Your bedroom is perhaps the most important space in your house as here you relax, here you wake up and it creates a mood for the whole day. Thea’s why decorating your bedroom in a cool and stylish way is essential, and your bed should be super comfortable and functional if necessary – this is the centerpiece of the room. Though many beds today come with no headboard, you can make one or hack an existing one adding decorative value and functionality to the bed. I’ve prepared some cool IKEA headboard hacks to get you inspired: some of them are IKEA headboards hacks, others are usual headboards redone with IKEA items – take a look and go crafting!
Headboards With Storage
Storage headboards are super practical: they give you additional storage space and you don’t any nightstands anymore! This is a perfect idea for a small bedroom, and any large one, too, if you want a sleek minimal look. To get some storage, you can make a headboard of IKEA Trones cabinets – this is a very effective idea. Go for a Mandal headboard and add shelves to it for open storage. Attach Ribba or Mosslanda ledges to the headboard to make some hidden storage. Two Alex units with a wooden countertop is a cool idea to store many things inside.

Upholstered Headboards
An upholstered headboard is timeless classics, which brings a soft and cozy feel to the room and something else depending on the fabric you’ve chosen. You may try various colors, patterns and fabrics that match your bedroom style making a bold statement with your headboard. You can also wrap your headboard with weaving – go for leather or some fabric that you like and you’ll give it a 70s inspired look. Pair upholstering and adding storage space inside your headboard for maximal result!
