DIY: A Simple, Fresh Headboard Hack

Recently in our inbox: the new spring collection from Morrow Soft Goods. Besides the heirloom-like textiles for bed and bath, something else also caught our eye: a simple, ad-hoc yet impactful “headboard” that can be switched out whenever you please.

Have a look at the idea, styled four ways—to be filed under Why Didn’t We Think of This?

Above: For this impactful yet unfussy headboard hack, all you need is a pretty sheet and some hooks or tacks (we like the oversized silvery ones Morrow Soft Goods used). Shown here on the bed: the Emmanuella Coverlet in the Celeste colorway; $249 and available for preorder. Above: Blue on blue. The Emmanuella Coverlet in Marin pairs with Hemp Cotton Pillowcases in Oceano and a ‘headboard’ in a similar hue, tacked up just so. Above: A simple white sheet pairs well with the embroidered, heirloom-like Marta Coverlet in Natural/Azure; $325. And it’s easy to clean—just un-pin and wash with your regular bedding.  Above: A color-blocked approach (with the Ruffle Pillowcase Set in Percale; $95). Just add tacks.
