DIY Headboard For A Small Room | Shiplap Boards

- I made a headboard out of shiplap boards. This DIY headboard is especially useful in small rooms since it is secured right to the wall and doesn't take up much room. The shiplap boards are very thin and come in packs that are ready to go. There are really minimal tools and steps to this woodworking project of making a DIY headboard for a small room. It's a very easy woodworking project!

That looks slick, and easy. I just worry that now it'd be weird to NOT have a bed there. It could make for a cool little accent to have by a reading chair or something, though. Either way, nice video, Bruce! You're really milking that trip up to Lakeside for some great content.
We put him to work and got a lot of task done while helping Bruce get some great content!!
I think you might be on to something for an accent for a reading nook. For this room, there was a window on another wall, so this was really the only wall that a bed could go on. It just made sense for this space. Yeah! We knocked out a ton of projects in like 3 days while I was there.
Quick, easy, and looks great. The DIY trifecta!
Thanks so much, Robert! It was really fulfilling to start and finish a whole project in under 2 hours.
Nice Bruce. I think that gives the room a unique look.
Thank you very much! I think it worked well for this room.
Nice job, Bruce! I always knew those KY guys were a bit backwards but now I know they also like to install their outlets upside down!
Haha...this is actually the way you install them in commercial construction. The theory is that if a plug is slightly pulled away from the outlet and something falls in between then the ground will prevent it from hitting the hot and the common...resulting in a potential fire hazard. Too many years in commercial construction I guess. Haha
Thanks, Drew! I had no clue the reason, but just saw their reply. Makes sense to me!
@@lakesidewoodworksky563 Making the outlet look like a surprised smiley face is profoundly more important than mitigating a potential fire hazard. What a rookie.
@Lakeside Woodworks Ky but won’t the electricity come out upside down? 🙃
Awesome explanation man 👍🏻
Thanks so much! Glad it made sense.
Awesome project and video - I really like the tip about securing the middle of the vertical boarder pieces and then pivoting slightly to get a tight miter...super simple and effective!
Thanks, Ethan! I thought that was a great tip Ryan had. Because you would notice the miter at the top more than if the bottom was slightly off.
Looks great Bruce!
Thanks so much, Greg!
Love the video!!! Glad to get this project knocked off the list too.
Thanks, guys! Appreciate you having me up and letting me build with you!
A lot of hotels build headboards on the wall.
Great video brother! Your upside-down electrical outlet is giving me an aneurysm! That cut scene to pimp your IG was hilarious. Three at once lol
Ha ha. Sorry to mess with your OCD. Yeah, I go hard with cutting boards.
That is often done so that if the outlet comes slightly unplugged and something falls on it, it wont spark. The ones in my house are the same way.
The Every Maker - Nick Yep! I just found that out too!
Looks great Bruce! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Appreciate that, Fred!
Great video Bruce! I like this design, too. I might have to recreate this for our bedroom, too. I'm thinking I may mount the whole thing to a thin sheet of plywood so that I can adjust it on the wall left and right. Because, you know, the bed shifts. ;)
Ha ha. I get it. Thanks, AC! Putting it on some plywood is a good idea.
10/10 would highly recommend.
Thanks! Glad you liked!
Great space-saving idea!
Looks good!
Thanks so much, Mario!
Great and informative video Bruce.
Thank you, Shane!
Another great video Bruce!! This is a perfect project to lift a room in less than a day. Good for new DIYers:)
Thanks, Chris! You’re very right...nice & simple.
Awesome work and great video! Videos are getting better and better Bruce! I did something similar in a bathroom, but the lady didn’t want me to use a bad nailer so I had to put the adhesive on the board and press it to the wall and hold it for a least 10 minutes.. took forever to do but turned out nice when it was done.
Thanks so much! Appreciate you watching.Well, that works too!
Looks awesome! Great work and a perfect space saver
Thanks so much, David!
looks good
Thanks so much!
Great video Man! The build in place is an awesome idea 🤙🏻
Thanks a ton! It really takes up no space.
Great Video, job well done! To those with OCD, some builders install the outlet upside down to identify the switched wall outlet. (The wall plug that's controlled by the switch on the wall) the only other suggestion I have is that it would have been great if you had a link to the product itself. Thank you.
Thanks, Samuel! I linked to some stuff that looked exactly the same. We got these kits from Lowe’s and the frame boards came from them too.
Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Never thought of building the head board right on the wall, that would definitely save some space. Not moving the bed to the other all though...
I hadn’t thought of it either. It was their idea. Good thing about this room was the bed couldn’t really go on any other wall.
First!
I was watching first, you just jumped ahead to the comments Caleb!!
@@jeremymeadows263 If you ain't cheatin' you ain't tryin ;D
This looks great! Wondering if you might have done it on a thin piece of plywood then hung up so it’s not in one spot? I love this look and the supplies you used. I’m thinking I might try a project like this one.
Yeah, that could be an option also. The homeowner just wanted to put it straight in the wall, so that’s what we did.
The outlets are upsidedown! Lol
Me: He's gonna show how to route shiplap, finish it, and install it all in 9 minutes? ... ohhhhhhh
Looks nice !
That would have been a feat for sure. Ha ha
That's a great result, all in all, what would you say it cost for materials?
Thank you! I’ll find out and report back. I didn’t purchase the materials. ;)
Looks great! It's amazing how much faster you can be if you are not filming. You could have been done in 1 hour 🤣🤣
I think you're right about that. Thanks!
This is the easiest way I've seen this done so far , did you glue the shiplap before nailing ? It didn't look like it and how long were the nails ? My Brother wants me to do this for him , one more thing , did you use 1 X 4 for the frame?
Hi John...yes, we used some adhesive to stick it to the wall. I think we were using 2" nails. The 1x4 stuff for the frame came in the shiplap kit that we got from Lowe's. Pretty cool.
It's more like a decorative bed headboard.
That turned out real nice! Another top quality DIY build.
Why are the plugs upside down though?
Thanks, Stephen! No clue! Ha ha
Shiplap is upside down. I understand why you did it that way, I think you should have mentioned it.
Your outlet is rightside up. Nice. I used to install them that way, I changed 'cause I got tired if customers whining about it. They have gotten stronger tho, I rarely see one busted at the ground hole anymore. Nice job.
Thanks, Michael! The shiplap is upside down? I just learned about the outlet being oriented this way today.
I'm wondering why did you use shiplap all the way to the baseboard? Most headboards stop where the mattress or box spring begins.
This was in my friend's house...that's just how they wanted it to look. You could for sure do it another way and have it floating if you wanted.
So today I listened to the new podcast and watched this video. I’m gonna be honest with you, between the mood music, the “this headboard won’t shake”, and the “three at a time” parts, added to Marks cat calls at Drew and his geriatric undressing, I’m a little worried about you fellas. 🤪🤪🤪
Cool little project. How do you like the cordless nailer?
ha ha. Yeah, it can get a little out of hand. That cordless nailer that Milwaukee has is my favorite. I've used a few now, but it just works so well and it is so much quieter than the others I've used. It's pricey though.
Did you have to move the electrical box out to make up for the thickness of the shiplap? Looks great!
Thank you! We had to unscrew the face plate from the junction box a bit but not much. It was very secure and for the face plate right back on.
Is there much damage come time to remove from the walls?
I’m sure it would damage the drywall if removed but this is what the homeowner chose.
Not sure about using adhesive..won't that tear up the drywall if you wanted to take it down later?
Yes, it likely will. These folks decided to go that route. If you don't want to redo the wall, a different method might be good for you.
the frame around shiplap. what size 1x3?? or 1x4
also. how many boxes did you use for this head board??
I believe these were 1x4. They all came in a pack from Lowe's.
I think maybe 1.5. Can’t remember
So what happends if I I moving or moving to a other house how can I remove
The way I showed doing it, it is semi-permanent. However, you could easily mount a thin piece of 1/2" plywood to the wall into the studs, and then put the shiplap boards onto that plywood, covering the screws. Then, if you ever needed to move, you could get it off of there without tearing up the wall.
Why do you use adhesive and nails
That’s the method the homeowner preferred so we went with it.
Not to be salty, but why wouldn't you start on the bottom and go up?
The way the tongue and groove was on these, we had to work it this way. It just would not have worked starting from the bottom.
I like the design but no way am I gluing a headboard to the walls. There are great hanging strips that would hold it with only two screws in the wall.
I completely understand. That’s what these people wanted in their home.
I probably wouldn't do that for a headboard, but it might look nice doing a half way up the wall all the way around the room? meh, maybe. I don't have any design skills. lol.
I could see that working also!
Looks Great Bruce!
Appreciate that, Steve! Thanks for stopping by!
