Finding the right chair...


Whether it be for your bedroom, lounge room or study we know an armchair is an important piece of furniture in any room. So finding the right chair to suits your needs can be tricky. At Bedhead Design we can help you find- design your perfect chair.
We custom make chairs in any size, shape and in any fabric. We can make a design from a drawing, photo, magazine or even design you one from scratch. Custom made in Sydney we ensure your chair is of the highest quality and built to last.  Below are a few designs we have made for clients over the years…
The Esquire armchair looks fantastic with our Mirrabelle bed head or our Issabella upholstered headboard
Custom made Esquire  bedroom chair from Bedhead Design designed to match our Issabella headboard
custom made to order in Sydney this Esquire chair is upholstered in 100% Belgium Linen
The Esquire chair is one of our best sellers. It is modern, simple and has clean lines that wont date. More as a feature chair than a mushy comfortable chair. It will dress up a bedroom and show case a beautiful fabric. The upholstered back and seat is dense padding so it is a firm and sleek design. The Esquire chair looks fabulous with our Issabella and Mirrabelle bedhead design as well as our Lord John wing back bed head. The buttoning on those headboards mimic that of the Esquire chair.

Like all our custom made chairs they are available in any fabric you like and any shape or colour legs. Some of our clients have also added arms so it is easier to get out of. 
The Esquire chair is perfect for the bedroom or lounge room, elegant and simple it will suit most styles of decorating.


If you are looking for something more comfortable and classic we suggest the Napoleon or one of our Bergere chairs.







The Napoleon armchair is a beautiful design, leaning towards more of a classic feel with the deep diamond buttoned detail. The Napoleon is perfect to snuggle up in and read a book, it is big and has padded arms for extra comfort. Great as a bedroom chair or in the lounge room for the whole family to enjoy. The Napoleon chair looks beautiful in sit-you with our Lilly deep diamond buttoned upholstered headboard or our Lilly wing back bedhead, both creature the elegant deep diamond buttoning detail.

The Bergere chair is timeless, a classic design that will never date. Available with polished frame or with a custom painted finish. The seat is a foam cushion with feather wrap to make a very comfortable mushy seat. The reason we use a foam core with the feather is so you wont need to continue fluffing up the feathers it will remain looking plump always.
Hand painted special finish on our bergere frame




The our bergere arm chairs have exquisite detail with its hand carved European beech frame.  Available with a custom hand painted finish or polished as seen in the matching footstool below.

Polished European beech is a stunning finish, it shows the natural beauty and colour of the hand carved frame.




Removable loose cover
Our clients come to us often with photos or magazine clippings of chairs they love and we replicate them in our clients choice of fabric and to their own specifications.


 Some designs we make are pictured below. All can have custom loose covers which are very practical and popular.
Small bedroom chair


This round tub chair has a removable loose cover as seen in the image above. Easily removed the loose cover is so practical especially for kids and pets.
Our traditional wing back armchair has been around for years and will remain a classic and timeless chair for years to come. Its big arms and wings make it look so inviting. Easy to get in and out of it is popular for people with back pain, we can also customise it so the measurements suit your height. The wing back armchair is the chair which inspired our Chloe wing back bed head and our Lord John wing back headboard.

We have had a huge demand for curtains and blinds lately which is very refreshing as we saw the shutter craze over the past few years. Shutters are lovely but they don’t block out the sun completely, they are cold in winter, they do not block out sound and they are a little boring when compared to a beautiful curtain. Curtains dress a window in a way a shutter never could compete. It gives your home a warm, elegant and luxurious layer of detail. Curtains can become very expensive however in a bedroom we feel they are a necessity. Leify has just done a heavy Elliott Clarke Belgium linen curtain in her bedroom with a contrast chocolate brown bottom boarder- and boy do they look luxurious! We will post some pictures soon.
The Lilly padded headboard along with many other bed head designs can be seen such as the Mirrabelle bed head, the Rosemary loose cover headboard as well as the Esquire bedroom chair.
We still have some SALE padded bedheads left if you are looking for a good quality ready made bedhead at a special price.


We would love to welcome you all to visit our new showroom to talk bedheads, bedrooms, curtains, and everything to do with decorating your perfect home.

