Make a headboard that follows the design on the wallpaper. Paper: Silvergate BP852 from Farrow and Ball.
Instructions below on how this headboard look was achieved.
Instructions:
1. This headboard is applied directly to the wall, so move your bed away to give you room to work.
2. Choose an outline for your headboard that will complement the design on your leftover wallpaper.
3. Measure the width of your bed and decide on the height of your headboard.
4. Using these measurements, cut enough wallpaper to fill the required space making sure the pattern matches up. The design in our image took three drops.
5. Lay your wallpaper drops side-by-side on the floor.
6. Draw the left-hand side of the headboard in pencil and cut out. You can now use this as a template for the right-hand side; this technique ensures both sides are symmetrical.
7. Paste the central drop of wallpaper and leave to soak for 3-5 minutes.
8. Mark a center point for your headboard on the wall and use this as a guide to hang the first drop.
9. Paste the remaining drops and leave to soak for 3-5 minutes.
10. Hang the remaining drops either side of the central drop and leave to dry. Now you can put your bed back and admire your handy work.
Now you do not have to buy furniture!! All of these great ideas comes from Farrow and Ball.
