Bedroom makeover is pretty much going into your advantage than anyone else. It’s where you rest after a busy day’s work. So, anything you do to make your bedroom a pleasurable area is definitely a great idea. Check out this easy DIY makeover idea using a new upholstered bedroom headboard:
Procedure
1. Fabric can do the trick. Start by choosing a fabric design that is pleasing to your eye. Make sure that you have enough of this fabric to cover everything in front and back of the headboard of about 5 inches.
2. Then, Secure the center with a staple but ensure that the top edge of the headboard is properly wrapped. This is roughly about 3 inches from the edge. Perform these steps carefully to avoid misaligned fabric formation.
3. Pull fabric tightly on the opposite sides or edges and staple securely. You can staple all the surrounding edges but make sure that it will not look messy with all the staples. Also, don’t forget to pull the fabric tight before you staple. This will create a snappy and elegant look of the fabric in the headboard.

4. As for the corners, stop your staple at around 3 inches from the corner. The unstapled fabric will be folded at a corner and neatly tuck it in underneath. This will provide the neat finish of your fabric that is covering the headboard.
5. Staple the folded areas on each corner. Keep the folds flat and even.
That’s how quick and easy it is to makeover your bedroom headboard. You can even do this over a weekend or make it a project that takes a few days to complete!
