Two twin beds pushed together equals a king-size bed (\u201csuper king\u201d by UK standards). With that simple equation in mind, Harriet Churchward and Matt Pescod of The Quist\u2014see The King of Treehouse Hotels in the UK\u2014came up with a clever headboard that allows them to offer guests an inviting bedroom with either two twins or a king-size bed.<\/p>\n

The secret to the design? A pair of upholstered headboards are suspended on a wood hanging pole, and can, like the mattresses, either be pushed together or apart. Take a look.<\/p>\n

Above: The hanging headboard idea was introduced in a mood board created by Sophie Rowell of C\u00f4te de Folk, who consulted on the design of The Quist\u2019s other bedroom, the top-floor Tent Room (see it here). \u201cWe went in a different direction in that room,\u201d says Harriet, \u201cbut I found this to be a great solution for a bed that needed to be convertible from twin to super king.\u201d

Above: The familiar hanging headboards are modeled after old-fashioned leather gym mats. Harriet felt all leather would be \u201ctoo chilly for bedtime,\u201d especially paired with the room\u2019s thatched ceiling, and decided to add color by using Upholstery Denim procured online from The Cloth Shop. The headboards were made to Harriet\u2019s specs by Shane Allard Upholstery. The striped coverlets are from Australian line Society of Wanderers. \u201cSet up as twins, the beds are waiting for a couple of young adventurers to jump into them at the end of the day,\u201d says Harriet.,

Above: The headboards are designed to hang flat and slide easily: Matt hung them on a dowel incorporated into an overhead shelf he built. Realizing that leather hanging loops (made from The Quist\u2019s dining nook cushion leftovers) wouldn\u2019t support the headboards on their own\u2014they\u2019d stretch\u2014Harriet had her upholsterer reinforce them on the inside with webbing material: \u201cthere\u2019s a bit of physics to ensuring the headboards stay in position.\u201d <\/p>\n

Note that Harriet sized the headboards \u201chigh rather than wide\u201d to leave room for wall-mounted bedside lights: Original BTC\u2019s Hector Pleat sconces.<\/p>\n


Above: The finishing detail: piping made from The Cloth Shop\u2019s Embroidered Cotton, also used as blinds (see above), adds \u201ca folksy touch.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Quist is located in Herefordshire, England, on the grounds of an 800-acre historic estate. For a tour, see our post: The UK\u2019s Top Treehouse Hotel.<\/p>\n
