Free is not a word that is commonly used in association with headboards. Yet, it is possible to use something affordable and make it into something special. Wood pallets or other pieces of wood make a fabulous background with no big investment.

Think outside the board


Use alternative ideas and give your bedroom a unique feel. A curtain with twinkle lights behind it, or a cool wall tapestry can create this feel. Also, you can be creative with something from a hobby or something you feel passionately about.
