1. Rustic Wood

2. Simple Upholstered Look
The look of an upholstered headboard makes a room look sophisticated and beautiful, but the price is usually very discouraging. A great solution is to make your own upholstered headboard. You may think I’m crazy for even suggesting that, but it can actually be a lot easier than you think! Of course, you can always get very fancy when making your own which can get complicated and expensive, or you can keep it easy by simply building a wood frame, then covering it with fabric. Hang it above your bed and you’ll have the look of an upholstered headboard without the high cost!

3. Foam Ceiling Tiles
If you’re looking for a more custom look that’s easy and inexpensive, try using some foam ceiling tiles as your headboard. All you have to do is buy the tiles, spray paint them whatever color you’d like, then hang them up with some foam adhesive, and voila! It’s incredibly creative, yet simple at the same time. The foam tiles are very inexpensive and allow you to make the headboard whatever color you’d like. Not to mention that you don’t have to put any holes in the wall to hang them. This would be a great option for renters who won’t be staying in their home for long.
