Headboards

A headboard transforms a bed from a mattress into a room’s most significant piece of furniture. At Lulu and Georgia, the headboard collection spans upholstered styles in linen, velvet, bouclé, and performance fabric; tufted and channel-quilted designs; wood and cane headboards; rattan and natural material options; and statement arched and oversized styles designed to anchor a bedroom wall. Each chosen for material quality, visual weight, and the way the piece reads from across the room.

What headboard styles does Lulu and Georgia carry?

The collection includes panel-upholstered headboards in linen and performance fabric, tufted and channel-quilted velvet styles, arched and curved silhouettes in upholstered and wood finishes, cane and rattan headboards, solid wood headboards in natural and painted finishes, and oversized statement pieces with integrated nightstand wings. Most styles are available in queen, king, and California king. Some are available in full size. Wall-mount and freestanding attachment options vary by style.

How do I attach a headboard to a bed frame?

Most upholstered and wood headboards are designed to attach directly to a standard bed frame using the frame’s pre-drilled leg holes. Hardware is typically included. Some headboards are wall-mounted rather than frame-attached — these require wall studs or appropriate anchors and are noted on the product page. For adjustable bed frames or platform beds without standard attachment points, check individual product compatibility notes before ordering.

What headboard height works best for a room with standard ceilings?

For a standard 8-foot ceiling, a headboard between 48 and 60 inches tall reads as substantial without overwhelming the wall. Oversized headboards of 60 inches or taller work best with 9-foot or higher ceilings. A headboard should extend at least 6–8 inches above the top of the sleeping pillow when the mattress is on the frame — typically 24–30 inches above the mattress surface for most standard mattress heights. Very low headboards (under 36 inches) read as a design choice rather than a proportion error.
