Is velvet a good fabric for headboards?


Absolutely! There’s something undeniably show stopping about a velvet-upholstered headboard. It turns a bed into a statement and a bedroom into a sanctuary. Velvet’s tactile richness, depth of colour, and timeless elegance make it one of the most coveted materials in bespoke interior design schemes.

Now one understands this better than Made Bespoke, a Lancashire-based interior renovations specialist whose services include luxury beds and some of the most incredible extended velvet headboards you will ever encounter.

For this brand, not just any velvet will do.

This luxurious plain velvet has a smooth, soft handle that invites touch, while its matte finish offers a more understated elegance than traditional high-sheen velvets. The result is a fabric that feels modern, calming, and effortlessly refined.
