Where to Find Affordable Stylish Upholstered Headboards
In this post: Shopping ideas to help you find updated upholstered headboards that fit into your budget and work with your home’s style.⇒
Well, I’m at it again!
Last time I did this I was looking at coffee tables for my family room and I shared my research with you. You gave me your opinions and after much consideration, I finally made a decision. And no sooner did I order it…
I haven’t even received it yet…
And I’m on to the next thing.
Upholstered Headboards
Oh, don’t worry. I’ll be sharing my choice as soon as I receive it and can photograph it for you. But with that out of the way, I started thinking about upholstered headboards.
The thing is, I *just* bought the coffee table.
And a kitchen table.
And maybe even a few chairs. Hubby is not going to be happy about this. So, if I’m going to be getting a new headboard, it really has to be affordable. I mean a cheap headboard!
The problem is… this is what I really want…
I want to approach our bedroom the same way I did the breakfast room.
I want it essentially French inspired with vintage accessories, but with a few bold modern pieces to give it a refreshing update.
So, I’m looking at light colored upholstered headboards with perhaps some tufting and nailhead trim. The wingback piece above has it all and it’s awesome. But it’s not exactly a budget piece.

This one above is one of my absolute favorites with tufting, deconstructed detailing, nail heads and a small wingback shape. It’s available at the enclosed link, but beware, it’s not what I would call cheap. Not by a long shot.
The tufted piece above has a similar story. I love its clean lines and how it would work well with so many different design styles. Perhaps if I hadn’t just gotten the other pieces this would be fine, but hubby would have kittens if I buy this now.
I’m also loving this chesterfield style that’s both classic and modern at the same time.
Ok, what’s a girl to do? I could wait… but I’m not good at that. So, I thought I’d take a peek at what’s available out there in a similar feel, but at way more gentle prices. And lo and behold, I found so many affordable upholstered headboards that are really quite awesome!
There’s even a chesterfield in the mix!!
The shopping guide below includes some of the above more expensive pieces for those whom are ready to invest now. But the vast majority are super affordable and can fit in most any budget.
So, happy shopping! Don’t tell hubby I sent you… 😉

Pretty options. This hits at the perfect time because I’m looking at similar headboards to redo my son’s room. He needs a queen size bed and needs a more grown up look. I’m thinking wingback headboard and manly plaid.

Sounds perfect, Nancy!
I love the wingback and it’s usually best to get what you want (no chance of regrets). I also like the 2nd headboard, the tufted one. It looks comfortable to lean on, if it were used for that. I had a arched velvet headboard, in the 70’s, so I would not do that again. Recently I was thinking about your ‘new coffee table’ and can’t wait to see what you picked.
Haha, I can’t wait to see it too! Should be here in another week or two… 😉 Thanks for the kind words!!
Just moved into my new renovated home and I feel the need to turn my bedroom into my comfort zone after a long day in the office…therefore I would like to see what fresh yet modern n affordable headboards you having

Something to throw into the consideration discussion…we were browsing in Arhaus and stopped in front of the headboards. A salesperson told us “just remember tufted headboards are a nightmare to keep clean, especially if you have pets or a dusty house”. She went on to say be prepared to constantly vacuum out the tufts! I built my own padded headboard years ago. It’s easy…plywood, quilt batting, beautiful fabric and a staple gun. Voila!
Oh, that’s interesting. I’ve had my tufted headboard for several years without any problem. But we use a lot of pillows on the bed included euro pillows to lean against when sitting in bed. How nice that you were able to DIY your own!
Here’s a reasonably priced tufted bed, I purchased mine from Home Depot. I wish I could share a pic of it so you can see it. I’ve refurbished old headboards into tufted headboards for friends as well. I preferred to purchase instead.
