The Effortless Headboard Styling Hack To Give Your Room A Boho Touch

On its own, a headboard helps make your bedroom look more polished and intentional. It serves as a sort of focal point that draws the eye in and up. That said, not all headboards are created equally, and some are more enjoyable to look at than others. If you find your headboard to be on the boring side, don't worry; you won't need to replace it. Instead, you can easily transform a boring headboard into something truly unique with a simple fabric hack. By draping and layering a few silk scarves over your headboard, you can introduce visual interest, softness, and a boho touch with little to no effort.

This hack is an affordable alternative to replacing your headboard, especially if you already own the scarves. Even if you need to source new scarves, you can easily find them at thrift stores and second-hand shops for a good deal. In addition to being an inexpensive option, this hack is also non-permanent. This means you're free to try new, bold colors and patterns without having to fully commit.

When attempting to decorate your headboard with scarves, there are a few different styling options to explore. For longer scarves, you can create a bed canopy effect by hanging the scarf on a hook above the center of your bed and letting the fabric drape over the sides of your headboard. For something a little simpler and more subtle, simply fold your scarf in half and drape it over your headboard. With this method, don't be afraid to play around with adding a few scarves and layering them on top of one another. Now is also a good opportunity to play with different colors and textures that might be outside of your comfort zone.

Alternatively, you can attach the scarves directly to your headboard using upholstery tacks. With the tacks, you can create a tufted look or keep things flowy with just a few strategically placed tacks. If you love this idea but don't currently own a headboard, you can use the scarves as a boho-chic alternative to buying a headboard by simply attaching them to your wall. For this method, you can use a tapestry rod and simply hang your favorite scarves above your bed where a headboard would normally sit. However you choose to style the scarves, this headboard hack is a simple way to give your bedroom a refresh without spending a fortune, so why not give it a try?
