A quick and easy way to spruce up your bedroom or give it some much needed updating is by changing up your bed’s headboard. But before you run out to a furniture store – know there are so many ways to create beautiful headboards yourself!
A statement headboard can create drama in a room or make it appear larger than it actually is. You don’t need to be a carpenter to create your own headboard in a style that suits your space.
If you’re up for a DIY bedroom project, here are 15 awesome headboard ideas for your bedroom makeover.
