each piece is hand‑crafted with precise folds, premium foam, and optional
buttons. Perfect for traditional, transitional, or contemporary interiors, tufted headboards create a soft,
luxurious focal point with artisan‑level detailing.
Channel Headboards →
Channel‑upholstered headboards offer a refined, architectural look with vertical, horizontal, or mixed‑direction
layouts. Each channel is individually padded, shaped, and upholstered for perfect symmetry. Choose soft, plush
channels for comfort or structured channels for a modern, sculptural profile. Ideal for bedrooms that need clean
lines and visual rhythm.
Wingback Headboards →
Wingback headboards add dimension, presence, and a sense of enclosure. Built with classic curved wings, slim modern
wings, or oversized sculptural wings, each design frames the bed with elegance and proportion. Perfect for creating
a cozy, boutique‑hotel feel or a dramatic, statement‑making centerpiece.
Arched Headboards →
Arched headboards introduce soft curves and graceful silhouettes into the space. From single gentle arches to
double‑arched designs, each piece is CNC‑cut for perfect symmetry and upholstered with master‑level precision.
Arched headboards bring a romantic, elevated aesthetic to both modern and traditional bedrooms.
Scalloped Headboards →
Scalloped headboards feature intricate curves, wave patterns, and sculpted silhouettes that add personality and
charm. Every scallop is CNC‑cut for accuracy and upholstered by hand for crisp, clean detailing. This style is ideal
for boutique‑style bedrooms, children’s rooms, or any space that benefits from a playful yet luxurious touch.
Geometric & CNC‑Cut Headboards →
Geometric headboards combine modern design with architectural precision. Angled patterns, panel‑based layouts, and
CNC‑cut shapes create bold, structured compositions that align perfectly with wall panels and cabinetry. These
headboards are ideal for contemporary interiors and clients seeking a custom, design‑driven centerpiece.
Wall‑to‑Wall Headboards →
Wall‑to‑wall headboards transform the entire room into a cohesive architectural installation. Built as full‑width
upholstered systems, they integrate seamlessly with nightstands, lighting, outlets, and millwork. This hotel‑style
approach creates a dramatic, immersive backdrop that elevates both comfort and design.
Floor‑to‑Ceiling Headboards →
Floor‑to‑ceiling headboards deliver maximum impact with vertical scale and architectural presence. Each installation
is custom‑built to your ceiling height, room proportions, and design intent. Ideal for luxury primary suites,
boutique hotels, and modern interiors that demand a bold, tailored statement.
Wall‑Mounted Headboards →
Wall‑mounted headboards offer a clean, modern look with flexible installation options. Built as floating or
panel‑mounted systems, they provide stability, comfort, and a minimalist aesthetic. Perfect for tight spaces,
modular layouts, or clients who want a sleek, contemporary headboard without a full bed frame.

Custom Headboards FAQ
Do you build fully custom headboards from scratch?
Yes. Every headboard we build is fully custom — not modified retail. We design and fabricate each piece from scratch across our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and West Nyack CNC facility, tailored to your dimensions, room layout, and design vision.
Can you build extra-tall, wall-to-wall, or floor-to-ceiling headboards?
Yes. We regularly build oversized, extra-tall, wall-to-wall, and floor-to-ceiling headboards for primary suites and designer-led projects. Systems can be wall-mounted, bed-mounted, or integrated with upholstered wall panels for a continuous architectural look.
Can you match a designer photo or inspiration image?
Yes. We can match or reinterpret designer headboards, hotel inspiration, Pinterest images, or architectural details. We adjust proportions, height, and detailing to fit your mattress size, ceiling height, and room geometry.
What materials can you use for custom headboards?
We work with performance fabrics, linen, velvet, suede, full-grain leather, faux leather, and COM (Customer’s Own Material). High-density foams, layered padding, decorative stitching, and trim details are selected based on comfort, durability, and design intent.
Do you accept COM (Customer’s Own Material)?
Yes. We regularly work with COM fabrics and leathers specified by designers and homeowners. We review yardage, durability, and suitability for the design before production so the headboard performs well over time.
Can you integrate lighting, outlets, or built-ins with the headboard?
Yes. We coordinate with electricians, cabinet shops, and millwork teams to integrate reading lights, sconces, outlets, switches, and built-ins. The headboard is engineered to align with your wall layout, nightstands, and surrounding cabinetry.
Do you deliver and install custom headboards?
Yes. We provide white-glove delivery and installation across Fort Lee, Bergen County, NYC, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County. For tight-access spaces and NYC apartments, we design modular or split systems to navigate elevators and stairways.
How long does a custom headboard project take?
Most custom headboards are completed within several weeks after design approval and material confirmation. Timelines depend on complexity, COM availability, and any coordination with wall panels, built-ins, or lighting.
