10 ways to create a feature headboard

Using Naturewall's Individual SlatWall slats to create a headboard in a bedroom

Naturewall SlatWall panels used to create a dramatic headboard on back wall and ceiling, Blue wall paper and pink bedding.

Beautiful Ceiling Design

This incredible design incorporates LED lighting and staggered individual wooden ceiling panels. Taking the slats onto the ceiling is a great way of zoning the space and is often seen in hotels to make the bed the main feature of the room. Now you can bring this high-end and luxury look into your own home!

Painted Panels

Yes, that’s right, you can paint your SlatWall Panels any colour to create the perfect design for you. If you want to keep your minimal colour palette, you can simply paint the panels the same colour as your wall to add depth (a trick that many designers use!). 


Top Tip: Placing your SlatWall at the side of your bed gives the feel of a bigger space by splitting up the wall and creating visual interest.

Shorter Headboard

You can create this stunning design by easily cutting your bedroom wall panels in half using a fine toothed wood saw or handheld power tools (it is easy to do, trust me). Or you can take a look at some of our favourite wooden headboard panels to achieve the same look.
Another design trick used by designers to create visual interest and add depth to a space by bringing in another dimension and material. This way, you can jump on the trend of bringing in natural materials to your interior without it overpowering your room.


Top tip: To fix your panels to your wall you can either use screws or grab adhesive such as No More Nails.

Floor To Celling

Taking the panels from floor to ceiling will really elongate your wall, creating a greater feeling of space. Each SlatWall Panel is 2.4m tall, making the panels ideal for creating a feature wall that commands attention. Taking the panels just past either side of your bed frame is a technique that anchors your bed within the room and creates a strong feature. Take a look at our range of feature wall panels and wooden ceiling panels.  

Top tip: If your wall is taller than 2.4m you can easily stack two panels on top of each other to create a taller panel or you can use the 3m Natural Oak SlatWall with black felt, which is perfect for taller walls.

Full Wall

Don’t be afraid to take the panels across the whole wall – this technique is a much loved one! No matter how big or small the room, a feature wall will always work. It is a simple yet effective way to add interest to your room, just how an interior designer would! Go one step further and use a bed frame without a headboard to let your SlatWall take the main stage.

Top tip: If you are wanting to achieve a minimalist look, add in a pair of simple bedside tables and keep your colour scheme muted – let the feature wall do the talking!
