Our first category includes a round-up of the\nmost inexpensive DIY headboards. Some of\nthese can be made from materials found in your garage or self-storage\nunit<\/a>, meaning you\nnot only get the benefit of a cheap and custom piece of furniture \u2013 you also\nget to upcycle something that wasn\u2019t being used to its fullest. Win win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Hang fabric on the wall behind your pillows using decorative nails, hooks, or even a curtain or shower rod. Tailor the piece to the same width as your bed and make it as tall as you like. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Scour your garage, attic or 10×10 storage unit<\/a> for an old door, or any large other piece of wood. Cover it in a clear sealant or lacquer and attach D-ring hangers rated for the correct weight on the back to create a charmingly rustic addition to your bedroom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Paint the outline of a headboard on the wall and then fill in with whatever detail you like. While it\u2019s not technically a headboard, this solution will give you the exact look you want quickly and easily.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Higher\nPriced \u2013 but Still Budget-friendly \u2013 DIY Headboard\nIdeas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019ve got some extra dough to use on this\nproject, you\u2019re in luck. There are plenty of DIY\nheadboard ideas that require a little investment to get the full effect,\nbut still ring up far below the price of buying \u201coff the shelf.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Buy a wallpaper remainder or peel-and-stick metallic vinyl<\/a> and place it on the wall in the shape of a headboard. Go one step further \u2013 and make a big impact \u2013 by papering all the way to the ceiling. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Visit your local architectural salvage shop for creative materials that can be upcycled. Think shutters, windows, and mirror or picture frames. You might even find a headboard that\u2019s ready for a new lease on life! Either seal or paint and hang securely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Pick up an array of self-stick tiles or wall panels and attach to the wall in a pattern or at random. We love the options that have a 3D element as they add depth and interest to your DIY headboard masterpiece.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Easy\nPeasy DIY Headboard Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Nothing we discuss in this blog is going to be\nso difficult that you can\u2019t do it yourself, but some projects are easier than\nothers. We covered the \u201changing a piece of fabric\u201d option above, which is a\nfavorite for those of us who don\u2019t have a full set of tools and a workspace and\nhave a few more ideas below that will take a minimal amount of time \u2013 and have\na major impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Gather several woven, natural looking placemats or even a table runner, if you can find one, and adhere to the wall. This is one of our favorites because the pieces are easy to remove and can be packed and taken to your next home (or tucked away in a convenient self-storage unit) with ease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Hang string lights in the shape of a headboard behind your bed. Instant illumination and charm in about five minutes. What could be more rewarding?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Apply decals on the wall in the rough shape or size of a headboard. You can find a huge selection on Etsy or even have one custom-made if the inspiration really hits!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Complex\n\u2013 But Completely Doable \u2013<\/strong>DIY Headboard Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Some of the DIY headboard options we\u2019ve found\ninvolve a bit more than tacking or adhering. While none of the choices\npresented below is going to require a full workspace or general contractor\u2019s\nlicense, they will likely take at least an hour or two \u2013 and a little bit of\nplanning \u2013 to do right. If you\u2019ve got your tools safely packed away in your\nself-storage unit like many of our customers do, now\u2019s the time to bust them\nout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Build a frame in the exact size you need and cover it in foam and fabric for a professionally upholstered headboard look<\/a> \u2013 on a DIY upholstered headboard budget. Follow these instructions<\/a> on Better Homes & Gardens<\/em> to add tufts to your creation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Repurpose a horizontal bookcase<\/a> to gain extra storage and shelf space where it\u2019s most convenient \u2013 right next to your bed! Customize the design with bright paint and you\u2019ve got a completely bespoke multi-use DIY headboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Grab a 62\u201d x 36\u201d of plywood and cut out multiple circles around the edges. Sand the edges (and the entire headboard) and stain or paint it your desired shade before hanging it behind your bed. (Access full instructions here.<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
