Buy or DIY: 12 Creative Wood Headboards
As the weather cools down, the urge is to spend a few more weekend mornings cozied up under the covers. So why not refresh your bedroom with a warm wood headboard? Here are some creative and rustic headboards you can buy or DIY.
Wood is so versatile and often it just looks better with age. While you can work with its natural color palette, you can also stain it or paint it to make it your own. What I love in many of these examples is how the wood’s natural elements are used in creative ways to create pattern and design.
