Try these 13 fantastic proposals to make a DIY sea-themed headboard

Who said that the sea should only be enjoyed while on holiday? There are many of us who want to rediscover the holiday atmosphere even after our return to the city at the end of summer. And what better place than our bedrooms, the place par excellence where we relax, unwind and (try to) prolong the feeling of being on holiday?

There are many projects you can carry out to furnish your bedroom in a seaside-type theme and you can start with the headboard of your bed. Amongst the many proposals, there are many that can easily be done with DIY projects and recycled/raw materials.

If you're short of ideas, we suggest below 13 DIY, sea-themed headboard projects: let yourself be inspired.

1. Beach palisade or headboard?

Quickly and easily create a headboard that looks like a seaside palisade in the color of the ocean: star-shaped holes will add even greater customisation.

2. Surfboards

Old surfboards will always take you back to happy memories of days spent at the beach. And seeing them when you wake up in the morning, will start your day on the right foot!

3. Dreams of sand and the sea

Get some wooden planks, perhaps from a pallet, paint them in different shades of blue and mount them vertically as the headboard of your bed. Topped with a decorative fish, they will be even more perfect.

4. DIY bamboo headboard

Bamboo canes make us immediately feel like we are on the beach and for this reason, they are perfect for marine-themed headboards.

5. Headboard with a seaside landscape

Create a headboard by inserting a seascape picture into a frame that resembles a window. If you use an old, shabby-chic style door for the frame, it will really look like a way out to the beach.

6. Headboard painted in a seaside theme

Coral, seahorses and shells are amongst the most popular icons of the seaside; build your headboard with simple horizontal planks that reach the ceiling. Once painted, they will be perfect for creating a seaside feel.

7. Boat oars

Old boat oars can still have a use if used as a headboard for your bed.

8. Wood and shells headboard

A rickety wooden fence and a string of shells will immediately take you back to your seaside holidays.

9. A net to catch beautiful dreams

A fishing net will be the perfect headboard for your bed. Decorate it with shells and starfish to really feel like you're at the seaside.

10. A bamboo curtain

Bamboo blinds are perfect for keeping the heat out and providing shade. So why not hang up a bamboo curtain as a headboard? It will give you sweet dreams.

11. Sea-blue shutters

An old blue shutter will be a perfect headboard for your bed, especially if you love the seaside and the shabby-chic style.

12. Waves as a headboard

A sea waves headboard is a wonderful idea to bring the holiday atmosphere into your city bedroom.

13. A picture of the sea

If you are not good with DIY but still want a marine-themed headboard, it is not necessary to change the furniture in your bedroom. A painting of a seascape above your bed will be enough to remind you of your seaside holidays.
