21 Remarkable King Size Headboard Ideas To Consider

Your bedroom should be your haven, which is a place for you to relax, unwind, and get a great night’s sleep. Sometimes that means a new mattress, and sometimes, it just comes down to having an excellent king headboard. Adding a headboard to your bed is a quick and easy way to give your bedroom a sophisticated look. Moreover, it can add a distinctive, personal touch to your bed and bedroom. However, finding a headboard isn’t always an easy task! Adria Workshop will give you a list of king headboard ideas.

Storage Headboard

When you live in a small home, you need all the storage space you can get. With storage king-size headboard ideas, you don’t need a bedside table when you have storage in the headboard. If you put a shelf on your headboard, you can store books, photos, and other things you need. This storage king headboard saves space and makes it easier to vacuum and access boxes or drawers under the bed. Also, you can hide lamp and charger cords by running them through the holes at the top of the headboard.

DIY Button Tufted Headboard

Adding a button tufted king headboard like this is an excellent option for lending your restful retreat a new look. This piece was made with a solid, man-made wood frame and a wingback shape, which gives it a classic look that will look great above your bed.

Foam filling and linen upholstery with button tufting make this piece perfect for leaning on while you get in some before-bed reading. Tufted king headboards have always been very vogue, and they will only become old-fashioned later. This king-size headboard idea is a slightly more complicated headboard project, but it is worth all your time and effort!

Geometric Wood Headboard

The only power tool you'll need to craft this stunning geometric wood headboard is a miter saw. You combine cheap creative materials to produce a unique DIY King Headboard. 

You can make this gorgeous wood king-size headboard with inexpensive door and window trim from a home improvement store. You cut the casing pieces' ends at a 45-degree angle with a miter saw. Then arrange in an alternating pattern the white-painted and unfinished casing on a piece of plywood that fits your bed's width. To build a frame, you glue the pieces together, then add flat trim to the top and sides. 

Pretty Embroidered Headboard

Many interior designers recommend this DIY headboard for a modern bedroom with crisp lines and clean designs. A large wooden board can be used to build a king-size headboard. Then, to achieve the effect, drill holes in the plywood and weave string through. This sewing technique is akin to cross-stitch but isn't as complex. You can have your DIY, pretty embroidered headboard if you're patient.

Ruffled Fabric Headboard

If you enjoy sewing, this lovely ruffled headboard is the perfect project for you, and the best part is that you can do it in just a couple of hours. This ruffled fabric headboard is not a more sturdy than the ones made of wood. Instead, it's a lovely ruffled curtain hanging at the bed's head. It gives it a terrific "there's a window here" aspect, making it ideal for rooms with few windows. What makes it perfect is how simple it is and that you can make it for a few dollars, even if you have to buy all the ingredients.

Tapestry Headboard

Bare walls are never the best option to give your living area some flair and character. A lovely tapestry on your walls would be an excellent addition to your room's décor. Fabric panel in a colorful botanical pattern feels like tapestry when placed at the head of the bed. It gives the soft look of an upholstered headboard without the fuss and is a great way to try patterns without committing to wallpaper. 

DIY Rope Headboard

If you like string art, you'll enjoy this rope pattern king-size headboard idea. It's whimsical and relatively simple to make. You'll need a few pine logs, at least two different colors and types of rope, and a few other essentials like glue, screws, and a handsaw. Cut the timbers to form the frame, and then determine what precise design you want to make with the rope. This DIY Rope headboard is the ideal king-size headboard idea for teenagers since they can be as artistic as they like, and it is so simple that the youngsters can make it themselves.

Woven Rope Headboard

With this DIY headboard, embrace two trends: rope décor and industrial elements. The macrame-style design of this king-size headboard would look great with many other styles, such as eclectic, cottage, and farmhouse. 

