The Rattan Headboard: Bold, Eclectic, and Full of Character

Our Rattan Headboard adds a vibrant, yet natural texture to any bedroom due to its painted check design. It’s a great focal point for those who want an eclectic feel and the woven details create a relaxed, laid-back vibe, while still adding warmth and character. Available in two colourways, green or blue, this headboard is also in three different sizes, making it easy to chose the best one for your interior. Here’s how to style it for maximum impact:

Layer with colourful and Patterned Bedding

For a bold statement, choose Piglet In Bed’s patterned or solid-colour bedding in rich tones like olive green, mustard yellow, or rust. These colours not only complement the natural tones of the rattan but add a vibrant contrast for a striking, layered look.

Mix Textures for Extra Warmth

To enhance the cosy appeal, add textured throws and cushions in fabrics like velvet or linen. A mix of textures, such as a linen duvet with velvet cushions, like our Remolino design, and a wool throw, adds depth and richness to your bedding. We love the Stripey Throw from our collaboration capsule with Sarah Corbett-Winder. Piglet In Bed's bundle builder is perfect for mixing and matching hues and textures to create a personalised bedding set effortlessly.

Ground the Space with Earthy Accents

To tie in the organic feel of the rattan, use earthy accents such as jute rugs, our Seema Raffia Lampshades, or wooden side tables, like our Pavilion pieces. These elements create a cohesive, nature-inspired setting that makes the room feel grounded and harmonious.

The Pavilion Headboard: Classic Elegance with a Modern Twist

With its soft cane detailing and elegant carved accents, the Pavilion Headboard brings a balanced, serene look to any bedroom. This stunning headboard is available in three sizes, and three colours - taupe, green or blue. Here’s how to style it to bring out its full potential.

Opt for a Cohesive colour Palette

The Pavilion Headboard looks best when surrounded by a calm, cohesive colour palette. Piglet In Bed's bedding in soft neutrals, such as sage green, blush pink, or gentle cream tones, creates a restful ambiance that complements the headboard’s subtle texture and classic look.

Layer with Subtle Prints and Textures

For a more layered look, pair neutral bedding with a few printed elements. A Suzani Throw or Crochet Throw in coordinating tones or a Quilted Sqaures Bedspread with subtle embroidered detailing adds visual interest without overwhelming the headboard’s natural beauty. The idea is to create depth while maintaining a soft, understated appeal.

Add Elegant Accessories for a Polished Finish

To complete the look, incorporate elegant accessories that mirror the headboard’s refined details. A scalloped lampshade such as our Finestra or Calcada design, patterned cushions, and a textured Varuna rug in complementary colours will enhance the Pavilion Headboard’s style, making the room feel both cocooning and sophisticated.

Key Styling Tips for Both Headboards

Regardless of which headboard you choose, a few universal styling tips can help create a tranquil, inviting space:

Experiment with Pillow Heights and Sizes

Start with larger pillows in neutral tones against the headboard, and layer smaller, decorative pillows in complementary colours and textures in front. This adds height and a sense of fullness to the bed.

Choose a Luxurious Throw

Drape a soft throw across the foot of the bed. A wool or cotton throw adds warmth and a finishing touch to the layered bedding look.

Incorporate Natural Elements

Bringing in plants, wooden side tables, or even floral-patterned bedding can add a fresh, organic feel to the room, enhancing both the Rattan and Pavilion headboards' natural textures.

If in doubt - Fresh White is the Way!

Pairing the headboard with fresh white bedding creates an effortlessly clean and timeless look. You could weave a tiny amount of colour into your scheme through embroidered or cutwork details, like our Aravali Bedspread. Keeping to a limited colour palette anchored to your headboard and other home decor, accessories or art will help maintain balance.

White linens bring a sense of brightness and simplicity, allowing the headboard’s texture and shape to stand out beautifully, whatever your space or interior style. For added interest, layer with subtle off-white or ivory accents to keep the look inviting yet refined, our Bordered Throw in Taupe would be the perfect seasonal companion for extra warmth.
