Fireplace Mantle Headboard

Do you have an old, empty fireplace mantel that you don’t know what to do with? Lots of older houses—and even some apartments—have them nowadays. If you have one in your house, or if you have a standalone mantle you picked up from an antique mall, then this could be just the way for you to dress it up. Oh, and it’s super easy to create, too.

If your empty mantle is already on the wall, just move a bed in front of it. Or, if you have one by itself, set it up behind your bed and decorate it with a tufted upholstery (extra points of the fabric has a vintage design), and ta-da, you have a medieval-look inspired headboard, that immediately uplifts your bedroom. Simple, isn’t it?
