How to Mount a Headboard to a Wall

A headboard can add style and comfort to your bed, and it can also help to protect your wall from damage. If you're looking to mount a headboard to your wall, there are a few things you'll need to do to ensure that it's done properly.

Materials you'll need:

Headboard
Mounting brackets
Screws
Drill
Level
Pencil

Instructions:

Determine the height at which you want to mount the headboard. The most common height is between 24 and 36 inches from the floor to the top of the headboard. However, you can adjust the height to suit your personal preferences.
Mark the location of the mounting brackets on the wall. Use a level to make sure that the brackets are level. Then, mark the location of the holes for the screws with a pencil.
Drill pilot holes for the screws. This will help to prevent the wood from splitting when you drive in the screws.
Attach the mounting brackets to the wall. Use the screws that came with the brackets.
Hang the headboard on the mounting brackets. Make sure that the headboard is level before you tighten the screws.

Tips:

If you're not sure how to mount the headboard, you can always hire a professional to do it for you.
Be sure to use the correct type of screws for the type of wall you have. For example, if you have drywall, you'll need to use drywall screws.
If you're mounting the headboard to a plaster wall, you'll need to use plaster anchors.
Once you've mounted the headboard, be sure to check it regularly to make sure that it's still secure.
