DIY Easy Headboards 2014 Stylish Ideas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">by Watson Hawkins </span></b><br /><b><br /></b>This is hard to believe now, but for too many years, the only headboard project we featured on DIYNetwork.com was made from chain-link. It’s still here, with a cult following, even rumored to have been tweeted by an edgy celebrity highlighting, ahem, alternative styling rather than the original design, which was for a boy’s room.<br />Recent years have seen a sea change in headboard projects, videos, styles and options. And with the upcoming holidays bringing bedrooms and guest rooms into focus, why not take the opportunity to build the headboard you’ve been wanting (or at least steal the look)?<br /><br />If price is your main concern, but you still want projects that are fun to put together with original styles, then look no further than below, where tree branches, reclaimed wood and even T-shirts can be converted into conversation pieces  explaining why this headboard gallery is also our most popular.<br /><br />Reclaimed and reused objects are perfect mediums for headboards, where screens, signs and shutters  among other items  can transform into headboards simply by mounting them on the wall.<br /><br />Practical and chic, there are a number of ideas for headboards that bring a sophisticated feel to a room with materials like fabric, bookshelves and framed artwork.<br />Bold style statements can be made through rustic painted wood (our most popular headboard how-to), nails and canvas board or bright paint with decals. You can even make a slipcover for an existing headboard, and of course all these headboard projects are easy on your budget. <br /><br />You'll love these ideas to try in 2014! I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you .... Enjoy it !!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOeaTnqeOgRnH4Q6KiLv0dqOqFoFumU_jrvAJ0-vl_rNCK_ISv-6Qe3pxjyVALohxxRrv0j2d2Re3e3w3mzwDbxwvXA9TTZU175AEDkgkeKsoGpvo8hRCqh2eLUgjEkkqIyqMh4bk7yjJG/s1600/DIY-Easy-Headboards-2014-Stylish-Ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Make the composition cohesive by repeating metal and wood finishes, colors, and fabric patterns; introduce a variety of shimmering, plush, and woven textiles to keep interest and comfort levels high.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjk3wis7hX7eFbSDF1MHtfhVyNxn1bgKFQzyLzsn8TVGz_abVp7oSqO9P2xDQ8Amlx8Xr3TqiOEmt1a4GSv5InjMDVWDzhYkgwA9iGA1vNgox_eXnqMo4GRm8vr-Ta8RIfPI27DglWiZ4/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCjk3wis7hX7eFbSDF1MHtfhVyNxn1bgKFQzyLzsn8TVGz_abVp7oSqO9P2xDQ8Amlx8Xr3TqiOEmt1a4GSv5InjMDVWDzhYkgwA9iGA1vNgox_eXnqMo4GRm8vr-Ta8RIfPI27DglWiZ4/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Think Pretty and Practical : </b>Tuck a vintage writing desk or dressing table next to your bed to gain benefits aplenty.

Like the idea of an alcove bed? You can have both when you erect a three-sided storage system that protrudes from a wall and creates a central niche. Match the unit's wood and/or finish with the room's doors and woodwork; boost the fabulous factor by upholstering the alcove's back wall with ultra-suede or leather squares.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxlYYJvnpkIHzF-NRmfvIaLVsR7zniRbiWtcaDtZWwg7YKUgpDuh2JrEX93LMfr5jZi4giM4YnMeTqNnKcmUTnGAFPf2JOLh3dQLNIzNScCEqsjj9NB4ot3eibJoXczp2BEMih9tIkqkX/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzxlYYJvnpkIHzF-NRmfvIaLVsR7zniRbiWtcaDtZWwg7YKUgpDuh2JrEX93LMfr5jZi4giM4YnMeTqNnKcmUTnGAFPf2JOLh3dQLNIzNScCEqsjj9NB4ot3eibJoXczp2BEMih9tIkqkX/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Color for Master Bedrooms : </b>Hot pink is likely the first thing you notice in this master bedroom.

Fashion a free-thinking boudoir using objects that are both unexpected and utilitarian. Move in woolly ottomans to serve as end-of-the bed benches and hang an attention-grabbing fixture to draw the eye high. Opt for monochromatic backdrops (such as pale pink walls and draperies) that cede center stage to your fab finds.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnfOux2uestTJh0jnNshKbuZdbUrR_H4HenKBWQrdZt6cFccaYDH_GmjZPmQV2Ls5hdQTCMulqI8NeOJAVPQA2FFLzcVAb31AUGVtNQjOrEb5MUa5m0rLSDoM2VtAgL0-u34K5TZvLszj-/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnfOux2uestTJh0jnNshKbuZdbUrR_H4HenKBWQrdZt6cFccaYDH_GmjZPmQV2Ls5hdQTCMulqI8NeOJAVPQA2FFLzcVAb31AUGVtNQjOrEb5MUa5m0rLSDoM2VtAgL0-u34K5TZvLszj-/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Relax in Style : </b>Set aside a cozy spot for curling up with bestsellers, magazines, or tablets.

Create easy-on-the-eye elegance by using white or a pale, neutral hue as your primary color. Mix in silver-threaded upholstery fabrics, white chandeliers and lamp shades, mercury glass lamp bases, chic furniture profiles, touches of black, and a single accent color (in this case blue) to direct attention around the room.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVfZ87ISM7uSkyCXljXnIMe5NQNnTP8Rr6sKgv50aZqhrLZmf84JdGOcHAQmHlQGUPSmah56j-ht-Pr7NlkvJa8w9DJQbot62P-wbSkedm1aKNo-kiUGCTNKxIanegp6B2bPARNUQ_mZw/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBVfZ87ISM7uSkyCXljXnIMe5NQNnTP8Rr6sKgv50aZqhrLZmf84JdGOcHAQmHlQGUPSmah56j-ht-Pr7NlkvJa8w9DJQbot62P-wbSkedm1aKNo-kiUGCTNKxIanegp6B2bPARNUQ_mZw/s1600/2014-Amazing-Master-Bedroom-Decorating-Ideas-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Focus Your Attention : </b>Old world patinas, furniture profiles, and fabric patterns fashion elegantly appointed master bedrooms. Relying on a low-key scheme of olive, cream, and gray, this master bedroom captivates thanks to a diverse array of fabrics, finishes, and furnishings that advance a collected outlook.

