Bedroom Makeover on a Budget - Headboards, Bedside Tables and Storage That Transform a Room

The fastest way to make a bedroom feel brand new isn't paint or new floors - it's the bed itself. A proper headboard anchors the whole room, and matching storage pieces finish the job. Here are the pieces our customers keep buying from the bedroom furniture range, and how to pull the look together.

Start With a Headboard - The Room's Anchor

A bare bed against a wall always looks unfinished. A headboard fixes that instantly, and it's a fraction of the cost of a new bed frame.

The Classic: Fabric Upholstered Headboards

The Artiss CAPPI fabric headboard in charcoal ($173.34, double) is our best-seller for a reason - the tufted linen-look fabric works with almost any colour scheme, from crisp white bedding to moody dark tones. It also comes in queen size grey ($178.43) for lighter, coastal-style rooms.

The Trend Pick: Rattan Bedheads

Rattan is everywhere in 2026 interiors, and the Artiss MARI rattan bedhead in pine ($140.93) nails the look - natural woven cane in a solid pine frame that suits boho, coastal and Japandi styles alike.

Add Matching Bedside Tables

Symmetry makes bedrooms feel designed rather than assembled. The Artiss 2x Bedside Table 2 Drawers in black ($157.43 for the pair) gives you two matching tables with real drawer storage for under $160 - less than many single tables elsewhere.

Solve Storage With a Chest of Drawers

Clutter kills the calm-bedroom vibe. The Artiss VEDA 6 Chest of Drawers in black ($191.93) swallows clothes, linen and everything that used to live on "the chair". Six deep drawers in a clean, handle-free design that pairs perfectly with the bedside tables above.

Don't Forget the Mattress

If your mattress is older than your phone plan, no headboard will fix your sleep. The Giselle 35cm Queen Mattress with bamboo pocket spring and firm foam ($395.93) is one of our top-selling queen mattresses - a hotel-height 35cm profile with pocket springs for support and a bamboo-blend cover that sleeps cool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Artiss headboards fit any bed base?

Yes - these are freestanding/bolt-on style headboards designed to work with standard ensemble bases and bed frames in the matching size (double headboard for double beds, and so on).

How high should a headboard be?

As a rule of thumb, the top of the headboard should sit at least 60-70cm above the mattress so it stays visible behind your pillows. Both the CAPPI and MARI designs are sized with this in mind.

Can I mix rattan with black furniture?

Absolutely - natural rattan texture against matte black case goods is one of the easiest designer looks to pull off.
