Home Style Decorating

Headboards are nice and can add elegance to your bedroom. You don’t have to bust your bank account just to buy a nice headboard. You can create your own unique headboard that is not only stylish and creative but inexpensive too. The following are some ideas on how to create your own stylish headboard:

1. Make use of that old door that is lying in your garage. Sand and stain the door to have a classic look and to match it with existing furniture. You can also paint the door and create a distressed look. If the door is paneled, the inserts can be painted a contrasting color, stenciled with elegant designs, or decoupage with fabric or handmade papers.

2. Use a section of wooden picket or wrought iron fencing. Paint the sections and secure with bolts or hooks.

3. Use a plant trellis. Paint it and decorate with ivy, silk flowers, ribbons or anything that you want to hang like pictures of the family.

4. Use old window frames. You can simply paint it or you can get a wallpaper mural and place it behind the frames to give the illusion of looking outdoors.

5. Use folding screens. There are many folding screens to choose from. It can be attached to the wall or just leave it standing.

6. Use vintage napkins or placemats. The linen can be hung on a curtain rod which is attached to decorative rod holders just above the bed.

7. Use scrap plywood or MDF covered by cedar siding or paneling. The headboard can have a rustic, lodge look if covered by cedar shakes or a more traditional look if covered by tongue-in-groove paneling.

8. Use shutters. Stain or paint the shutters to create a country or cottage look in your romantic bedroom.

9. Use framed photographs. Create an arrangement out of it and group it by size, frame color or theme to give the illusion of a headboard.

10.  Use a quilt or tapestry. Mount the fabric over a shower curtain or café curtain rod using curtain hooks with a clip bottom. This looks great in a country or European-style bedroom.

There is no limit on what you can do, just use a little imagination and viola! You have a unique headboard.
