Wall Panels
Create a distinctive backdrop for your bed with upholstered wall panels from Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham, serving Gloucestershire with UK-wide delivery.
Fabric panelling adds colour, texture and a sense of proportion to the bedroom, whether you choose a compact arrangement behind the headboard or a broader feature across the wall. Explore panel styles that complement your bed and bring the surrounding furniture and lighting into one considered scheme.
Plan the width and height of the finished arrangement before choosing quantities, allowing for sockets, switches and nearby fittings. Compare available upholstery samples and check the installation method for the chosen panels and wall construction. Our Cheltenham team can help you explore coordinating fabrics and confirm product dimensions, so the finished feature reflects your style and the practical details are understood before fitting.
BUYING GUIDE
Add texture and a focal point with upholstered panels
Consider the panel layout, the fabric finish and how the arrangement relates to your bed.
A repeated panel pattern can frame the bed, while a larger upholstered area creates a stronger feature. Decorative panels should not be treated as a substitute for a specified acoustic system or assumed to provide tested soundproofing.
How far up the wall?
Behind the bed only is the most common and the least commitment. It works as an oversized headboard and costs a fraction of a full wall.
Half height runs the panels to about waist level across the whole wall, with paint above. Traditional, and it suits a room with a picture rail.
Full height is the boldest and needs a room with the ceiling height to carry it. In a low room it can close the space in.
Matching the headboard
Ask our team to compare the available fabrics for your panels and headboard. We can check coordinating options and explain any colour-matching limitations before you choose.
Ordered separately, months apart, the same named colour can arrive visibly different. On a wall directly behind a headboard, a near match is far more obvious than it would be anywhere else in the room.
Fitting
Panels fix to the wall and the method depends on your wall type. Plasterboard, solid brick and a chimney breast all need different fixings, and a large panel needs the right anchors rather than whatever came in the box.
Ask us about fitting when you order rather than working it out on the day.
Can I match panels to my headboard?
Share your headboard design and fabric choice with Heavenly Beds in Cheltenham so we can check compatible upholstery options for the panels. Compare samples in your bedroom's light before choosing. Where an exact colour match matters, confirm the available arrangements before ordering rather than relying on the same fabric name alone.
How are they fixed to the wall?
Follow the selected panel system's installation instructions and use a fixing method suitable for the wall. Confirm supplied components, panel weight and surface preparation before fitting. Measure the planned layout around sockets and switches, and seek competent installation advice for difficult surfaces rather than assuming a standard adhesive will hold every panel.
Can they be removed later?
Check how the chosen system is attached before planning to move or remove it. Adhesives and mechanical fixings can leave marks or require wall repairs, and some panels may not be reusable after removal. Follow the manufacturer's removal guidance and discuss a removable arrangement before ordering when that flexibility is important.
Will upholstered wall panels block noise from the next room?
Decorative upholstered panels should not be bought as a guaranteed solution to noise travelling through walls. Any acoustic claim needs testing for the particular product and installation. Choose these panels for their appearance and texture, and seek specialist advice where reducing noise from adjoining rooms is the main purpose of the project.
