If your bedroom is feeling a bit flat and you’re itching for a change without blowing the budget, a DIY headboard is one of the easiest upgrades going. A well-chosen headboard pulls the whole room together and makes your space feel far more intentional than just shoving a bed against a wall and hoping for the best.

Fabric Wraps Give You The Fastest Glow-Up

If you can manage a staple gun without turning it into a health hazard, you can make a gorgeous fabric-wrapped upholstered headboard. All you need is MDF, foam, batting and a fabric that suits your style. 

Whether you go for soft linen, plush velvet or something patterned that actually gives the room some character, the impact is immediate. 

We’ve got a huge range of fabrics available for home delivery on our website, so you can create a beautiful headboard on a budget! 

Panel Headboards For A Budget-Friendly, Modern Take

Panel headboards are trending for a reason. They look high-end, but you can make them on a tight budget. 

All you need to do is cut MDF into long strips, pad and cover them, and mount them horizontally or vertically, depending on the vibe you’re going for. Suddenly, the room looks like you hired a designer! 

Curves, Waves And Arches Make A Statement

Curved headboards are everywhere right now, and they bring a softer, more stylish feel to the room. Cutting wavy or arched shapes into MDF isn’t as scary as it sounds, and using pre-formed foam makes it even easier. Cover it in your chosen fabric, and you’ve created a bedroom feature that looks far more expensive than it cost.
