The headboards offered on the market do not suit your tastes or your desires? In that case, make it yourself . A few good techniques and a little elbow grease are enough to bring a new style to your bedroom.
First step:determine the width of your bed by adding the width of your bedside tables. The goal is for the headboard to overflow to reveal a certain harmony. Once the dimensions are known, cut boards of medium according to the total width previously calculated. It is likely that you will have to put two boards together if the format is too large. In this case, fix them with two cleats to reinforce the assembly. The soft and comfortable aspect being essential, cover your boards with a wadding that you will staple at the back. Do the same with a fabric intended to dress and decorate your headboard. All you have to do is install your headboard.
Note that it is possible to give a design effect to this model by installing LEDs at the back of the headboard to bring out discreet lighting. But in this case, it will be necessary to install a switch. Use a hole saw to make holes in the boards. Do the operation before laying the wadding and the fabric. Then, to pass the threads through the fabric, just make a small incision. Place your switch and your LEDs on the back to finish.
To combine practicality and aesthetics, the cube headboard dedicated to storage is an excellent solution. Moreover, it is simple to make. First, form a line of several wooden cubes that you will place on the ground. Then form a second line of cubes to place on the first line. In order to keep all this in place, use mini-clamps to place everywhere. Note that you don't have to stop at the second line.
Add as many as you need. According to your desires, give color to your headboard by painting the cubes. It is possible to obtain a graphic and refined style with a pastel shade which is also very trendy today. If you like the raw side, you can leave it as is. Finally, install your decorative items, books and other odds and ends to store in your new headboard.
Have you just changed your shutters? Do you find yourself with many blinds on your arms and you don't know what to do with them? It's simple:turn them into an original headboard to give your bedroom a vintage feel. So take two blinds of identical dimensions which should ideally be the same length as your bed. Then, move on to the sanding step to remove paint, rough spots and wear. Then move on to applying the paint either with a brush or in the form of a spray can. Do two coats to gain uniformity. After drying, your new headboard is ready to be installed.
