A high headboard at 60 inches and over turns the wall into a feature. It frames lamps, swallows pillows, and gives instant boutique calm. We build tall designs in Yorkshire with solid frames and tidy upholstery so the scale feels confident, not bulky.
Standard UK ceilings around 240 cm work well with 60 inch heads. Higher ceilings can go taller. Keep visual breathing room above the headboard line.
Measure sill height, blind drops, and any radiators. If the bed sits under a window, check the headboard will sit below the sill or choose a different wall.
Note picture rails, dado lines, and sockets. Tall heads look best when they do not collide with switches or wall lights. A small shift on the wall can perfect the look.
Full base capacity with a smooth lift. Choose end lift if the foot is clear or side lift if one side is your natural access point.
Fast daily access for linens and essentials. Plan side gaps and bedside widths so drawers open fully every time.
Prefer a light look. Keep the floor open and slide slim boxes under if you want a little stash area.
Soft wings hug the space and frame lamps. Works a treat in velvet and chenille.
Deep button texture reads luxe from the door. Tone on tone buttons keep it refined.
Tall head with a gentle scroll for elegant lines and soft corners.
Velvet catches the light. Chenille is cosy. Linen look feels calm. Leather look wipes clean. We will match light and lifestyle.
Check table width and lamp shade diameter. Tall heads love taller lamps with narrow shades. Keep switches clear of the wing or edge line.
Allow for mattress depth and a pair of pillows. You still want tufting, panelling, or texture visible above the cushions for that boutique look.
Measure doors and stair turns. Many tall designs ship in sensible sections. See delivery and returns for the plan.
Cosy rooms that still want drama. Measure side gaps carefully.
Classic bedrooms and guest spaces. Tall headboards set the tone instantly.

Most UK ceilings at 240 cm are fine. Measure from floor to ceiling and allow a little air above the top edge for a calm look.
Floor standing heads bolt to the bed for stability. Some homeowners add discreet wall fixings on plasterboard walls. Ask us for advice if your wall is unusual.
Not if you balance the layout. Keep walkways clear, use taller lamps, and choose fabrics that suit your light. The result feels designed, not heavy.
