Across socials and the internet, it seems we\u2019ve collectively decided that sleep is our newest health priority, and I\u2019m here for it. While I don\u2019t have all the tips and tricks to getting better sleep, I can help you DIY your way to a better bedroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of variables to a good night\u2019s sleep, and even more to the <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofeddieolive.com\/index.php\/2021\/09\/09\/the-bedroom-refresh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perfect bedroom sanctuary<\/a>. This DIY headboard hack might not help you sleep longer or more deeply, but it certainly can go a long way to setting the peaceful vibe you need to get those Z\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your room is missing that final touch, and the wall behind your bed could use some dimension, this DIY headboard is for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need a headboard?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want a headboard for your space, you certainly don\u2019t need one. But if you want to sleep like you\u2019re in a luxury hotel room every night, a headboard can certainly add that upscale flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This headboard hack comes together in just a few hours and takes only 7 basic materials. I wanted something to elevate my bed and tie into the <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofeddieolive.com\/index.php\/2021\/09\/13\/the-wallpaper-fiasco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wallpaper<\/a>, but I didn\u2019t have the time or space for a full-scale bed frame. Rather than invest in a large piece of furniture I really wouldn\u2019t want to have to move, I decided to go with a cross between wall art and headboard, bringing an upscale look to the space with minimal effort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had so many diy headboard ideas, but in the end I decided to go with a three panel padded version. You can make this your own by omitting padding, playing with the shape, and getting creative with the pattern.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/houseofeddieolive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0228-1024x883.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-176\" style=\"width:438px;height:378px\" width=\"438\" height=\"378\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to DIY a Headboard<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Materials:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1\/4 plywood<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1\/4 foam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adhesive spray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fabric of choice,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Staple gun &amp; staples<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 mending plates (if creating multiple panels)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>French cleat for hanging<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll start by cutting your plywood down to your desired size or shape. I cut mine into three pieces, with the middle piece in a large rectangle, adorned with two smaller panels on the sides. Once you have your shape framed out, you\u2019ll use spray adhesive to add the padding to each panel \u2013 this gives it that plush look that compliments your pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you\u2019ll wrap your fabric around each panel and staple it to the back. Fold the edges like you\u2019re wrapping a present and trim the excess fabric. If you used multiple panels, you\u2019ll use the mending plates to stitch each part together. If you\u2019d rather skip the plates and hang each portion separately, you can, but it\u2019s much less hassle to bind it into one piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that\u2019s left to do is hang it up behind the bed! Just like that, your basic bed gets a major makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better Headboard, Better Sleep?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I said, the headboard won\u2019t help you sleep better \u2013 it&#8217;s not magic. But who is to say that snoozing in style won\u2019t level up your game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From start to finish, this build took me about two hours, and the impact on my bedroom was well worth it. After all, the average person spends about 26 years of their life sleeping.
