How to Make a Plain White Headboard for a Queen Size Bed

Changing the look of your bedroom can be as simple as changing the look of your headboard, or adding a headboard, especially in a room with a larger bed like a queen-size bed. As traditionally large structural pieces in a room, headboards immediately attract attention. Creating a plain white square headboard for a queen-size bed is an effective way to put structural emphasis on the bed without creating a piece that is too visually stimulating.
