Upholstered Headboards
-
Cover a piece of foam board or an artist’s framed canvas with fabric to create a lightweight, portable headboard that is also inexpensive to make. Cut a section of fabric slightly larger than the foam board or canvas, then pull it over the edges and duct-tape it or staple it to the back. Create any shape or size of headboard using this technique by joining more than one foam board or canvas together, also with duct tape. Add a layer of padding and/or batting between the foam core board or canvas and the fabric if you prefer the look of a padded headboard. Center and hang the headboard on the wall behind the bed using wall hangers.
Doors
-
People who like to rearrange often may prefer the appearance of a wooden headboard, without the headaches of attaching it to the bed frame or to the wall. Prop two or more decorative wooden doors side-by-side on the wall behind the bed. Anchor the tops of the doors to the wall using removable interlocking strips. Push the bed frame against the base of the doors to help anchor them in position. Decorate the doors with stain or paint, or use them as a background for picture frames or shelving. If the frames/shelves are attached to the individual doors, each time you rearrange the bedroom furniture, the frame/shelving arrangement moves with the doors.

Fabric
-
Hang a quilt or some other form of decorative fabric on the wall behind the bed to create a headboard that moves easily whenever the urge to rearrange hits. Removable interlocking strips also work to hang fabric without creating holes in the walls whenever you move the headboard. Attach the strips along the top, sides and bottom of the fabric to secure the material to the wall.
Tiled Headboard
-
Cover a framed artist’s canvas with pressed metal tiles to create a movable headboard with old world character. Glue the tiles to the canvas using construction adhesive; place the tiles so that the side edges touch to create a seamless tiled look for the headboard. Wait 24 hours to let the glue dry, then hang the headboard on the wall using wall hangers or removable interlocking strips. As with the upholstered headboard, you can join several canvases together with duct tape on the back side in order to make a larger headboard.
