The Custom-made wooden headboards in Pontevedra They are the happy ending to a bedroom: the piece that connects the bed to the wall, withstands Sunday breakfast, and gives character to the room without taking up a single usable centimeter. And yet, they are the piece of furniture most mistreated by standard sizes.
At JpDescanso, we manufacture solid wood headboards made to the exact dimensions of your bed and wall: any width, any height, any finish you choose. Don't settle for what's available in stores; we offer direct pricing from the workshop that makes them.
This guide covers the types of headboards we make, how to choose sizes and height, the available finishes, and how a custom headboard integrates with a bed frame and storage bed. bedside tables to match.
What is the purpose of a good headboard?
A headboard performs three functions at once: it protects the wall from scuffs and stains, insulates the head from the cold wall, and defines the style of the bedroom. With solid wood, it also adds a fourth: the feeling of a solid piece of furniture that upholstery imitates but never quite achieves.
The problem arises with the measurements. Walls don't ask manufacturers for directions: there are gaps of 138 cm between two wardrobes, hand-forged 155 cm beds, and attics with sloping ceilings. In these situations, a standard 150 or 160 cm headboard sticks out on one side and falls short on the other. The custom-made wooden headboards we manufacture in Pontevedra exist precisely for this reason: so that the furniture adapts to the house, and not the other way around.
Types of wooden headboards we manufacture
Within the headboard catalog We work on several lines:
- Exposed wooden headboardSolid board with straight or molded edges, in oak or lacquered finish. A classic that ages well.
- Custom-made headboard from wall to wallIt covers the entire width of the room, integrates floating bedside tables if requested, and transforms the headboard into a complete piece of furniture.
- Low headboard: discreet, for beds with decorative pillows and low ceilings.
- High headboard with moldings: protagonist, for spacious bedrooms.
Since everything is cut in the workshop, the details—edges, grooves, panel divisions—are tailored to the project. A custom-made wooden headboard is, ultimately, a small carpentry commission with bed measurements.
Measurements and height of custom-made wooden headboards in Pontevedra
The width of the headboard depends on the bed and the plan:
- Width = bed: minimum option, the headboard just covers the mattress and the couch.
- Width = bed + bedside tablesThe whole is read as a single piece.
- Width = full wall: the most requested lately; it integrates everything and gains storage if modules are ordered.
The height is chosen based on how you use the bed: for reading while leaning back, the top edge should be about 30-40 cm higher than the pillows; for a lighter look, a low headboard of 40-50 cm in total is ideal. For sloping ceilings, we manufacture with an adapted top cut.
A practical rule we give in the workshop: the total height of the bed (legs + bed frame or divan + mattress) determines where the headboard begins; from there, we add whatever height you want. That's why it's best to order custom-made wooden headboards in Pontevedra along with the rest of the set: the measurements will fit together perfectly.
Finishes and combination with the bedroom
Four finishes ranging from oak tones to lacquered, each piece individually treated with sealed edges. If you bring a sample or photo of your bedroom, we'll compare it in our workshop and find the closest possible match.
Solid wood offers a nuance that particleboard doesn't: a continuous grain and a tone that subtly shifts with the light. Many customers come looking for precisely that: a headboard that looks like a piece of furniture, not just an accessory.

Headboard, sofa and matching bedside tables
The complete order—fold-up sofa bed, slatted base, headboard, and bedside tables—is our specialty: same batch of wood, same finish, coordinated measurements. bedside tables with 3 drawers They are manufactured to the height of the finished bed, and the headboard is screwed to the bed frame or the wall as appropriate.
You can also start in stages: first the headboard, and the rest when it's time to renovate. The important thing is to include the measurements in the estimate so that the next order fits perfectly.
Installation and assembly
The headboards are delivered with the necessary fixings: wall plugs or screws for attaching to the bed frame. For deliveries in Pontevedra and the surrounding area, we will install it for you; for shipments to the rest of Spain and Europe, we provide clear instructions and the correct screws, so there are no surprises.
Installing a wooden headboard is straightforward, but weight is a factor: a large, solid piece is best installed by two people. If the wall is drywall, this should be noted in the quote and secured with special fixings.
Headboard and bedroom style
The headboard frames the bed and sets the tone for the entire bedroom. With solid wood, there are three clear options:
- Natural: visible grain and water-based finish; for bright bedrooms and light-colored furniture.
- Warm oakThe most requested one, it combines with raw textiles and painted walls.
- Lacquered: smooth surface and flat color, for more contemporary environments.
Beyond the finish, geometry alone creates style: a wall-to-wall headboard with vertical moldings brings order to the bedroom; a low, straight one makes it feel more Zen. Custom-made wooden headboards in Pontevedra allow for this level of detail because every cut is decided with you, instead of simply following the proportions of a catalog.
Another effect you don't expect until you experience it: a solid headboard changes the acoustics of the room. The wood absorbs some of the echo, making the bedroom sound more spacious, especially in newer apartments with hard floors.
If the bedroom has a window or door very close to the headboard, tell us when you order: the design adapts (staggered heights, corner cut) and the result still looks well thought out, because it was.
