DIY headboard


This is one of the easiest & inexpensive items you can make yourself to uplift and change a bedroom! I just love these upholstered headboards and cannot wait to make my own one.

All you need is a sheet of press wood, foam, good quality upholstery material, buttons, staple gun, pair of scissors, paper, pencil and a ruler.

If the room is quite small, it is best to elevate the headboard to create height in the room. It is also a nice feature & showpiece in the room when it is quite high, so do not be scared of playing with it! Use a colour for the headboard that will not overwhelm the space and rather play with colour when choosing bed linen. A nice colour to use for the headboard would be ash grey or ivory white.

TIP: Add some bedside lights that will compliment the high headboard. So one of my favourite ideas is to hang bedside tables from the ceiling above bedside table, instead of using standing bedside lamps. This also creates more space on your bedside table for books, clocks and some flowers!