The Blue Room



Good morning Bedhead Designers,

Today we want to show you some beautiful images of a bedroom in Palm Beach we did for a client. Being a waterfront blue was the colour we went with, navy and white was fresh and suited the beachy but elegant feel of the house. We needed to compliment the carpet not fight with it so navy was a perfect colour option rather than an aqua or pale blue. Our client wanted to create a wow factor in their small guest bedroom, she wasn't afraid to use pattern and make the room a real statement. We had such fun putting it together and it looked stunning when it was finished.
Bedhead Design can make any bedroom item custom made to suit the bedroom.
Beautiful blue bedroom with coordinating patterned fabrics to create a layer of detail.
Adding a upholstered bedhead and co ordinating cushions makes a bedroom look tailored and designed.
Custom made end of bed stool, end of bed throw, bed valance, cushions and upholstered bedhead from Bedhead Design.
We started with an upholstered headboard then built around it, we chose the Iskia bedhead and made it 1300h so as it could fit under the window. We selected a gorgeous linen Westbury print for the padded headboard to make it a feature in the room. We used linen stripes for the blind and curtains to get a soft floey Ralph Lauren look. We decided to paint the wall behind the headboard navy blue to make it a feature in the room and help the beautiful bedhead fabric to stand out.
Westbury had a beautiful story to co ordinate with the padded bedhead fabric which made life easy and our client loved it all.  We introduced the co ordinating fabric on the custom end of bed stool, it was another linen fabric but this time with a more of a floral pattern as opposed to the geometric shape of the fabric used on the bed head. We carried the fabric into the custom cushions introducing euros, rectangular cushions and small decorative cushion.

Bedhead Design can custom made any bedroom furniture from padded bedheads to end of bed stools, cushions, curtains, valances, bedroom chairs and bedside tables.
Custom end of bed throw with navy trim to match bed valance with the same navy boarder. Also co ordinated withe the custom bed cushions and bedroom chair.
We also did an end of bed throw to match the bed head in the same fabric with a navy trim boarder. The bed valance was white with the same navy trim and more cushions were custom made to match. To finish the look we made a custom bedroom chair upholstered in white fabric with contrast blue piping the same fabrics as the bed valance and bed cushions.

It was a lovely job to do with a beautiful outside setting looking over the water. The room was not huge so it was a risk to add so much pattern, however the one colour being blue made it work and the layering of pattern was a lovely detailed look.
We hope you like 'the blue room' as much as we do.

The end of bed stool was the final finishing touch with made the bed look tailored and finished.
Custom made end of bed stool upholstered in the floral patterned Westbury linen fabric, to coordinate with the upholstered headboard.
The bedroom chair is a simple and pretty addition to the bedroom, it matches the bedhead, valance, cushions, throw and curtains in a very simple yet elegant way.
Custom painted and upholstered bedroom chair, painted to match antique chest of draws and upholstered in the same fabrics used on the bed valance and bed cushions as well as the blue trim on the end of bed throw. The chair has a lovely cushion to tie it back to the upholstered bed head and end of bed throw.


The bedroom creates a wow factor and is certainly not boring. The custom made bedhead is co ordinated with the whole bedroom creating a styled and elegant look.
The beautiful 'Blue room' is even more beautiful in person, it is great to see people are becoming more and more confident in using colour and pattern. Coordinating your bedhead with end of bed stool, valance and curtains achieves a very tailored and designed look in your bedroom.

Decorating your kids bedroom


Good Afternoon Bedhead Designers, 

Sorry for the lack of posts lately- here at headquarters we have been flat our with the Christmas rush starting already!!!!
If you are planning on placing a bedhead order now is the time as our cut off dates for the end of the year are creeping up fast! Can't even believe its almost a new year again! Bedhead Design website has now been up and running for 2 full years. And Judy Porter Interiors has been going for over 25 years!  Gosh how time flies, which brings us to our topic for today's blog, youth and childhood- feels like yesterday I was going off to school now I'm running a business and thinking of my own family. 

Growing up I was introduced to the interiors industry very early, I would come home from school to a beautiful antique sleigh bed then the next month my mother had re arranged and replaced my upholstered bed with another style of headboard and bed linen

I loved my forever changing bedroom and seeing such beautiful interiors growing up. Unfortunately now I see so many beautiful things I can never decide what I want in my own bedroom as there is just too many beautiful things to choose from I want it all.

I think ones childhood is a very important and special time. Your only get one childhood and I have always thought that a child should have a beautiful bedroom which feels safe, warm but above all fun which is what I grew up with! At Bedhead Design this is what we aim for!


Custom made bedhead and valance made to order at Bedhead Design. Removable loose cover.



















I found this Hello Kitty kids bedroom image online- very quirky and cute! Great idea having a Kitty head shape for a bedhead!



In our Waterloo showroom we have the best selection of fun kids fabrics for boys and girls and just love putting together beautiful kids stories to suit each child's likes. 


We make Bedheads, fully upholstered or cane, valances, cushions, bedroom chairs and end of bed storage boxes- great for toy storage, all coordinating .
We paint toy boxes, tables and chairs all to coordinate with fabrics. Wall friezes, curtains, blinds our imagination is unlimited.
The Rosemary headboard is a beautiful bedhead design and can be made with a removable loose cover which is great for kids.The end of bed storage box with padded deep diamond buttoned top is a beautiful addition to any bedroom and is great for storage.







We always start with the bedhead as we do not think a bedroom is ever complete without one.
Upholstered Bedheads can be made with removable loose covers can be laundered easily. The pink gumboot bedhead pictured here is a loose cover bedhead we did for a little girls bedroom. You can even change the loose cover fabric as your child grows older and their taste changes.
Its such fun decorating a kids room specially when the child is involved and can give there one personal touch.
