Narrow Vertical Panel Fabric Headboard

Experimenting with new looks and patterns is a great way to spice up your bedroom. Especially if your final look is totally unexpected and unconventional. So, when we came across this project, we knew it needed to be shared. Most of the DIY headboards you see on this list are done in a horizontal style, but this one is vertical, adding some extra interest and height to the room.

Just get a couple of wood panels, cover them with a neutral fabric, and add some foam in between if you want a softer look. Use a bold, contrasting fabric to create the runners—or just use some table runners—to give it a fresh twist. You can even change the runners out whenever you change up your bedding, so that the entire room still looks like it was meant to go together.
