If you don’t want, don’t need or don’t have the space for a headboard in your bedroom but you still feel the need to replace it with something, artwork would be a great solution. A large picture or poster hanging over the bed would be a wonderful choice. All you have to do is go shopping and purchase either a painting or simply a poster-sized print of your favorite artwork. Put the poster in a frame and hang it above the bed. You can choose only one if it’s big enough or two or more if they’re smaller.

If a poster is not what you had in mind, maybe you can create something a little more romantic. For that you’ll need some fabric.Purchase 12 yards of fabric of your choice and it into four pieces of equal dimensions. Then take one end of each length of fabric and staple them to the center of the ceiling, above the middle of the bed. Then you can attach a large drapery ring or a hook above each corner of the bed and drape the fabric strips towards the rings. You just need to slip a strip through the ring and then let the fabric hang down. It’s a stylish solution and the effect is stronger than that created by a headboard.

Now it’s time to use the fishing line. You’ll need four 12-inch lengths of fishing line and you have to tie them to the embroidery hoop and then tie the ends together.
