If your bedroom feels a bit flat, bouclé fixes that. The looped, textured fabric adds visual interest without being loud. It is the difference between a bed that looks styled and one that just looks... fine.
What Makes Bouclé Different
Bouclé (French for "curled") is woven with loops and curls in the yarn. This creates a nubby, tactile surface that catches light differently across the fabric. Where flat fabrics can look one-dimensional, bouclé has depth.
You have probably seen bouclé on designer furniture. Those chunky armchairs that cost several thousand dollars? Usually bouclé. The fabric reads as luxurious without trying too hard.
Why Bouclé Works for Bedheads
A bedhead is the visual anchor of your bedroom. It is the first thing you see. Bouclé works here because:
Texture without pattern. If you want interest but not busy prints, bouclé delivers. The texture is subtle enough to work with any bedding.
Warmth without weight. Bouclé looks cosy and inviting, but it is not heavy or wintery. It works year-round.
Forgiving fabric. The textured surface hides minor marks and wear better than flat fabrics. Practical for something you lean against regularly.
Styling a Bouclé Bedhead
Bouclé pairs naturally with:
- Linen bedding in white, natural, or stone tones
- Raw timber bed frames or side tables
- Warm metallics like brass or aged gold
- Minimal decor that lets the texture do the talking
Avoid going overboard with other textures. One hero texture per room is usually enough. Let the bouclé be the statement, and keep surrounding elements simpler.
Choosing Your Colour
Our Bouclé Bedhead Cushion comes in three colours:
- Ivory - Creamy off-white. Bright and fresh.
- Ecru - Natural unbleached cream. Warmer, more organic.
- Umber - Warm brown earth tone. Makes a statement.
Ivory and Ecru work with almost any palette. Umber is bolder but pairs beautifully with warm neutrals and timber.
Size Guide
Match your cushion to your mattress:
| Bed Size | Cushion Size | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Double | Double | 145cm x 55cm |
| Queen | Queen | 170cm x 60cm |
| King | King | 195cm x 65cm |
The cushion should span the full width of your pillows. If in doubt, size up.
French Seam vs Relaxed Fit
Two edge styles to choose from:
French Seam has a clean, tailored finish with a visible seam line around the edges. More structured and polished.
Relaxed Fit has a softer, less structured edge. More casual and organic feeling.
Both look great. French Seam suits modern, minimal spaces. Relaxed Fit suits coastal or rustic aesthetics.
