A beautiful headboard for your bedroom can get costly. Find ways to reuse items or make your own headboard to create the luxury look without the price.
Decal Dreams
A decal is one budget-friendly way to add style to the head of your bed. RMS user dodi used the decal as inspiration for the room’s design.
Low-Cost Luan
Designer Kara Paslay made this headboard from a thin piece of stained luan for this small bedroom. She adorned the luan with spray-painted painter’s tape in a geometric motif. The look is great for dorm rooms or guest bedrooms.
Whimsical Silhouette
A do-it-yourself headboard is the best way to get a one-of-a-kind look without the cost. Designer Maureen Toribio used some wood, chalkboard paint, primer and a handmade stencil to create this whimsical headboard. The silhouette adds a youthful touch and the chalkboard allows for fun and creativity. Silhouette image courtesy of Susie Harrington of Petite Prints.
A Little Corkiness
What better way to display your child’s art than a corkboard? Cork is a versatile material that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Designer Kara Paslay recommends using cork flooring material because it is less costly than buying cork tiles.
Behind Closed Doors
RMS user fleamarkettrixie loves to reuse items she has around the house. She used old closet doors and a settee to make this truely vintage headboard.
