Area Rug As A Headboard

Do you have an old rug at home that you’re no longer using on your floors? Don’t toss it, or give it away. Hang it on the wall behind your bed using a curtain rod, to create a unique headboard that’s simple and adds a touch of softness to your room. The best part about this headboard is that it can help to dampen sound, especially if your room has all hardwood flooring.

A standard 5×8 rug will work for a queen-size bed, but you’ll want a bigger size if you have a king. If you don’t have a spare rug, or if what you have just isn’t your style, look for a rug that’s thin and light-weighted, like an Indian dhurrie-style rug. Sale racks and outlet malls are also great places to find beautiful rugs at a hefty discount.
