Materials: Ikea Malm Bedframe, plywood, batting, fabric, staple gun, L brackets, screws
Description: I owned the Ikea Malm bedframe and wanted to add height to my headboard. With a quick trip to a local hardware and fabric store, I came home with plywood, L- brackets, screws, a staple gun, batting, and fabric. In a couple hours I completely transformed my bed from blah to BAM!

I first added 18" in height to the headboard by attaching a piece of plywood that matched the width of the Ikea frame. I did this with (3) L-brackets each requiring (2) screws and a scrap piece of plywood using (8) screws.
I next wrapped the plywood and then the entire "new" headboard in a couple sheets of batting stapling it across the back on the sides and top.
The last step was wrapping my heightened headboard in the linen fabric I chose stapling it again on the back across the top and sides.
It really was a piece of cake and I love the visual impact my headboard now has in the room!
