There are some great value headboards out there right now. Chenille is a great choice if you can't justify the budget for a linen headboard. I prefer chenille to crushed velvet personally, and, if you can't go to real cotton velvet, which like linen, go for chenille, which is cosy and durable.
Another way is to buy a very very cheap headboard, then buy some nice linen and stretch and staple this to your new headboard? It works! Let me know how you do and best of luck.
Please help! Cream Crushed Velvet Bed. How would you design this bedroom? Hi Tani. Is this for the newly painted room? If so, i wouldn't go for the buttoned one as I'm not convinced the colour will go. The velvet looks fine in the pic but so hard to tell!
I can't believe the price, that's much cheaper than making one? I'd go for it. If it is bad then recover it, you won't get it much cheaper secondhand anyway I'm sure.
Crushed velvet is great as it diffuses light and adds visual interest. However it will be more of an attention grabber. Everything is relative so it all depends on how you are putting this room together. A room with luxurious signals is more likely to work with this headboard than a simpler or country look. Hello Tani, Looking at your samples I must say I really like the one on the left It is bold and sophisticated looking whilst offering a starker contrast to the bedding?
I do love the darker colours though and think it will work beautifully That way you have a bit of contrast The dark one would also work beautifully on a chair for the room as well Also price is not always an indication of what's nice Some really expensive companies have a lot of things that I find just awful! I love things that are affordable..
Hello Tani, That's a shame as I was going to say that sounds like a gr8 idea! All the lovely charcoals I want too are just out of my reach at present.. Designers Guild, Zoffany.. Charcoal is my favourite.. I'll have a think.. No good they sell by the bolt! With that much you could do the entire house! Chap told me Northcroft fabrics sell smaller quantities..
Give Nothrcroft fabrics a call.. I tried yesterday as I have a horrible sofa.. My cat the beauty she is decided to do some upholstery for me.. Loosely based on the whole ripped jeans effect! Not quite the look I want for my next publication.. So I too am on the hunt for some charcoal velvet.. If I get through I'll let you know.. Then it will be how to upholster with no upholsterer!
My Cat may well want to offer again! Hey Tani. Two stupid questions but will ask anyway, have you tried on ebay for a wooden headboard? Also, I know you're moving so is a diy headboard attached to the wall out of the question you know where you just cover a piece of mdf in fabric? I like the chinoiserie styles! I think they can look really stunning. It would only be a case of a bit of filler and paint when you move?
Hello Tani, So I did get a call back That's a very nice headboard as it is though.. Yes I know what you mean Tani, All my favourite places are soo expensive.. I get some good discount too and even still.. Zoffany and Designers Guild have the most amazing velvets.
I also love a mustard velvet and deep burnt orange.. We got you. In fact, we got you several times over. All Comfort Works sofa fabrics are soft, beautiful and machine-washable.

The Double Velvet Fabric is a fabric with a short and closely woven nap. What's the difference between plush velvet and crushed velvet? What's the difference between plush and crushed velvet? Crushed velvet has a bit more going on visually. Plush velvet, on the other hand, is more regular to look at, smooth to touch.
The texture is even, and the colour looks constant all over. Why is velvet so expensive? The signature soft texture on the surface of velour is known as 'pile', and is made by cutting across looped threads with a special weaving process. Although created with a similar weaving process, velvet is actually made from pure silk — making it much more expensive and high-end. Can I iron velvet? The most important thing to know about caring for velvet is that you should never iron it.
Doing so could crush the pile and do irreparable damage to any embossing. To eliminate wrinkles from velvet, gently steam the fabric using a hand steamer or the steam from an iron.
Is cotton velvet better than polyester velvet? Cotton velvet crushes easily, which is why it's often blended with another fiber, like polyester, to improve its resilience. This post discusses the Chenille vs Velvet distinction in detail and helps the reader decide which is more suitable for them.
The most prominent difference is the look of the two fabrics. This is an outcome of how the two fabrics are woven using pile weave. Chenille looks like a caterpillar; in fact, Chenille is French for the caterpillar. Chenille is formed by twisting the short length threads around a core yarn at right angles.
This gives the fabric the bunched look. On the other hand, Velvet is formed by slicing the piled cloth into two pieces so that the upper layer is separated from the lower layer. This leads to loose threads coming out and giving the cloth the raised look. Both fabrics are warm enough and suitable for making winter wear. The preference arises mainly from the look of the two products. Therefore, warmth is not a core point of distinction in the Chenille vs Velvet debate. Chenille has a distinct look.
The fabric has a raised surface that is soft to touch. However, the pattern looks as if it is formed of tiny squares fused together.
This is achieved through the twisting of short lengths of thread between the loops of the core yarns. Thread material can vary. Some commonly used fibers are silk, rayon, wool, and cotton. Therefore, it is not always true that Chenille will be warm. Only that Chenille, which uses wool fibers, is warm.
