DIY a Headboard

Jessie Ruane

While beautiful, fabric-covered headboards can be expensive.

If you’re handy, it’s worthwhile tomake your own to save money.

Painting one directly behind your bed creates a faux headboard effect, as seen here.

You’ll feel like you’ve introduced a different piece into the room.

This creates the effect of wallpaper yet can easily be painted over should your style change.

This small wooden one adds a welcome pop of color to this all-white bedroom.

Place them in cute pots that complement your aesthetic.

Here, a vase of tall grass adds a textural element next to the bed.

As a bonus, the top ledge of this wall is the perfect spot to display some leaning art.
