Bespoke headboard in Rennes: handcrafted, noble materials, free delivery

Rennes is a city where heritage and modernity meet: its half-timbered houses sit alongside renovated lofts in the centre, while its Haussmann-style flats neighbour contemporary spaces in the new town. Every Rennes home has its own personality — and that is exactly why a  bespoke headboard  is the ideal choice for a truly successful bedroom.

At Bérengère Leroy, every headboard is designed and handcrafted in our French workshops, to your exact dimensions and in your chosen materials. Delivered free of charge to Rennes and throughout Brittany within 30 days.

Why choose a bespoke headboard in Rennes?

Made to suit the full diversity of Breton interiors

Rennes has some of the most varied architecture in France: medieval half-timbered houses in the Saint-Anne district, city-centre flats with generous ceiling heights, townhouses in the very centre, contemporary lofts in former industrial districts, and suburban homes with bedrooms of standard proportions. Each setting calls for different proportions, different materials and a different headboard.

The  bespoke  is the only answer that truly respects each space. You choose the height, width and thickness of your headboard down to the centimetre, so that it fits into your bedroom as if it had always been there.

A cohesive look, from the bedroom to the living room

Rennes interiors often have a distinctive character: an assured Breton spirit expressed through raw, natural materials; pared-back contemporary décor; bohemian chic; or updated classic style. In every case, a bespoke headboard allows you to extend your interior’s decorative identity cohesively — by choosing a  fabric  that complements your walls, curtains, flooring or existing furniture.

Materials available: 1,000 natural fabric options

Linen: a material that speaks to the Breton spirit

There is something naturally right about the pairing of linen and Brittany. A noble material with ancient origins, washed linen brings organic warmth, a softly textured feel and an assured naturalness to a bedroom, perfectly suited to Breton interiors — whether rustic and welcoming or pared-back and contemporary.

Stonewashed linen, crumpled ecru linen, natural hemp linen and linen-cotton blends: our collection offers the full richness of this family of fabrics in a palette of colours carefully refreshed each season. For a light-filled bedroom opening onto a garden, or an interior with the feel of a Breton country house, it is the obvious choice.

Velvet: give your interior a distinctive character

For Rennes bedrooms that want to go beyond natural materials and make a strong statement, velvet is the material of choice. Its changing sheen in different light — more intense in the evening, softer in the morning — transforms the headboard into the bedroom’s true centrepiece.

Our high-end velvets (up to 100,000 Martindale rubs) combine durability for everyday use with incomparable visual richness. Camel, sage green, storm blue, terracotta and ivory velvet: deep shades that give structure to a space and stand the test of time.

Bouclé and textured fabrics

Highly textured materials — bouclé, softened wool and textured fabrics — are ideal for bedrooms seeking a cocooning, enveloping atmosphere. Much loved in Brittany for their warmth, they bring immediate tactile and visual appeal, perfect for autumn and winter evenings.

Responsibly sourced materials

Bérengère Leroy selects exclusively natural, responsibly sourced materials. Our wood is PEFC-certified, our foams carry CertiPUR and Oeko-Tex labels, and our recycled velvets are made from recycled fibres. Every  headboard  is made to order, with no overproduction.

Handcrafted finishes: every detail matters

Buttoning

Buttoning is the most iconic finish in upholstery. Handcrafted by our artisans, it creates regular reliefs — diamond-shaped for a Chesterfield feel, square for a more contemporary look — punctuated with fabric or brass buttons. In a Rennes bedroom with generous proportions, a tall, generously buttoned headboard makes a striking impression.

Upholstery nails

Set by hand, one by one, upholstery nails define the outline of the headboard with a regularity and precision that only handcrafted work can achieve. In gold, silver or bronze finishes, they add a classic, timeless touch that is much loved in characterful interiors.

Piping

Set into the headboard’s seams, piping defines its lines with couture-like precision. Tone-on-tone for understated elegance, or contrasting for a confident graphic effect: it is a finish that changes everything without drawing the eye.

Hand-finished overlocking

Visible overlocking is the finish for those who love pieces that proudly show their hand-crafted origins. It gives the headboard an authentic couture finish, reminiscent of haute couture ateliers.

Embroidered initials

For a gift — a wedding, moving into a first flat or a master bedroom — our workshops can embroider initials on your headboard. An exclusive touch that makes it a truly unique piece.

Construction: solid beech frame, high-resilience foam

Every Bérengère Leroy headboard is built on a frame of  solid beech, the upholsterers’ wood of choice for centuries. Strong and stable, it ensures the frame retains its shape perfectly for decades, without warping or creaking.

The padding is made from  high-resilience foam, selected for its comfort to the touch and durability. For deeply padded or buttoned models, additional layers of filling are incorporated for a generous, lasting result.

The fabric is applied, the finishing details completed and the final assembly carried out entirely by hand in our French workshops. Every piece is inspected before dispatch.

Fully customisable dimensions

You can choose:

• The  width : from 90 cm to 220 cm and beyond, to suit every bed size


• The  height : from 60 cm for a discreet look to over 140 cm for a monumental effect


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


• The  top shape : straight, rounded, arched or irregular
