Irene uses a tall upholstered headboard to give the bed a clear vertical presence. The framed panel arrangement allows the border and centre to be considered separately, bringing definition through colour and texture rather than carved ornament.
Design, proportions and details
Compare the complete headboard with the available wall height and width. Its framed outline can extend beyond the sleeping area, so bedside lighting and furniture need to be planned around the outside measurements.
The base can be selected for fixed or compatible storage use. A lifting storage arrangement changes the construction and access requirements beneath the mattress, while the padded rails and feet influence the visible height of the finished bed.
Irene’s contrasting panel options can make the border more or less prominent. Compare the selected samples together at the scale of the full headboard, then check the complete width against bedside tables. The height of the base and mattress also affects the amount of framed upholstery that will remain visible above the bedding.
Irene has a tall, slim headboard composed of an upholstered outer frame and a separate inner panel. Because the two areas are distinct, the design can be used for contrasting two-zone colour combinations without changing its minimalist geometry.
