Headboard Help

If you don't wish to build a headboard, you can have an upholsterer complete the entire project.

Check with local fabric stores and upholstery shops to find someone to do the work. You can specify the style and size needed and have the headboard made using your choice of fabrics.

At some fabric stores, you can purchase a ready-made, basic frame. (This type of headboard already has the foam applied.) All you have to do is choose the decorative fabric covering, stretch it across the headboard, and secure it on the back with staples or tacks. Muslin is stapled over the back to hide the raw fabric edges.
