Master Bedroom with Chevron Upholstered Headboard
About Master Bedroom Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
Two things share that wall. The main panel is a chevron upholstered headboard that runs the full height, padded so the whole surface is soft to lean on. Next to it is a narrow strip of gold palm leaf wallpaper on a dark ground. We kept the pattern to that one strip on purpose. Spread across the wall it would have pulled attention away from the bed, which is meant to be the thing you see first.
The bed is an upholstered platform type with storage built into the base, so the frame sits low and looks solid rather than raised on legs. The soft beige finish matches the headboard, which lets the two feel like one piece. Lifting the mattress base gives you room for spare bedding, useful in a bedroom where the wardrobe alone rarely holds everything.
The wall facing the bed is finished in wood panelling, and the television is mounted flat on it. Below sits a low media unit with drawers and open shelves for a set-top box. To one side there is a backlit display niche with glass shelves for a few objects. The warm light behind those shelves is the only lighting on that wall after dark, so it doubles as a night glow.
Light comes in layers here. Recessed spots sit in the false ceiling for general light. A pair of ring pendant lights hangs near the centre as the decorative piece. A slim pendant drops beside the bed in place of a table lamp, freeing the bedside surface. Cove lighting hidden in the ceiling tray throws a soft wash upward for the evening.
Yes. A mustard settee sits against the far wall under a framed print, giving you somewhere to sit that is not the bed. The colour is the one strong note in an otherwise beige and brown room, which is why it stands out. It is a small two-seater, chosen so it works as a reading spot rather than a second sofa. In a smaller master this is the first thing to drop.
Most of it will. The chevron headboard and the palm leaf strip take no floor space, so they suit any size. The full wood tv wall and the settee are the parts that need room. In a tighter master I would keep the headboard wall, mount the tv on a slimmer panel, and drop the settee to leave a clear walkway around the bed. The storage bed then does the work the settee cannot.
The wallpaper is the low-effort part of this wall. It only needs a dry wipe now and then, since it sits on a strip clear of the bed where hands rarely touch it. The upholstered headboard next to it is the piece that dates faster, because fabric holds dust and shows marks. If you want the look with less upkeep, a wipeable faux leather headboard gives you the same shape with an easier surface.
The headboard is where the money goes, not the wallpaper. A full-height upholstered panel means a carpenter builds the frame, a fabric is chosen, and someone stitches the chevron lines evenly, which is slow work. The wallpaper strip and the paint are cheap next to that. If the budget is tight, a shorter headboard with the pattern above it drops the cost while keeping the same look. Final figures depend on the fabric and the wall size.
