How To Wall Mount A Headboard

Mounting a headboard to the wall is a great way to update the look of your bedroom and add a touch of style. It's also a relatively simple project that can be completed in a few hours with the right tools and materials.

Materials You'll Need

Headboard
Drill
Screws
Level
Measuring tape
Pencil

Instructions

1. Determine the height at which you want to hang the headboard. This will vary depending on the size of your bed and the headboard itself. A good rule of thumb is to hang the headboard so that the top of it is level with the top of your mattress.

2. Mark the location of the holes on the wall. Use a level to make sure that the holes are level.

3. Drill the holes into the wall. The size of the drill bit will depend on the size of the screws you are using.

4. Insert the screws into the holes. Leave about 1/2 inch of the screw exposed.

5. Hang the headboard on the screws. Make sure that the headboard is level and secure.

Tips

If you are hanging a heavy headboard, you may need to use additional screws or anchors to secure it to the wall.
Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could damage the headboard or the wall.
If you are not sure how to hang the headboard, it is always best to consult with a professional.
