It’s not every day you stop and think about the top edge of your bed. Most of us are too busy fussing over the best mattresses, cosy duvets, and stylish cushions. But here’s the thing: the headboard collar – the trim, ruffle, or wooden frame at the very top of your headboard – is the unsung hero of bedroom design. Often overlooked, it’s a detail that can take a bed from pretty to perfection.
So, what is a headboard collar exactly? Think of it as the finishing flourish on your bed, rather like a literal collar on your clothes or necklace that you've put on to add impact to an outfit.
