Simple Solutions: Painted Headboard
If you think the secret to a making a grand statement in your bedroom is buying an expensive, clunky headboard that takes up too much space and time to assemble, we have good news for you. There’s a seriously easy and chic way to transform your bedroom in a single weekend. The simple solution? Paint your headboard. Here’s why we’re raving over this painted problem-solver:
For the Small Space Dweller
Sometimes, especially in a small room, the best or only solution is to not have a physical headboard at all. Enter: painted headboard. Finding a way to make a small sleep space feel, well, spacious is a challenge that paint can solve. By adding a design, shape, or just a contrast of color above your bed, you can make the wall look larger than it is, and even add height to a room.
For the Mindful Shopper
Dressing up your bedroom doesn’t have to spell doom for your wallet. Simply painting a headboard is an affordable and completely doable option, even for the DIY-challenged. Dutch Boy paints has really simplified the painting process by offering budget-friendly paint in easy to use Twist & Pour containers. An even bigger penny-saver? Paint just the outline of the headboard and let the wall color underneath fill in the middle! Making your own headboard is the easiest way to create the luxury look without the price.
For the Renter
With luck, your landlord may give you the okay to paint (as long as you paint it back before you leave, of course.) An impactful way to introduce a bit of color without going overboard in your temporary space is to add a pop color above your bed. Trust me – you’ll be thankful for not having to lug that bulky backboard up those five flights of stairs.
For The Creative Spirit
Don’t be afraid to come up with your own design, trim, and shape to make your finished product a reflection of you and your style. If you’re looking to make your new headboard stand out, adding borders and visual detail will really dress up your wall. Already have bold, intricate bedding? We suggest keeping it simple with modern, clean lines to make your bed the clear focus. A DIY headboard allows you to fully customize the size, style and colors to suit any bed and decor. And if you’re a creative like me, the option to customize is the ultimate solution.
