I am a big fan of DIY headboards. I have been looking for inspiration for both my master bedroom and my guest bedroom. I prefer a “do it yourself” headboard versus purchasing one, because it will save you a lot of money and will also create a bigger statement. Need inspiration for your DIY Headboard? I found some really great projects below:

BHG

A feed sack has been stapled to a piece of plywood along with some batting and foam. For an extra touch, a salvaged architectural element is added to the top of the headboard.

House Tweaking

I shared this DIY headboard with my Facebook followers a couple of weeks ago. I am in love with everything about this bedroom. The owners repurposed an old fence to make the headboard.

The Old Painted Cottage via Houzz

This DIY headboard was made from an old mantel.

Ana White

If you already have a headboard, try painting it a bold color for a brand new look.

Dreamy Whites

Two old doors are used for a farmhouse styled headboard. Can’t find aged doors like this? Find any wooden doors at a salvage yard, then coat them with a layer of paint. Age them with rough sandpaper.

Metal and Mud

I LOVE this idea. Use starched fabric to create a one of a kind DIY headboard. Super inexpensive and easy to make! Click the link for a great tutorial!

House to Home

Use artwork as your headboard, like this extra large canvas.

The Lennoxx

Even a small decorative element is enough to be a makeshift headboard, and draw the eye toward the focal point of the room.