The dark metal complements similar tones in the floor, counters, doors, and window frames, and it adds pizzazz to simple open shelves that provide both display and storage space. The shelves keep items used every day in an easily accessible place, and a top shelf, which might be hard to reach, is used to showcase art and decorative objects rather than kitchen essentials. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBLAfPJnx6A6eCxw6z_TyqVgRTco0GolP6pPkOL-wgR0gYWh6RKRNHYTARA3Z-XCiRBo9hnSdSKttjexG7DlxFhyPFxMe9sEuIBxfBwXgyStG-7bBDTnsuhjGKK6MFpJ4oeonItlwiQE1/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUBLAfPJnx6A6eCxw6z_TyqVgRTco0GolP6pPkOL-wgR0gYWh6RKRNHYTARA3Z-XCiRBo9hnSdSKttjexG7DlxFhyPFxMe9sEuIBxfBwXgyStG-7bBDTnsuhjGKK6MFpJ4oeonItlwiQE1/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The space around the range was smartly outfitted for cooking.

A library ladder that rolls along a rail provides access to the top row of cabinets. Cleverly concealed pullouts store spices, bottles, platters, and trays. The slim pullout shelf below the pantry cabinet serves as a temporary landing space for items without permanently intruding on the walkway.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJhApjOWB9B_wMPYY_WMZdE82Zdo1VOAfOvjlS02FXjpiffm48VJmaDch2hm2mrSvoVB48MzvB8lM0VQgKQbEFs75ChwBi-NH9x2m3yv57EsFgQzKknljbxe-11US8qC2p07dKD88TlGGr/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJhApjOWB9B_wMPYY_WMZdE82Zdo1VOAfOvjlS02FXjpiffm48VJmaDch2hm2mrSvoVB48MzvB8lM0VQgKQbEFs75ChwBi-NH9x2m3yv57EsFgQzKknljbxe-11US8qC2p07dKD88TlGGr/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-13.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A corner pullout unit stores large cookware and avoids wasting space in a corner cabinet.

Paired refrigerators with stacked freezer drawers blend in with the cabinetry and give the couple plenty of space to stock up on food for a house full of guests. A pullout cabinet beside the refrigerators makes use of an awkward space. The slender dimensions of the unit make it ideal for storing small containers and bottles. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcfqm3qy0BfwV5BH0avxcaNWzGsFf9lwddhaQnlC6Liod-_05ZVHgMyuRaG-y4AYkZPY_G2NJHuBcCyOJE-SUp5NpKO8E_s7FpOYrdoQ1XKv_GYEm0pVHWnF894gRI0Z30PNGyo0CGJ1H/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcfqm3qy0BfwV5BH0avxcaNWzGsFf9lwddhaQnlC6Liod-_05ZVHgMyuRaG-y4AYkZPY_G2NJHuBcCyOJE-SUp5NpKO8E_s7FpOYrdoQ1XKv_GYEm0pVHWnF894gRI0Z30PNGyo0CGJ1H/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-15.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The couple also opted for a trash compactor and two sink areas: one for preparing food and one for rallying dirty dishes. Two sets of dishwasher drawers between the sinks ease cleanup. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a7fQLNkZng_ofIgJOcE_aOZNVyDj0tXcBE1dW5ZL57CcShP32Zq2m7JKe8Y9AQyxe2iPwRAKEKtfQPfoNlQRmZlhUlDTj49MbSPegLAIxvuOMX7OpclkCjQ9XPNTzDuNYs89VNqwFU2m/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a7fQLNkZng_ofIgJOcE_aOZNVyDj0tXcBE1dW5ZL57CcShP32Zq2m7JKe8Y9AQyxe2iPwRAKEKtfQPfoNlQRmZlhUlDTj49MbSPegLAIxvuOMX7OpclkCjQ9XPNTzDuNYs89VNqwFU2m/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-16.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The rail above the pantry continues around the rest of the kitchen. Transom cabinets take the place of soffits and are within reach, thanks to the library ladder. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZ75RS-gHvIxKL2V6uNyqWksIjk9dWLd1siWlGRP-t68DmDsfpvHYW7GzVs4ACrs2FhBd-iEVT3k8c2BAlvsfeA2WCILgncZc1Nii7Kf4sWTno5XWyFyhgx3sxYb5c4xU-wy5NwU4p1mQ/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCZ75RS-gHvIxKL2V6uNyqWksIjk9dWLd1siWlGRP-t68DmDsfpvHYW7GzVs4ACrs2FhBd-iEVT3k8c2BAlvsfeA2WCILgncZc1Nii7Kf4sWTno5XWyFyhgx3sxYb5c4xU-wy5NwU4p1mQ/s1600/2014-Smart-Storage-Solutions-for-Small-Kitchen-Design-17.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">While they were going for a contemporary feel, the homeowners also wanted the kitchen to be a warm, comfortable place, so they opted for wood-look cabinetry. Zebrawood (named for its dark stripes on a light background) was their first choice, but it was also a budget buster, so they went with custom cabinetry finished with a faux-zebrawood laminate. To keep the look of the cabinetry simple, the couple used few door pulls, opting instead for push mechanisms, which make it easy to open the sleek cabinets and access their contents. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
