Floating Headboard With LED Lighting

Who hasn’t noticed those beautiful floating LED headboards in all the home and luxury lifestyle magazines? Those have to be expensive, right? Well, if you’re buying one from a store: yes. They can be very expensive. These headboards can cost up to $1,000, or more in some cases. But, did you know that they’re neither challenging or expensive to make yourself?

To make a floating LED headboard, just pick any wood planks of your choice—this can be wood that you buy at the hardware store, or just scrap wood you have around the house. You can even use one solid sheet of plywood. Next, mount a string of LED lights to the back of your headboard, and place it on the wall, making sure there’s a gap of at least a few inches between the wall and the headboard for optimal glow.
