Parents Room with Wood Panelled Headboard
About Parents Room Interiors
Common questions from homeowners.
It is a run of dark wood planks carried up the wall behind the bed and held in a slim raised frame that lifts them slightly off the plaster. That reveal gives the panel a shadow line so it does not look like a flat board stuck on the wall. Wood was chosen to warm up an otherwise cream room. Running the timber up the full wall makes the headboard part of the architecture rather than a piece of furniture leaning against it.
Two brown leather barrel chairs and a small round glass table sit in the corner by the window. It is a quiet spot to read or have morning tea away from the bed, using the daylight from the window. Leather was a sensible pick for chairs that get daily use because it wipes clean and softens nicely with age. The glass table keeps the corner feeling light rather than adding another solid wooden block.
The window is fitted with layered blinds that filter the daylight rather than block it outright. You can soften a bright afternoon without shutting the room into darkness, which suits a bedroom you also read in. The blinds sit inside the window reveal so they keep the wall line clean. Paired with the warm recessed lights in the false ceiling, the room can go from bright and open to calm and dim through the day.
Yes. On a second wall there is a dark wood feature panel that carries a wall-mounted TV, with a floating console beneath it and a run of zig-zag display shelves to the side for a few pieces. Matching the TV wall to the headboard in the same dark timber keeps the room reading as one scheme instead of two competing walls. The floating console keeps the floor clear underneath for easy cleaning.
A wood-bladed ceiling fan hangs at the centre of the false ceiling for daily air movement, sitting among the recessed spotlights. Having a fan alongside the air conditioning means you can keep air moving on mild days without running the cooling. The dark fan blades were picked to match the wood tones in the room, so the fan reads as part of the scheme rather than a plain white afterthought overhead.
It can, if you keep it light. In a smaller bedroom you would panel just the bed width rather than the whole wall, and you might choose a lighter timber so the wood does not close the room in. The framed, lifted detail still works at a smaller scale. Pairing it with pale cream walls, as here, is what stops the dark wood feeling heavy, so keep the surrounding walls light in a compact space.
The leather chairs want a wipe with a dry cloth for dust and a leather conditioner a couple of times a year so the surface does not dry and crack. Keep them out of long direct sun, which fades leather over time. The wood panelling needs little more than dusting and the occasional polish suited to its finish. Neither is demanding, but both are natural materials that last far longer with a little regular care.
The joinery leads the budget. A full-height wood panelled headboard and a matching wood TV wall are both custom carpentry, and solid timber or veneer plus fine framing costs more than a shop-bought headboard. The platform bed, floating console and display shelves add to that. The leather chairs and the fan are smaller items. Your final figure depends most on the timber and finish you choose for the two feature walls, so settle those first.
