6 Budget
Friendly Ways to Add A Headboard to Your Bed.
So you're in
the mood to decorate your bedroom, but you're on a limited
budget...
AND you don't have a headboard. And we all know that the bed
is the major focal point of a bedroom. Your bed needs weight
and drama... a headboard!
But if you don't want to spend £1000 on a headboard, what do
you do?
Well here are 6 very budget friendly ways to adding a
headboard to your bed.
1. Place box cushions along the wall at the head of your bed.
These are thick enough to hold there shape while adding a
cushioned backdrop to your bed. Now you can lay in bed and
read a book comfortably. You can make your box cushions out
of foam and fabric or find some discount cushions to match
your decor. Even old couch cushions covered in new fabric
can work!
2. Hang a full-length mirror horizontally above your bed.
This will give the feel of a headboard, reflect light in the
room and help open up your space. You'll be surprised at how
great this looks!
3. Hang fabric down your wall. Quickly sew up some rod
pocket curtains, or find some pre-made curtains and hang
them from the ceiling down and behind your bed. This will
add height, texture and drama to your bed. You can hang your
fabric with a standard curtain rod or staple it to 1" x 2"
board.
4. Hang framed art across the wall above your bed. Find
images that complement your room's color scheme and frame
them in a rich wood tone or paint the frames to add a punch
of color. Evenly space them on the wall above the head of
your bed.
5. Make your headboard! This is easier than you think. Get
some plywood at the height and width that you need. Glue a
layer of foam to the board. Then cover the foam and board
with batting, stapling it to the back of the board. And the
cover the batting with your fabric, stapling it to the back
of the board. Easy!
6. Hang shutters behind your bed. What a terrific country
look, to reuse some old shutters or fencing and use it as a
headboard!
With a little imagination you can come up with your own
special headboard creation that will add much needed drama
to your bedroom plus adding in your personality. Because
what's a bedroom without your personality shining through?