Framed DIY Headboard

Search online for your favorite images and print them at a nearby print shop. Frame the prints and mount them above the bed for a trendy king headboard alternative that won’t break the bank. Or you can easily find cheap picture frames at garage sales or charity stores and turn them into a stunning DIY headboard. In this room, we choose artwork in black or white for a cohesive look before hanging the frames side-by-side.

Plank Headboard Wall

Instead of a classic wood king bed frame and king headboard, consider installing a wood accent wall behind your bed to make it the focal point of the room. Many people prefer tall headboards because they fill up the wall attractively and eliminate the need to hang artwork or images above the bed. To make a DIY wood accent wall, measure the length of the planks you'll need and how many you'll need to cover the entire wall from top to bottom. Starting at the ceiling, secure the planks with nails at various spots along the board, making sure some pins are hammered into studs. Continue down the wall, butting the top of the next panel into the bottom of the previous board. And then, you should cut a board horizontally when you reach the bottom.

DIY Industrial style Headboard

You may make a headboard out of corrugated metal roofing by cutting out the shape with a jigsaw. Before screwing it to the wall, the edges were sanded with a grinder.

Making an upholstered king headboard with tufting is a low-cost and straightforward DIY project that anyone can perform. With basic sewing skills, you may make the high-end designer look-alike headboard in this bedroom in only a few days. Alternatively, you can make this rustic DIY upholstered headboard with cardboard/foam board, fabric, and a hot glue gun without sewing or power equipment. Remember that if you choose a colorful and vibrant fabric for this king headboard, your bedroom will also look better.

Door-Turned-Headboard

You do not need lots of money to make your bedroom look chic or romantic – all you need is a drop of imagination and some recycled doors! Old doors are a great way to add vintage charm to the bedroom and make a bold statement headboard. 

A king bed is 76′′ wide, but doors are typically 80′′ tall, so you won't have to cut the door. Please make sure the door panels are symmetrical when turned on their sides. And if you need to cut it down in size, cut it from both ends to keep it centered.

Shutter DIY Headboard

A headboard doesn't need to touch the floor. You can quickly create a DIY headboard from items you own and hang it at mattress height to mimic a conventional headboard. Here, we made an original DIY headboard out of shutters from a home improvement store. The shutters were painted in colors that went with the room, and we chose a fabric that went with them for a beautiful recycled design.

DIY Light Up Headboard

A light bulb king headboard will add a lovely warm glow to your late-night reading. Putting one together with fairy lights is surprisingly easy and cheap, and the result is beautiful. Moreover, you can also add some of your favorite photos of friends or family pinned in these fairy lights to create a chic and affordable DIY headboard alternative. This option is perfect for apartments and dorms.

Floral Headboard

What better way to unwind than in a flower bed? This lovely blossoming king headboard involves only a few items and can be completed in hours. You will need a headboard with a Moroccan design, white paint (if your headboard is not already white), and paper flowers. You will also need artist tape and floral wire to secure the flowers. You can accomplish this with a completed headboard or by creating one yourself. Just keep in mind to make the morocco pattern with holes for the flowers.

DIY Mid-century modern Barn Door Headboard

Make repurposed barn wood doors the focal point of your bedroom. This king-size headboard idea is ideal if your home is decorated in a vintage or rustic style and you want your bedroom to complement the general aesthetic of your home. Refurbish your barn wood doors before placing them behind your bed for a lovely recycled headboard.

Cut a barn wood door to fit your king headboard's dimensions. Then, using a moist cloth, gently clean the boards, being careful not to scrub or sand away the aged character. Cut boards as needed and nail them on the plywood to cover them. We brushed on the whitewashed finish after diluting 1/3 cup of white paint with 1/2 cup of water. When the paint was dry, we taped off the boards and used a blue spruce hue to create color blocks. The relaxing color works well in a bedroom, and the color blocks offer a modern touch. 

Plywood Headboard

Adding flair and visual interest to your bedroom on a budget is easy with a DIY plywood headboard. The most straightforward DIY headboard designs only require a piece of plywood. Install the plywood on the wall behind your bed after painting or staining it.
