Love the look of wrought-iron headboards, but not the price? Get the look without the cost by painting one on your wall. Find a stencil at a local crafts store or make your own. Cut the stencil from acetate with a crafts knife, affix the stencil to the wall using a spray adhesive or low-tack tape, and apply paint inside the stencil. Use acrylic paint or specially formulated stenciling cream.
Chic Screen
Cozy up your bedroom by unfolding a fireplace screen and hanging it on the wall behind your bed as a headboard. For an antique look, spray paint the screen in desired color. After it’s dry, dip a sponge in bronze paint and wipe a light coat on the spray-painted screen. Repeat with copper paint. Finish with a clear spray-on sealant.
Door-Turned-Headboard
A solid pine door is the perfect way to make a bold statement with a headboard. Cut 15 inches off the bottom of the door. Paint the door and let dry. Mount the door to the wall about 4 inches above the floor using two brackets. Reinforce with one bracket on top. To hide the top bracket, use finishing nails to attach a piece of molding to its top edge 1 inch above the door. Fill holes with wood filler, sand, and paint.
Window of Opportunity
Create an elegant headboard like this one by spraying two shutters with two coats of primer and two coats of metallic paint, then finishing with two coats of sealant. Allow the shutters to dry between coats. Measure the inside of each panel and cut fabric to fit each opening, adding 1/2 inch on all sides. Place thick batting inside the panel to cover the entire area. Cover with a piece of fabric. Secure the corners and the edges by stapling to the panel. Hot-glue ribbon to hide the raw edges. Repeat for each panel.
