| Want your bedroom to make a statement? It’s simple and inexpensive – add a headboard. Especially in a master bedroom, an attractive headboard will dress up the room and quickly make the bed the focal point. There are endless headboard ideas depending on the style your potential buyer is looking for. So, add a headboard, some accessories and you’re done. |
| Here’s an example of a headboard I made for a house that I staged in Calgary. It’s actually a room divider that I found on sale for $100. All I did was cut off the bottom to make the height fit proportionate to the bed, removed the hinges, and screwed it to a piece of plywood. It looks great and few people would know that it wasn’t originally designed as a headboard. |
| Get creative with your DIY headboard ideas. Use old painted doors. Vintage wood shutters. A great piece of fabric stretched over foam and stapled to plywood. Paint out a basic headboard you find at a thrift store or online. Regardless of how you do it, just make sure the headboard is about the same width as the bed frame, looks large enough for the room, and is clean looking. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore is a great place to find inexpensive materials that get your creative juices flowing for a project like this! On any given day, you never know what treasures you will find. And if you are de-cluttering or renovating, check to see if the ReStore will accept your items for donation. It’s an amazing resource and all for a great cause. Check it out. For more staging help, check out the rest of my site, or contact me. I’m here to help people get their homes sold faster! |
