And it is possible to build them ourselves at home without spending too much, so do not wait to discover how to make cheap bed headboards for a bed.

Bamboo headboards

A very original idea to make your own bed headboard is to use a very fashionable natural material: bamboo. You just need enough for the reeds to cover the entire width of the bed; you can tie them together or secure them with a permanent adhesive that keeps them together.

If you do not want to keep the original bamboo color because it does not match the rest of the decor of the room, you can choose to paint the sticks a color that suits you, such as white.

Bamboo is a very versatile material, so take a look at all the ways in which you can decorate with bamboo.

Headboards with pallets

Another common option to make recycled furniture is to use a pallet, that is, the wooden structures that are used in stores and warehouses to transport boxes and other goods. This is a very economical idea to make the headboard of your bed yourself and with very few resources.

Sand the pallet to remove any splinters and avoid hurting yourself, then give it a layer of primer in order to prevent damage. Finally, you can choose to paint it the color you like and then anchor it to the wall where you want the head of your bed to be.

Cushion headboards

Related to resting time, pillows can also serve to build a cheap bed headboard. Choose one or more shades of color or a pattern that you like and combine as many cushions as necessary to cover the width of the bed; make it as tall as you want.

When hanging them on the wall, we recommend building a structure with wooden slats where you can secure them with staples. You can place the cushions next to each other without them touching or have them overlap slightly so you don't see the wall.
