Headboards can really make a sleeping space, offering both a luxurious finish and dimension. Whether you’re trying to feng shui your bedroom, or you just want a little more structure to your actual bed, adding a headboard can help center and elevate your space. There are plenty of trending and stylish options, but Jasmine Roth has found a way to combine an accent wall with this bedding piece to create a really unique look that’s bound to take over 2025 design trends. Rather than just relying on your bedding structure to fill a portion of the wall it’s placed against, Roth’s idea is to cover one entire wall by the headboard so it acts as both art and a solid base for your mattress and frame. You can build your own to personalize your design, which makes this trend even more engaging and creative.

A DIY headboard to upgrade your room is certainly a great option for people who want to add luxury to their homes without spending a fortune. Creating your own wall to wall statement headboard does not have to be tricky or daunting. In fact, there are so many ways you can incorporate this trend to transform your space — it really comes down to how much (or how little) effort you want to put in.

Jasmine Roth’s DIY headboard consists of cushioned panels that she secured along the middle/lower portion of the wall, so it frames the bed and also creates an accent design that is both dimensional and textured. The batting underneath the velvet of Roth’s design brings a softness to the room, introducing a cozy, relaxing ambiance. You can DIY your own panels like these by using wood boards or plywood as the base. Cover the boards in a fabric of your choice, which is cut to size to fit the dimensions. Add stuffing or foam, then secure the fabric with a staple gun and glue. This also allows you to choose how big or small you make the headboard paneling.

If you prefer something a little more artistically inclined, you could take a page out of hotel aesthetics and use molding, paint, wallpaper, or other printed materials to create a headboard across the entire wall. The molding will help define and accent, then you can fill the inner portions of the molding with fabric or wallpaper to make your “panel” feature. Fabric especially is very on trend for wall coverings, as it introduces that softer, textured ambiance mentioned above.

For a really interesting take on this trend, why not breathe new life into old doors with a shabby chic headboard DIY and cover one entire wall with upcycled doors? You can paint them, stain them, or even cover them in wallpaper as well — the texture alone will bring dimension.
