Just like decorative pillows, a headboard can help you create a cohesive space by mixing and matching colors, patterns, and texture. My Patch of Blue Sky needed to find a way to complement her Moroccan décor and flea market finds in her bedroom. She found a curbside wood beadboard with patina green color that caught her eye. She couldn’t believe someone would want to throw something away that had so much DIY potential! She stenciled it with our Indian Floral Wall Stencil and voila! Her bedroom now had a fine-tuned eclectic look that she was envisioning! See the full DIY tutorial here: Stenciling a Bedboard Headboard.

Jennifer Priest had always wanted a headboard to complete her bedroom, but couldn’t find the right style or an affordable price. Once she learned that stencils can be used with any paint color, she quickly found a large canvas to use our Starry Moroccan Night Stencil on. This slim DIY headboard takes up very little space in the bedroom but makes a big impact with her colorful geometric bedding. If she decides she no longer wants this style of bedroom, she can easily move this stencil project to another room to use as wall art.

And she was right! Her headboard is now shimmering, shining, and styling!
