Choosing the right headboard for your space is great for enhancing your bedroom décor and sleep quality. There are so many options that are on the market right now, so how do you know which is the best one for you to choose?

In this guide, we’ll break down the best headboards for small bedrooms, and the differences between strutted and floor standing headboards. We’ll also give you some tips on colour theory and which styles to go for.

Whether you’re a solo adult living in a small apartment, or you’re planning on setting up a new bed for your spare bedroom, we have a selection of luxurious headboards that are ideal for small spaces.

Strutted Headboards Vs Floor Standing Headboards

Knowing the difference between floor standing headboards and strutted headboards can help you choose the one that suits your bedroom’s size, as well as other factors such as convenience and style. Let’s take a look at their differences and why they might be good for you.

Strutted Headboards

Designed with wooden vertical wooden slats, strutted headboards are fantastic for smaller bedrooms and you can adjust their heights. They can easily be installed to the back of your bed, making them a convenient and versatile option for smaller spaces.

Whether you have a bed in a loft conversion or small guest bedroom, strutted headboards don’t require any bulky frames or wall-mounted installations - you’ll be able to get great sleep in no time with these space-saving solutions.

Floor Standing Headboards

Floor standing headboards sit directly on the floor - they’re a durable and sturdy option, ideal for all kinds of spaces, both large and small. A tall floor standing headboard gives the illusion of a larger space, which is great if you’re wanting to make your bedroom feel bigger.

Stylish Headboard Designs For Small Beds

Classic Headboards

If you have a small bedroom and you’re into the traditional style, we have a large selection of headboards that are available in small single and single sizes. Our chesterfield headboardis designed with a sophisticated tufted pattern that adds a touch of luxury to small bedroom spaces.

Another option is our highbury headboard, designed with a tufted button pattern and a series of vertical lines that gives the illusion of a longer bed. These options are sure to go well with your existing classic décor.

Contemporary Headboards

The simple, minimalistic and modern look might be more up your street - we definitely have headboard choices to cater to this style!

The manhattan headboard is designed with vertical lines, a pattern that is sure to make any bedroom feel more contemporary.

The Texas headboard is designed with horizontal lines giving the illusion of a wider bed. It’s a great option if you have a small, compact space and would like to make it seem wider.

Like the classic headboards, our range of modern headboards are available in a selection of beautiful fabrics, such as Plush Velvet, Dumfries and Naples.

Colour Theory For Small Bedrooms

Our headboards are available in a wide selection of colours to choose from, so you can truly get creative when it comes to the customisation of your new bed. For small spaces, colour can have a big effect on how your bedroom is perceived, so we have some tips here to help you decide what colours to go for.

Dark Tones

Darker colours tend to make the space feel even more drawn in, which is definitely something to bear in mind if you’re wanting to make your small bedroom space feel more open. This is due to the fact that dark colours, especially black, absorb more light. However, they’re still beautiful colour options that can make your bedroom feel cosy.

We have a selection of dark tones to choose from, including slate, black, pebble, and navy. These dark and earthy tones work well in so many different interior styles, so you can go to town with your decor depending on your personal tastes.

To get a feel for these fabrics in person, why not order a fabric sample from us? You’ll be able to visualise how your headboard would look in your bedroom, and it’ll save you from the hassle of the returns process.

Lighter Tones

For smaller bedrooms, many people are drawn towards lighter shades since they’re great for making your space feel more open and light. Whether you have a tiny guest bedroom or a small apartment, lighter colours are just the thing that can make your space feel larger as they reflect light.

Just like our darker colours, we also have a selection of lighter colour tones, including silver, pink and cream. Plus, these lighter tones work so well with many interior styles, whether classic or modern - you’re sure to find the one that not only improves your sleep quality, but matches with your décor.

Why not pop down and visit us at our showroom? You’ll be able to get a sense of our product range in person, and ask any questions you may have!
