It’s only about 2″ thick, so I don’t think it’s much different but if someone really tall already feels cramped than attaching it to the outside of the posts or the wall might work better? Oh and the duvet is from Ikea :)

I’m always looking at your blog for ideas so thanks so much. We just purchased our first house and I am sooo excited to get started on designing and especially DIYing. Our new house just walked out of the 80’s so we have our work cut out for us. I definitely want to make a headboard for our bed. Do you feel as though the headboard takes away from the length of your bed if added in front of the existing headboard? My fiance is 6’6″ so it may matter. Also, where did you get that white duvet cover on your bed? I love it!

I would google around for “how to make a wood cleat” and use a cleat to hang it on the wall. Hope there are a bunch of tutorials for ya!

But if we only have a bed frame, how would you suggest attaching it to the wall?

Thanks!

Oh yes, I think if you could wrap it with batting and then pull fabric tightly and staple it around the back it should look awesome!

It’s sturdy though and has a nice shape – the top and corners are rounded (like a rainbow shape on the top of a rectangle if that makes sense). I was thinking rather than trying to resand it and paint it (it has a bit of a carved design inside the headboard) we could upholster it instead. Do you think the same idea as yours above with the canvas frame could apply??

Thanks!
