Headboards have been on my brain lately. I already have one for our master bedroom and I made Elli one for her little twin sized bed. I’d really like to make one for Connor and for the guest room. Meh, Chloe doesn’t really need one, as she’s still in the nursery…..but soon.
But I love how they look……and they really don’t have to cost a lot. I mean, you CAN spend a fortune if that’s how you roll, but I kinda like for things to look like they may have cost some money…..but ha, they don’t!
As I was browsing around online, I found really clever and unique ideas. In case you’re on the same hunt, maybe these will help inspire you… (And if you come across any others you love, leave me the link in the comment section. I’d love to see more!)

great ideas. I need a new head board so this is great for me
Perfect! :)
Fence headboard – get a piece of fence wide enough for the bed, decorate
it, and mount it on the wall. Fencing can be purchased at a fence supplier or
Home Depot. A white picket fence headboard is very pretty. I am thinking
of doing a pink picket fence headboard for my little girl.
That would be darling too! Thanks!
Thank you so much for featuring my little girl’s tufted headboard. You have a great round up here!
You’re welcome Amy……it’s beautiful! :)
all look pretty good! Got me thinking now..
There are really some great ideas here!
I’m definitely wanting to make a headboard and have found two tufted (or pin tucked) headboard tutorials using pegboard, which looks so much easier than having to drill holes through wood or mdf. Since I have a pin tuck duvet and pillow shams, I don’t intend to add buttons.

You’re welcome Brooke! Your headboard was such a clever idea….loved it! :)
I have been wanting to make some headboards, too. I have been married 13 years and have never had a headboard. Maybe this year!
You are AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing!
Headboards add impact, visual interest and luxury to a room, letting you store decorative knick-knacks around your
bed. When I tell people that I made the headboard
out of curtains, no one believes me at first until they go up close and start checking it out.
Either use a staple gun to attach or use spray adhesive if
your foam is a little thicker.
