Well, I’ve switched some things up a bit… there’s a bedroom in our studio! We have family coming in for the holidays so I’ve temporarily converted the studio to a guesthouse. When Archie arrived we transformed our only guest room to his nursery, which left us with no space for family to stay, other than crashing in the living room. Once we built-out the new studio space my parents were able to stay there when they visited but we didn’t have that great of a set up. My mom would sleep on the sofa and my dad on an air mattress.
This year I wanted to welcome them with a much more comfortable space, so I set out to create a beautiful bedroom on a budget that would also be easy to convert back and forth from my studio to a guest room when we do and don’t have house guests. I had most things on hand but the design started to come together when I saw this rug and a DIY headboard idea was born.
DIY WOVEN HEADBOARD
Supplies Needed:
Hammer
Small Finish Nails
6 x Placemats
2 x Rug
I wanted a headboard to frame out the bed and make it feel like a proper bedroom and all I did was purchase 6 of these table mats and 2 of these rugs and secure them to the wall with tiny finish nails. Five minutes later… instant headboard!
Another great thing about this DIY is that I can repurpose the placemats for a table setting while they aren’t in use as a headboard.
On a side note… I love seeing how my wallpaper works in a bedroom setting, which has me really excited for when I can start selling it (I’ll keep you posted but it should be available early 1017!).
I bought this simple bed frame which has legs that screw off easily so we can store it without taking up too much space when we don’t have guests and I topped it all off with my favorite Parachute bedding. Next I added some ottomans as night stands, and a grounded it all with a Frances Loom vintage rug, from my ever growing rug I am not sure how having a bed in the studio over the next month or so will affect my productivity. It is pretty naptime tempting after all, but I am sure my visiting family will appreciate it.

It all looks great! Very cozy and inviting. The bed frame caught my eye as our mattress is now on the floor…does it seem durable??
HI, thank you! yes it feels durable. definitely worth getting the mattress off the ground for. 🙂
Truly epic DIY! bravo!
SO GOOD.
That’s an amazing idea! And it looks fabulous! It’s great to have a guest room to offer visitors, I think, to give them their own little space to retreat to! Happy Thanksgiving in advance!

I can’t stick anything to the wall behind my bed as there is a door frame hidden by curtains. I am thinking about making a wooden frame to stick these to instead…how sturdy are the placemats and rugs? Are the flimsy and thin or pretty thick? Just wondering before I order…beautiful headboard!!!

[…] If you are good at weaving then you can weave these oval shaped table mats and the round shaped rugs and you would be using them for the making of the most unique and totally mind blowing project and that is making a headboard out of them. Yes using the mats in the middle and the rugs at the sides a lovely headboard like structure has been created at the back of the back and no doubt it has added really fancy touches to the bed and the bedroom decor.

I was thinking of doing a DIY headboard with a jute rug! I searched on Pinterest and your was the main post that came up, even all these years later it’s still a super unique idea! I’m wondering if you think it would work to use a staple gun rather than finishing nails? Thanks for the tutorial!
