15 Fantastic DIY Headboards – How To Revamp a Bedroom

When it comes to making home decor pieces, the bedroom might actually be our favourite place to make things for. There’s just something so calming and homey about making custom pieces for the place where you spend your most relaxed hours of the day, since it’s such an important part of your house. That’s why, when we decided it was time for a new headboard recently, we came to the conclusion that we’d rather make a headboard ourselves rather than buying one. We’ve been scrolling through options for DIY headboards all over the Internet ever since!

1. Custom painted, antique thrift headboard

Perhaps you’ve actually inherited or come across a very old or maybe even vintage headboard recently and you’re feeling intent on using it but you think it needs some kind of sprucing up or customization to suit your space properly? In that case, we’d absolutely suggest taking a look at the way Architectural Digest custom painted theirs! Their tutorial and outline offers you all kinds of tips and tricks for making something similar of your own.

2. Fabric covered, extra-wide headboard

Perhaps you’re not convinced that an all wooden headboard would really suit your space so you’ve been considering something like tufting and other fabric based concepts? In that case, we think you’ll really appreciate the way Fabric, Paper, Glue created this headboard with panels that’s extra wide and covered entirely in fabric except for the outer frame!

3. Hand painted, string hung fabric headboard

Just because you want to add a piece behind your bead in order to make it look more finished and tie the room together doesn’t mean you have to build yourself a hard or wooden headboard that will stand structured behind your pillows! Just in case you’re feeling a little more soft and artsy, here’s an idea from The Finders Keepers that involves stringing up some hand painted fabric in place of a classic headboard for a wonderfully visually DIY effect!

4. Paper flowers headboard

Have some of your very favourite ideas so far been the ones that involved hanging fabric in the place of a headboard, rather than creating something hard and structured, but you’re just not sure that hand painting material is quite the right choice for you? Well, particularly if you’ve got a stunning old handmade quilt that runs in the family, we think you might get along a little better with something like this tutorial from Martha Stewart that shows you how to make a blanket headboard hung from a wall mounted curtain rod!

9. DIY Curtain rod and fabric headboard canopy

Have we really piqued your interested with the concept of hanging fabric in the place of headboards now, but you can’t help wondering whether something slightly more grand looking might suit your space more than simply looping a quilt over a bar behind the bed? In that case, we think you might prefer the way Design Sponge made a beautiful fabric canopy in place of a headboard, looping it over two curtain rods hung strategically!

10. Built-in fireplace wall moulding headboard

Did we actually really catch your attention when we started talking about using pieces of a fireplace in place of a headboard, but you’d almost prefer to blend the piece into the rest of the wall for continuity rather than placing an entire mantel behind your pillows? In that case, we think you simply must take a look at the way Design Sponge made their headboard piece from the kind of fireplace framing made of crown moulding!

11. IKEA hacked stikwood headboard

What if, while you’ve been scrolling, you’ve come to the realization that a slightly more classic wooden headboard is actually what you’d like to make for yourself, but you want it to have an air of being homemade about it because your space is already quite rustic and DIY?
