Headboards: Style + Function – Add Personality to Your Bedroom

A headboard is more than just a finishing touch; it’s the focal point of your bedroom and a key part of your comfort. The right headboard can completely transform a room, turning a plain bed into a stylish centrepiece while adding practical benefits like support, warmth and even sound insulation.

At Algram by Night in Ballymena, we offer a wide range of fabric, wooden and upholstered headboards designed to suit every décor and budget. Here’s how to pick one that perfectly reflects your style and enhances your sleep space.

1. Why Headboards Matter?

Style

Your bed is often the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom, so the headboard sets the tone. Whether you want something elegant and classic, modern and minimal, or bold and luxurious, the right design brings personality to your space. A plush, tufted headboard adds hotel-style comfort, while a sleek wooden design gives a clean, natural look.

Function

Headboards aren’t just decorative:

  • They provide back support when sitting up to read or watch TV.
  • They act as a barrier from cold walls, keeping you warmer at night.
  • They can reduce noise and vibrations, great if you live in an apartment or have a shared wall.

Practical and stylish, what’s not to love?

2. Matching Headboards to Décor Styles

Here are a few design ideas inspired by popular décor trends:

Modern Minimalist

Clean lines, neutral tones and soft fabrics work best. Try a padded fabric headboard in light grey or oatmeal; it pairs beautifully with contemporary divans and crisp white bedding.

Classic Elegance

A button-tufted or winged headboard in rich velvet or suede brings timeless sophistication. Pair it with deep tones like navy, emerald, or charcoal for a luxurious feel.

Rustic Charm

Opt for wooden or linen-look headboards in natural finishes. These complement warm lighting and textured throws, perfect for a cosy, farmhouse-inspired bedroom.

Boutique Hotel Glamour

Looking for drama? Go for tall, statement headboards in bold colours or patterned fabrics. Combine with metallic accents and layered bedding for a designer finish.

At Algram by Night, our collection includes everything from understated simplicity to plush, statement designs, so there’s something for every taste.

How to Choose the Perfect Headboard

A few quick tips to help you find the ideal match:

Choose the Right Height:
Tall headboards make a bold statement and suit high ceilings, while lower designs keep things sleek and modern, ideal for smaller rooms.

Pick the Right Material:

  • Fabric/Upholstered: Soft, comfortable, and available in a variety of textures.
  • Wooden: Durable, natural, and timeless.
  • Metal: Adds a vintage or industrial feel to your space.

Coordinate Colours:
Match your headboard to your bed base or contrast it for visual interest. Neutral tones work well for versatility, while bold hues create a striking focal point.

Think About Comfort:
If you like to sit up in bed, opt for a padded or upholstered headboard. For purely decorative use, wood or metal can add style without the extra cushioning.

A fantastic experience

Was purchasing a new bed/mattress for my Dad ( who’s in hospital.) The gentleman in the showroom was so helpful, not only did we receive same day delivery but the company also offered to take away our... old mattress and bed which was so much appreciated. A first class service. Thank you!

Purchased a mattress for delivery to Dublin

I recently purchased a mattress (over the phone/email) with the assistance of Austin. He was very helpful; the delivery was organised quickly to Dublin; and done very efficiently. There was a slight m...isstep on their end and was immediately remedied with no hassle. They really must have the hardest working delivery workers in the business. It is thankless work and I'm appreciative of how they managed to somehow move the new mattress and remove my old one from my "efficient use of space" house.

Would highly recommend Algram

Would highly recommend Algram Ballymena. We appreciated the time taken by Mr. Graham to explain the difference in the huge range of mattresses available. As as result we felt able to make a confident ...choice. Delivery was as estimated by courteous delivery people who even took our old mattress away for us. We tested our mattress last night & are delighted with our purchase - had a great nights sleep!

Enchanted Bed

I ordered a new bed from Algram Ballymena. They recommended Enchanted beds. I can honestly say this bed is amazing so supportive and comfortable. It definitely was an excellent choice. The bed was del...ivered, assembled in the bedroom and all packaging removed by very pleasant delivery staff who were very polite and courteous.

Excellent from start to finish.

We recently bought a Harrison Spinks mattress from Darius at Algram, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Darius, along with (I believe) his son, was incredibly informative sharing b...oth their own experiences and feedback from other customers. We had been searching for a new mattress for a while and had visited several other retailers, but Algram stood out as a clear cut above the rest in terms of honesty, knowledge, and genuine expertise. We spent over an hour trying out different spring counts, brands, and styles, and we kept coming back to Harrison Spinks. There was absolutely no pressure at any point - just helpful guidance followed by plenty of space to decide what felt best for us. Our mattress was delivered four weeks after ordering, and the delivery team were fantastic. They were friendly, extremely careful, and took their time navigating the mattress through the house without knocking any paintings, chandeliers, or walls. No rushing- just real care and a great chat along the way. In terms of price, we were delighted. After checking online, Algram was cheaper than anywhere else, including shops advertising the same mattress “on sale.” Thank you to Darius and the whole team. Look no further than Algram.
