Shape a home with Ylse

A headboard has the ability to shape a room in a way that few other pieces of furniture can. It creates structure, softness and a natural focal point. Upholstered in the right fabric, it ties the whole room together and sets the tone for the entire bedroom.

 

But it rarely stops at the bedroom door. At Ylse, we create handmade headboards, bed valances, bedspreads, cushions, bolster pillows, seating cushions, bed benches and ottomans in carefully selected fabrics. This is a home where that shows.

The Headboard That Sets the Character of the Whole Room

The bedroom is centred around a Cotswolds headboard in ticking stripe. It is one of our most-ordered combinations, and it is easy to understand why. Stripes in green and cream tones give the bedroom a warm, timeless character without overpowering it.

 

The bed valance and bedspread are chosen to complement the headboard, not copy it. Botanical motifs in the cushions and bolster introduce a different pattern language within the same colour family. That is the kind of pattern mixing that works: different character, shared tone.

 

The Children's Room Deserves the Same Considered Choices

Ylse loves children. In fact, our very first edit, Kids Corner, was created with them in mind. The children's room is a space one spends a great deal of time in — for sleep, play and everything in between. We want every detail in the children's room to tell a story.

The Cotswolds headboard in this children's room is upholstered in a playful botanical print with softer, more lighthearted colours. The ottoman by the window and the bolster cushion are chosen to connect with the headboard and create a thread through the room. The bed valance and bedspread add texture and layers without making the room feel heavy.

 

Children's rooms don't need to be simple to be child-friendly. On the contrary: a well-considered children's room with the right textiles and details creates an environment children genuinely enjoy being in.

 

A Welcoming Guest Room Doesn't Require Grand Gestures

The guest room doesn't need to be the most expressive room in the home. But it should never feel like a room no thought has gone into.

 

The bed valance and bedspread in soft, natural tones create a calm and welcoming bedroom. Cushions in coordinating fabrics add the final layer of detail. It is often the considered textile choices in the simpler rooms that guests remember most.

 

The Hallway Sets the Mood Before You've Even Taken Off Your Coat

The hallway is the room one spends the least time furnishing and the first room every visitor sees. In this home, the hallway has been given more presence: a handmade seat cushion in a graphic print and a bolster cushion that adds texture and colour.

 

The hallway doesn't need to be stripped back simply because it is a passageway. A considered fabric choice can make a significant difference to a home's first impression, and a bolder pattern often works better in the hallway than in rooms where you spend long periods of time.

The Right Textiles Turn a Kitchen Corner Into a Place to Linger

The kitchen corner in this home is upholstered with handmade seating cushions and cushions. It is a choice that does more for the kitchen's feeling than one might expect. A well-upholstered kitchen bench invites longer conversations and more time spent at the table.

 

The fabric on the cushions is chosen to connect with the rest of the home's textile choices without being identical. That kind of recurring thread — a shared tone or a related pattern language, is what makes a home feel coherent rather than simply decorated room by room.

 

At Ylse, We Believe the Most Beautiful Homes Reflect the People Who Live in Them

This home has a warm, earthy palette with green, cream and terracotta-inspired tones. But Ylse works equally with bold colours, strong patterns and more pronounced contrasts. We believe in "more is more" and that every home deserves its own expression.

At Ylse, we believe the most beautiful homes are those that reflect the people who live in them. From our atelier in Stockholm, we create handmade headboards, bed valances, bedspreads, cushions, bolster pillows, seating cushions, bed benches, ottomans and upholstered furniture in carefully selected fabrics — always with a focus on craftsmanship, personality and timeless design.

One of our most-ordered: Cotswolds in Casamance Evora Green. Varied green stripes on a light ground, with piping along the edge that accentuates the silhouette and gives the unmistakably bespoke finish that is always Ylse's signature.Cotswolds Casamance   |  from 9,799SEK

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ylse's four models?

 

Cotswolds is our most-ordered model and has an elegant, softly arched silhouette inspired by British tradition. Mayfair is the timeless classic, warm and universally loved. Provence has a more distinctive and expressive form for those who want a clearer design statement. Österlen is the minimalist model with a straight silhouette and Scandinavian simplicity.

Can the headboard, bed valance and bedspread be ordered in the same fabric?

Yes. The headboard, bed valance, bedspread, cushions, bolster pillows, seating cushion, bed benches and ottoman can all be ordered in the same fabric or in coordinating fabrics from Ylse's collections. This makes it possible to create a home with a coherent feeling, room by room.

Does Ylse make textiles for children's rooms?

Absolutely. Our Kids Corner edit was created specifically with children's rooms in mind and includes fabrics from Jane Churchill, Ian Mankin and Studio by Marvic. We create textiles for every room in the home with the same care for fabric, proportion and craftsmanship.

How does one choose a fabric for a headboard?

Begin with a feeling for the room you want to create. Order fabric samples, try them at home. The fabric you keep returning to is usually the right one. At Ylse, we also help you find the right choice through our edits and by a meeting in online or in our showroom at Karlavägen 42 with our design experts.

How does an order work at Ylse?

Everything begins with a conversation about the room, its function and your sense of what you want to achieve. From there, we help you choose fabric, model, piping and final details — then we create everything by hand in our atelier at Frihamnen in Stockholm.
