Coastal Cottage Shutter Headboard

So, what if you liked the shutter project, but you’re looking for something a little more light and airy? For those who love coastal-cottage inspired designs, this simple but elegant DIY headboard project could be just the ticket for you. With just a little bit of extra effort, you transform your bedroom into your very own seaside escape.

You can get some unfinished, louvered shutters from any home improvement or hardware store—you should be able to find both unhinged panels, and pre-assembled panels. Then, paint them in soft, coastal colors, and mount them on the wall behind your bed. This project would be great to pair with the macramé headboard we talked about earlier, to give it a little something extra.
