Jerome Shorter’s Headboard Upholstery

If you are redesigning your bedroom, or you just want to add a bit of drama and opulence, consider an upholstered headboard from Jerome Shorter Furniture. The right headboards upholstery can have a calming effect on the atmosphere in the room, while at the same time imbuing it with elegant overtones that harken back to more civilized times.

Headboards upholstery: origins

Headboards have been with us since the ancient Egyptians first added them to royal beds in an effort to keep nighttime drafts off the monarch. The Romans adopted this idea which remained popular among European aristocracy right through the Middle Ages.

Upholstered headboards made their first appearance during the 17th century as the well-to-do moved away from canopied beds and embraced the tufted headboard’s brand of intimate opulence. Since that time their popularity has ebbed and flowed, but recently they have returned to favour in a big way.


 

The Right Upholstered Headboard for You

Creating the right upholstered headboard for your bedroom requires careful consideration of a number of factors. First of all, oils from skin – and especially hair – must be taken into account. Choose the wrong material and it won’t be long before oil stains and damages the headboard.

 

If you have pets that are allowed into the bedroom you should also be aware that some fabrics are veritable magnets for pet hair. So you will need to work closely with our design experts to choose a fabric that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

 

Upholstered headboards can also be pretty thick and stand away from the wall several inches. So if your bedroom is on the smallish side you may want to go easy on the tufting, lest it make your small room seem even smaller.

We will notify you when the headboard is finished and you will have the option of picking it up or having us deliver it to your home. If you wish, we can install it too.

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.
