23 Awesome Alternative Headboards

Today we have an eclectic collection of Awesome Alternative Headboards that I think you are going to find interesting and inspiring.  If you are looking for a little bit something different and very budget friendly…you should take a look at all 23 on 2 pages of creativity.  I have to fess up that I did  find many others that were incredible but they did not have a link associated to them and I just don’t like to feature something without proper credit. By the way…the colorized bold words are links : )  Any way…these are really cool and will get your innovative wheels turning for sure. 

 

 

I hear all of you Farmhouse lovers hearts beating a little bit faster.  How gorgeous are these vintage windows…if you are lucky enough to find some large windows they could be your next headboard.  With a bit of tender loving care and maybe a stain or a wood treatment you can tailor the look perfectly.  This gorgeous picture is from a collection over at Karen Rosenlund, Photographer…tons of inspiration there.

 

BHG shares this fabulous idea with us…why not get frames that are all the same size and style and then frame fabulous photos or art.  Instant alternative headboard.  Just think of the possibilities…this is such a tailored custom look which is so easy to obtain.  I am in love with this look…the possibilities are off the charts.

 

Here’s a great idea from BHG…find or make yourself an fabulous ledge shelf in the color or stain of your choice…add some hooks and attach a tufted  pillow…just look at the results!

 

Over at Stylizimo they simply used a cleaned up pallet and it looks great.

 

There are 3 really Fun Alternative Headboards over at Good Housekeeping and I am so happy that they have an actual DIY attached to them.  This one will wake up a room for sure.  By using an eclectic print textile or even a rug…a pole and a few tools (show in their DIY) you will have a gorgeous new headboard.  Think of the possibilities with this technique stored in your DIY Mind!  There are two others waiting on the same post!

 

If you are looking for a totally new look you have to drop by Design*Sponge to check out the DIY Bed Canopy.  It’s pretty awesome and oh so unique!  There is a complete tutorial for you which makes it even better!  It is a real WOW factor in the room.  Think of all the looks you can get with all the fabrics and rods out there!

 

It doesn’t get easier that this over at Phorm Deign Life…add a rod and a curtain and VOILA!  The possibilities…there are too many to count.

 

Here’s another great idea that opens the doors to infinite possibilities…using framed artwork!  This gorgeous arrangement over at Elle Decor will totally inspire you.  Think of the different artwork or photographs you can use…the frames…the colors…the textures…it’s a pretty cool alternative!

 

Here is a clean and fresh look that is so easy to get.  Decordots shows you all you need is a shelf and your favorite photos and or art.  So simple…

 

How about an amazing piece of art…yep…it can be that simple.  Find the perfect piece of art in a frame you adore…hang and you have a unique and inspiring piece.  Just like you will find over at The Painted Hive.

 

For those of you that love the Cottage look and are totally into upcycling…this one will totally inspire you.  With some Thrift Store frames and shutters plus your favorite paint you can arrange a one of a kind creation that will be one interesting alternative headboard.  Thank you Decora Caodeaz for sharing!

 

Over at Bright Bazzar you will see how a large piece such as a clock…an architectural piece…a large wooden wheel…etc…can easily become a headboard.  This idea will get you thinking for sure.
