Wall-to-wall headboards: sizes, prices and how they work
Some headboards decorate the bed. The wall-to-wall headboard decorates the room: one upholstered surface from corner to corner, with nightstands floating in front and light washing over the texture. It is the single strongest move in bedroom design right now, and it only exists made to measure.
Quick answer: a wall-to-wall headboard is built in upholstered panels sized to your exact wall, installed side by side to read as one piece. It can run floor to ceiling, carry outlets, switches and sconces, and be made in any fabric. Because every wall is different, it is always quoted per project: send the measurements and we price yours.
How it is built
The piece is engineered in panels: each one upholstered by hand, then installed in sequence so seams align with the design (channels, blocks or clean planes). Panels are how a 14-foot wall travels safely and installs cleanly, and how a single damaged section could be replaced years later without redoing the wall.
The measurements that matter
- Width: corner to corner of the wall, not the bed. The bed then centers on the composition.
- Height: the dramatic choice. Standard height (47 to 55 inches) already reads as luxury; floor to ceiling turns the wall into architecture. Our guide on headboard height helps.
- What sits in front: nightstands and sconces should be decided before production, so cut-outs and reinforcements land exactly right.
Lighting and power, planned in
This is where made to measure earns its keep: LED strips behind the top edge, sconces mounted on the panels, outlets and USB where the nightstands sit. All cut-outs come ready from the atelier, following your electrical plan, so installation day has no improvisation.
What it costs
Every project is priced by wall width, height, model and fabric. For reference, our catalog king headboards start around $1,100, and full wall projects are quoted free of charge: measure the wall, pick a direction, and request a quote or message the atelier on WhatsApp. Handcrafted in our Florida atelier in 28 days of production, delivered and installed statewide, 1-year warranty.
Designers and architects
Wall-to-wall projects are where we work closest with the trade: feasibility confirmed before quoting, panels engineered to the millimeter, wiring per the lighting plan. See our trade program.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wall-to-wall headboard?
It is an upholstered headboard built to span the entire wall behind the bed, corner to corner, often with the nightstands sitting in front of it. It turns the wall itself into the focal point, like a designer hotel suite.
How much does a wall-to-wall headboard cost?
Since it is fully made to measure, pricing depends on the wall width, height, model and fabric. As a reference, our standard king headboards start around $1,100 and custom quotes are free: send us the wall measurements and we price your exact project.
Can it go floor to ceiling?
In most models, yes. Panels can be built in sections to cover tall walls. Models with metal profiles follow technical length limits, which we confirm in the design stage.
Can outlets, switches and sconces go through it?
Yes. Cut-outs for outlets, switches and sconces come ready from the atelier, positioned exactly where your electrical plan calls for them, with wiring channels built in.
