Final week, I ordered a number of cloth samples from Ballard Designs for our bed room headboard. For the reason that subsequent bed room I design will probably be our remaining bed room, I really need it to be good (clearly), and I need to embrace my favourite issues. One among my favourite issues is an upholstered headboard. I’m nonetheless not settled on the design. I waffle between a easy curved design with nailhead trim and a diamond-tufted headboard. So I’m nonetheless weighing these choices as effectively. However earlier than I can choose a design, I want to choose a material.
Many of the materials could possibly be dominated out instantly as a result of they didn’t play properly with the material cloth. There have been a few materials that I feel will work for future initiatives, like draperies in our household room as soon as we get the addition constructed. So I’m hanging onto them for these future initiatives, however for the headboard, two of them appeared like good choices.
The primary choice is that this Tully Pear fabric. I just like the distinction that it offers with the teal grasscloth, and it appears to play very properly with the material cloth. I additionally like that it’s a thicker upholstery cloth, so I feel it’ll maintain up very effectively. I do want the sample was larger, although. From a distance, the sample appears to get misplaced.
I like the truth that on the Ballard Design web site, you’ll be able to truly see the material on their headboards. Right here’s what this Tully Pear cloth appears to be like like on a easy upholstered headboard with nailhead trim. I don’t love how this nailhead trim is correct on the sting. I’d make some design adjustments for mine, however a minimum of we are able to get an concept of what the material would appear like. That is the Camden Untufted Headboard with Brass Nailheads.
Right here’s a better view…
Right here’s what that very same cloth appears to be like like on a tufted headboard. I like this look. If I needed to decide proper this second, I’d in all probability select the diamond tufted headboard. That is the Camden Tufted headboard.
Right here’s what it appears to be like like on a taller headboard with extra form to it, together with two rows of nailhead trim. That is the Katherine headboard.
Right here’s a closeup of that one so you’ll be able to see each the cording and the nailhead trim.
The second cloth is named Marjorie Pear. I truly like this cloth greater than the primary one, however I don’t assume it performs fairly as properly with the material cloth. I can’t resolve if I feel that’s a giant deal or not since they gained’t be proper up towards one another.
However one purpose I prefer it higher is as a result of the sample is larger and may truly be seen from a distance. Plus…leaves. Y’all know I’m a sucker for flowers, leaves, bushes, and birds.
Right here’s a closeup of the material. I simply love the design, however that is extra of a material cloth. It’s not a thick upholstery cloth. It could nonetheless work superb for a headboard, however I in all probability wouldn’t upholster a chair with it. I’ll say that the colour of this one truly appears to be like nicer with the material cloth. The opposite one is only a contact an excessive amount of on the lime aspect, which isn’t an enormous deal and wouldn’t preserve me from selecting it if it’s one of the best choices and the sample works higher with the material cloth.
Right here’s what this bigger print appears to be like like on a tufted headboard. I find it irresistible. I don’t typically love patterned cloth on a tufted headboard, however I feel this explicit sample works effectively.
Right here’s what it appears to be like like on the taller headboard with the double row of nailheads.
And right here’s a take a look at it on the headboard with the cording and the nailhead trim.
Since I confirmed a closeup of the primary one, right here’s a closeup of this one as effectively.
So let’s take a look at them side-by-side with the wallpaper and material cloth on the left and the headboard on the appropriate. Since I’m actually leaning in direction of the tufted headboard proper now, that’s the one we’ll take a look at.
Right here’s the primary Tully Pear cloth…
And right here’s the second Marjorie Pear cloth.
Ugh! That is arduous. I just like the second cloth (Marjorie Pear) a lot extra, and I like the way it appears to be like on the headboard. I simply don’t assume it appears to be like pretty much as good with the material cloth. I would like it to work so badly!!! However I’m actually pondering the primary cloth (Tully Pear) is the higher selection, proper?
I don’t know if this makes any distinction, however I’ve determined to make two of those bedside tables.
I feel I’ll in all probability go a bit darker on the colour since they’ll be in entrance of white wainscoting. However I’m going with this type, and I’m going to make them look as shut as doable to this since this was my favourite from those I had bookmarked.
