We think of headboards as actual pieces of furniture. No more! Too often left out, headboards are actually the decorative item par excellence that gives the tone to your bedroom. And there are whole host of inexpensive options when it comes to doing it yourself.

To design your own headboard, paint is your best ally. Looking for an easy project to try? Using tape, create two large triangles the same width as your bed. Paint with similar colours for a real minimalist Scandinavian look. Not your style? Sketch some ideas on paper and paint your own unique design in the colours of your choice.
