Your headboard does more than anchor the bed. It sets the tone for the whole room. And while fabric and colour get a lot of the attention (rightfully so), the style of headboard you choose shapes how the finished space feels just as much.
At Curtainry, we make all three of our headboard styles in the same beautiful fabrics and finishes. What differs is the silhouette and how they sit in your room. Here's what you need to know.
Leg Mount Headboards
Clean, classic, and wonderfully practical.
A Leg Mount headboard attaches directly to your bed base via support legs that tuck neatly behind the mattress. No drilling into walls, no complicated installation. It moves when your bed moves, and it's as simple as that.
This makes it a natural choice if you're in a rental, furnishing a guest room, or simply want a headboard you can set up and rearrange without a fuss. The look is timeless and works just as well in a contemporary space as it does in something more traditional.
Panel Headboards
A full, floor-standing statement behind your bed.
Panel headboards are a step up in presence. The upholstered panel runs all the way to the floor, creating a generous, seamless backdrop behind your bed. No legs on show, no interruption in the fabric.
If you want something that reads as deliberately designed, this is the one. The clean silhouette makes it incredibly versatile while still giving the room that pulled-together, finished feeling that a smaller headboard can't quite achieve.
Wingback Headboards
For the bedroom that deserves a focal point.
Take everything that makes a Panel headboard work and add upholstered wings that wrap forward on either side. That's a Wingback. The wings frame the bed, add depth, and bring an architectural quality to the space that makes the whole room feel considered.
If you're going for something with a bit more drama and luxury, this is it.
Which style is right for you?
A simple way to think about it:
Choose a Leg Mount if you want something practical, portable, and classic. Choose a Panel if you want a clean, floor-length feature that lets the fabric do the talking. Choose a Wingback if you want to make the bed the undeniable centrepiece of the room.
All three are made to measure, upholstered in your choice of fabric, and delivered to your door. If you're not sure which direction to go, we're always happy to help you decide.
