The easiest DIY headboard ideas I've come across are shutters. You simply lean them against the wall. No measuring, no drilling holes -things I'm always trying to avoid!
On a side note: Check out above shell pillows in this Bedroom!
Old shutters are so charming. Leave them as is, chipped and faded, for a shabby chic cottage look. Seen at Jane Coslick's.
From shabby chic to nautical chic. A modern clean Condo in South Beach FL. White vinyl shutters are used as a headboard, or rather backdrop. Very nice!
This is one of the DIY headboard ideas that requires some work. Each panel is a painted closet door. Those hollow doors, we had them in our first home which was a ranch style house. You can buy them at Home Depot. The panels are attached to each other with hinges, and to the wall with L-brackets placed on top of the panels. Seen at Better Homes and Gardens (link no longer available).
I love this headboard idea a lot. A shelving unit. Easy and very functional too -more space to showcase your beach finds!
And the easiest headboard ideas of all times -large pillows! I know, you can't really call this a headboard, but it's a great and effortless alternative (link no longer available).

Hey Maya...Love this idea! As you know, I have old doors going vertical for my headboard. I think I'm going to Mod Podge some fabric on the panels to give it more "oomph". I'm going to the architectural salvage place tomorrow & they have a lot of shutters. I'll check them out & maybe make one for my spare bedroom!
Thanks for the post. :)

I love this idea. Happy Monday.
Love the shutters as a headboard and that shelving unit is perfect! That room is perfect!
Hope you are doing well Maya!
I love those white shutters! I have a big Degas print as my headboard, but I've got a TON of wall space behind my dressers that I have no clue what to do with - I think I'll pop some shutters back there until I come up with something else!
Hi Maya
I have been a fan of shutter headboards and have been on the prowl for some old shutters.I use them throughout my house...to soften corners, for privacy, and as valances in the kitchen.

I love the shelves.
I just love old shutters, but whenever I come across them I never can think of what I need them for. I'm gonna remember this one though! ~Lili
Hi Maya!!
I love the shutters as headboard idea!!! And I do love the chippy turquoise ones....so cute:)
Hi Maya,
Yes, the shutter headboard is a classic...I used to use them a lot in my photo styling. I remember the BH&G headboard from years ago :)
I love the distressed shutters with the BIG beached-themed pillows in front. This went into my file immediately!
Where did you get the shutters?
Where to get the shutters:
The rustic ones are used and you can find them at flea markets, salvage stores and on ebay. The white shutters that make for a very clean and more modern look are new and available at home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowes.
Thanks for stopping by!
