I chose my Mairi Helena Summer Thistle Velvet to create a brilliantly bold headboard! This velvet is strongly inspired by the iconic Sea Holly, as well as the textural Scottish landscape and a hint of tartan plaid and watercolour. I love mixing bold dynamic colours together to create an instant uplifting glow into the room!

I'm in huge admiration of the service in which Robinsons Beds have provided me. From the provision of an image of the shape of a headboard that I admired, emerged a stunning version of my headboard design thanks to the skilful team at the Robinson Beds and their high standard of craftsmanship. Keeping in close communication of how I'd like my printed velvet to be placed across the headboard, Robinsons Beds allowed me sign off at every stage to ensure I was happy with the final result. The team even suggested bespoke stud detailing around the edges for a flourishing final touch!SHOW STOPPER HEAD BOARD IN MAIRI HELENA SUMMER THISTLE VELVET And here's the finished headboard in my Summer Thistle Velvet, what do you think?Pair with a vibrant throw and cushions (spotted here in Mairi Helena Summer Thistle Velvet  )  and Mairi Helena Summer Thistle Velvet Feather Cushions.CLOSING IN ON THE DETAILS The headboard has been given a perfect finish with the addition of Antique Brass Studs.
