The frame stays

Everything visible can change

Under the fabric, most headboards are just padding on a plywood frame. That frame rarely gives out, so with headboard reupholstery CT bedrooms can get a fresh fabric, outline and tufting in one job.

Fresh fabricSwap in velvet, linen, boucle, leather or suede on your existing frame and padding.

Different outlineTurn a basic rectangle into an arch, a scallop or a wingback.

Different tuftingPick channels, diamond buttons or a smooth tight face to suit the room.

Looks

We can build any of these over your frame, or keep the shape and just change the fabric.

Wear and outline

What wears out, and what the shape can turn into

Headboards seldom break. They wear, stain or start to look dated, and the shape can change along with the fabric.

Repair can be the better call

FAQ

Common headboard questions

Questions we hear before people book headboard reupholstery CT wide.

Does reupholstering a headboard make sense?

In most cases it does. A headboard frame is basic and sturdy, so headboard reupholstery CT owners book costs far less than a new upholstered bed, and you choose the exact fabric.

Can my headboard get a new shape?

Often it can. We can build a rectangular frame out into an arch, scallops or wings. Send a photo with the size and we will say what the frame can take.
