Our Stylist Says
I love the Silentnight Merlin Strutted Headboard for its contemporary yet timeless design, making it quite versatile across various interior styles. Its neutral tone and understated detailing work particularly well in modern, Scandi, or minimalist schemes, but it can also add a soft textural element to more eclectic or traditional interiors when styled thoughtfully. For practical styling, I recommend pairing it with crisp, linen bedding and minimal accessories to let its clean lines stand out, or add plush cushions and throws for a cosy, inviting look. Its simple silhouette makes it an ideal backdrop that won’t overpower other key elements in the room, allowing you to easily update your aesthetic with seasonal accents or personalised touches.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
