A headboard that reaches upward toward the ceiling—a high headboard—is destined to become a focal point in any bedroom, adding drama to your decor. You can certainly find dozens of headboard styles in most furniture stores, but why not try for something a bit more unique? The following headboard projects are easy to make, but more important, achieve a level of style and personalization that can’t be found in any retail store. A headboard is like a canvas over your bed—so treat it like one!

	Framed-Wallpaper Headboard Ever seen a wallpaper pattern worth framing? Well, it makes the perfect headboard. See how.
	Canopy Headboard Traditional four-poster canopy beds can look so stuffy, but sheer fabric flowing above your bed translates into utter romance. See how.
	Portrait Gallery Headboard Have a favorite art series? Unify and celebrate it with one big frame. See how.
	Stenciled Headboard We haven’t used stencils since grade school, but a graphic pattern on a simple backdrop can be stunningly sophisticated. See how.
