Three easy ideas for headboards

Update the look of your bed in just a few hours with our easy ideas, by Maxine Brady

 
Upholster a board

Buy a piece of MDF that is approximately 90cm tall and cut to fit the width of your bed. Jigsaw small holes in the lower two corners for the screws to hold the board in place. Using a staple gun, fix a piece of foam to the front of the board, leaving the holes clear, then cover with fabric, fixing in place at the back. Fold the fabric at the corners for a professional finish, then hang the board to the wall using screws.

Expert tip: Hold the upholstery fabric in place using a staple gun or upholstery tacks.

Time: Takes up to 3 hours
