Bespoke headboards: handcrafted, made to your dimensions, in exceptional materials

Delivery is  headboard  is the centrepiece of the bedroom. It shapes the space, sets the tone for the décor and transforms an ordinary bed into a true haven. Yet the models available in shops rarely meet the practical needs of a real home: ceiling height, an unusual bed width, a precise colour palette or a distinctive style. That is precisely why bespoke furniture exists.

At Bérengère Leroy, every headboard is designed and handcrafted in our French workshops to your exact dimensions and in your chosen materials. No compromises. No prescribed catalogue. A piece conceived for you, and you alone.

Why choose a bespoke headboard?

Designed to suit any configuration

A 140, 160, 180 or 200 cm bed — as well as a king-size bed, a child’s bed, a four-poster bed, an architectural alcove or a sloping wall: situations in which standard sizes do not work are far more common than you might think. Bespoke design solves these constraints naturally, making furniture serve the space, not the other way round.

Achieve perfect proportions

The height of a headboard directly influences how the bedroom feels. A tall, generous headboard gives the bed a monumental presence and creates enveloping intimacy. A lower, pared-back design suits a contemporary space with carefully balanced proportions. You decide every detail: height, width, padding thickness and the shape of the top (straight, rounded, arched, button-tufted…).

Choose a material that reflects you

The  fabric  of a headboard is no mere detail: it is what you see when you open your eyes in the morning. Washed linen, velvet, silk, linen-cotton blends — each material evokes an atmosphere, an emotion and a relationship with time. At Bérengère Leroy, choose from more than 300 natural fabric references, updated each season.

Available materials: a choice of 300 natural fabric references

Linen: the fabric of serenity

Washed linen, crumpled linen, natural linen, linen-cotton blends — linen is the most extensive family in our catalogue. Its subtly irregular texture, its ability to soften over time and its natural durability make it the fabric of choice for a headboard that will last for years without ever looking dated. It suits every style, from the most minimalist to the most bohemian.

Velvet: depth and character

A velvet headboard instantly transforms an ordinary bedroom into a space of understated luxury. Velvet’s changing sheen in different lights — more intense in the evening, softer in the morning — creates a unique visual effect that no other fabric can replicate. Our premium velvets achieve up to 100,000 Martindale rubs, making them suitable for intensive daily use.

Silk and precious fabrics

For the most exacting projects — hotel suites, exceptional bedrooms and prestigious second homes — Bérengère Leroy offers silk velvets and precious fabrics of rare elegance. Silk captures the light with incomparable delicacy and gives the headboard an almost sculptural presence.

Linen-cotton blends

Linen-cotton blends offer the best of both fabrics: the texture and nobility of linen combined with the softness and breathability of cotton. Ideal for children’s bedrooms or spaces in intensive use, they combine elegance with practicality.

Finishes: what makes the difference

A bespoke headboard from Bérengère Leroy is personalised not only in its dimensions and fabrics, but right down to its finishes — those couture details that turn a beautiful piece into a unique creation.

Piping

Set into the headboard seams, piping precisely defines its contours. In a matching tone, it lends a discreet, refined elegance. In a contrasting fabric, it creates a confident graphic effect that gives the piece character.

Upholstery studs

Upholstery studs are one of the most classic and timeless finishes in upholstery. Arranged in a close-set row along the edges or in a decorative pattern, they give the headboard a sophisticated British spirit, somewhere between tradition and modernity.

Button tufting

Button tufting — or quilting — creates regular relief across the padded surface of the headboard, secured with buttons. Whether diamond-shaped (Chesterfield style) or square (contemporary style), it gives the piece textural, sculptural depth, immediately recognisable as a mark of artisanal quality.

Artisanal overlocking

Overlocking gives the headboard a visible, assured couture finish, reminiscent of the codes of haute couture. It is a finish for those who love pieces that proudly display their handcrafted construction.

Craftsmanship: solid beech, high-density padding, French expertise

A sturdy frame

All our headboards are built on a solid beech frame, a wood of choice for upholstery. Strong, stable and durable, it ensures your headboard will not shift or warp and will retain its shape for decades.

Padding designed for comfort

The padding is made from high-resilience foam, selected for its feel and its ability to retain its shape over time. For button-tufted or heavily padded models, additional layers of filling can be added on request.

Made to order, with no overproduction

Each headboard is made only after your order has been approved. No stock, no pieces waiting in storage: your headboard will exist for you alone, crafted responsibly to avoid waste.

Completely flexible dimensions: your bed, your measurements

At Bérengère Leroy, you can specify:

• The width : from 90 cm (single bed) up to 220 cm (king-size bed) and beyond


• The height : from 60 cm for a discreet design to 140 cm or more for a monumental effect


• The thickness of the padding, depending on the effect you want


• The shape of the top : straight, rounded, arched or irregular, according to your design

You can also send us a sketch, photograph or architect’s drawing: our workshops can reproduce your own design or create a new one based on your instructions.
