Bespoke Headboards, Made to Order in Dubai
A bespoke headboard begins with the room, not a catalogue. Ceiling height, bed width, fabric direction, silhouette preference, all of it feeds into a commission that produces the exact headboard the room requires. No approximation. No standard size adapted to fit. Saint Objets designs and produces bespoke headboards in Dubai: wavy, curved, straight, tufted, piped, or plain.
What bespoke means for a headboard
A bespoke headboard commission specifies every variable: width (to the millimetre, not to the nearest standard size), height (matched to the ceiling and the room proportion), silhouette (wave frequency and amplitude for wavy forms, radius for curved forms), fabric category and colourway, and any surface detail, tufting, piping, channel-quilting. The resulting piece is built to that brief, not adapted from a standard.
Silhouettes available on bespoke commission
- Wavy / Ondine, the studio's signature wave profile. Amplitude and frequency specified per commission. Three to seven waves across a standard king width.
- Curved arc, single smooth arc, top profile only. Classic bedroom focal point.
- Straight with piping or channel detail, architectural, precise. Suited to contemporary and minimalist bedroom schemes.
- Floor-to-ceiling panel, full-height commission. Structural substrate and wall-mount system specified for UAE residential construction.
- Split / two-panel, for modular bedroom configurations or beds without a shared headboard position.
Fabrics
- Performance velvet, European velvet, high pile density, colour-fast. Most commissioned fabric for UAE master bedrooms.
- Bouclé, textured loop weave. Contemporary profile, particularly suited to primary suites with a minimal surrounding scheme.
- Refined vegan leather, European-sourced, wipe-clean. Suited to rooms with children or pet access.
- Belgian linen, available on request for natural-fibre commissions.
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified options available.

Frequently asked questions
What is the structural difference between a bespoke and standard headboard?
A Saint Objets bespoke headboard uses a formed plywood or solid timber internal substrate, not foam-on-MDF. The form holds permanently. No softening, no warping, no change in silhouette over years. For wavy and curved forms this is the critical difference: the wave profile is structurally held, not surface-impressed into foam.
Can I specify a silhouette that is not in your catalogue?
Yes. Bespoke commissions begin with the brief, not the catalogue. If the room requires a specific profile, the studio draws it before production. Send a sketch or reference image and the dimensions.
How is a bespoke headboard mounted?
Via a recessed French cleat system, no visible fixings. The headboard sits flush or slightly proud of the wall. Wall plug type (drywall or concrete) confirmed during the brief for UAE residential construction. Floor-standing options available for rooms where wall-mounting is not possible.
Can the bespoke headboard be used as a room divider?
Yes, with a specific substrate and free-standing base commission. Floor-to-ceiling panels with a structural base are available. The studio advises on weight and stability requirements.
What if my room changes before the headboard is delivered?
Minor dimension adjustments within the first 5 working days of production can be accommodated. After that, a change constitutes a new commission. Dimensions and silhouette are confirmed and signed off before production begins.
