100 Affordable Headboard Alternatives, 61-70

Alexis L. — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:30:13 +0000

Part 7. Continuing the 10-part affordable headboard alternatives series, here are more ideas to define the space above and around the bed. For more details on most ideas, click the pics or just post your questions and thoughts in the comments.

61. Embroider a headboard. Perfect for a bedroom for a youngster or anyone who is young at heart. Embroider a playful headboard silhouette on any expanse of cloth and hang.

62. Hang a tapestry or piece of fabric behind the bed. The clean lines of the mounting hardware shown here are perfect for a modern bedroom.

63. Mount or place a cross-segment of wood behind the bed. Ideal for the rustic / organic home, a segment of wood or driftwood can be used throughout your space when you no longer want to use it as a headboard.

64. Adhere paint chips to the wall behind the bed in a grid or other pattern. Time-consuming, yes. But what an impact and almost free.

65. Hang paper lanterns over the bed in a grid or a cluster.
Who cares about a headboard when you are floating off on a magic raft of lanterns? And lanterns of all sizes can be found on eBay for little more than pennies.

66. Arrange a deck of playing cards in grid over the bed.

67. Hang placemats in a grid over the bed.

68. Hang a laser cut wool felt rug behind the bed.

69. Hang strands of chandelier crystals behind the bed.

70. Place a screen behind the bed.
