Bedheads, also known as headboards, are essentially decorative panels which are placed behind their ensembles to provide style and comfort. We view bedheads or bedframes (for customers who do not already have the ensemble base) as the central focus or anchor for a bedroom, helping to make your bedroom extra cosy. They are surprisingly easy to install. Just place the bedhead behind your ensemble and the weight of the ensemble will hold it in place. Adding a bedhead instantly transforms the feel of a room, so its a worthwhile investment.
When deciding what bedhead is right for you, there are many factors to consider such as the size, colour and shape. Learn more and discover how to choose a Hamptons bedhead here.
Frequently Asked Questions
A bedhead (or headboard) serves both functional and decorative purposes in a bedroom. It provides a comfortable backrest when sitting up in bed and protects your wall from scratches or pillows slipping down. In stylish Hamptons-inspired bedrooms, a well-chosen bedhead also becomes an elegant focal point that ties the room’s design together.
While a bedhead isn’t strictly necessary, it offers numerous benefits that elevate your sleeping space. A bed without a headboard can look incomplete; adding a bedhead instantly gives your bedroom a more polished, finished look. Beyond aesthetics, bedheads provide comfort and support, making activities like reading or breakfast in bed more enjoyable.
Most standalone bedheads can be easily attached to a bed frame using the provided hardware or brackets. Typically, the bedhead aligns with the back of the bed base, and bolts or screws secure it through pre-drilled holes in the frame. The process is straightforward and ensures the bedhead is stable, giving your bed the appearance of a single, cohesive piece.
The best material for a Hamptons-style bedhead is linen. At Style My Home, we've tested bedheads made from other materials such as rattan or timber—but nothing compares to the feel and look of high-quality fabric and what better fabric is there than 100% linen. Linen offers the perfect balance of relaxed coastal elegance and everyday comfort, giving your bedroom a soft, luxurious focal point that invites you to unwind. A linen-upholstered bedhead provides a plush surface to comfortably lean against—whether you’re reading, scrolling, or sipping a morning cup of tea in bed. It's the ultimate way to achieve that classic Hamptons look while also enhancing comfort and cosiness.
Yes. Most simply stand behind the bed. For ensembles on wheels, we recommend using stabilising cups or removable tape.
Once you’ve chosen a beautiful Hamptons-style bedhead, you can elevate the entire space by layering in pieces that add both comfort and elegance. Start with a bench or blanket box at the foot of the bed—perfect for storing throws or sitting while putting on shoes. A matching linen valance instantly creates a tailored, seamless look that softens the base of your bed. Next, incorporate elegant bedside tables, a chest of drawers, or a coastal-style lamp to enhance both form and function. These key furniture pieces help frame the room and bring it together visually. To finish the look, style the bed with fresh linen, plump European pillows, and soft scatter cushions—this final layer ties everything together and transforms your bedroom into a calm, luxurious retreat.
Yes—Style My Home bedheads and beds are designed to suit a variety of interior styles, not just Hamptons homes. While they are inspired by the relaxed elegance of coastal living, their clean lines, neutral tones, and timeless silhouettes make them incredibly versatile. Whether your space leans modern, classic, country, or contemporary, our upholstered linen bedheads and matching beds blend effortlessly into the room. Their soft textures, quality craftsmanship, and understated detailing allow you to style them your way—whether that’s with layered neutrals, bold artwork, or sleek bedside furniture. You don’t need a full Hamptons home to enjoy the look and feel of our beds—they offer comfort and beauty in any bedroom.
Lightly vacuum your linen bedhead or bench occasionally using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and keep it looking fresh. For any spills or marks, gently blot with a damp cloth and mild fabric cleaner—avoid rubbing or over-wetting the fabric, and always spot test first. If you regularly lean against your bedhead, we recommend using a pillow or cushion to protect the linen and reduce natural wear. For tougher stains, a professional upholstery cleaner is best. Also, try to keep your bedhead out of direct sunlight to prevent fading over time.
