That’s right — no drilling required for these pretty headboards. If you’re renting, in a dorm or just really indecisive, a DIY headboard can quickly and easily fix the “floating bed” issue and instantly give your bedroom a decor makeover. You can try your hand at painting a headboard, sticking on a decal or just hanging a pretty piece of tapestry. Now, let’s turn that blank bed backdrop into a luxurious and cozy space!

3. Chalkboard Headboard: Alright, so if you’re a renter or living in a dorm, you won’t be able to get away with painting the whole wall into a chalkboard, but if you can score an old-timey freestanding blackboard, you can have a look that can change whenever the creative mood strikes.
