DIY shutter headboard is a tried and true method for both decorating a bed, as well as providing practical use in the form of shielding from outside light and / or elements. A classic look developed over the years, shutters have been used for centuries, and can be installed either on the outside of a building or in the interior. There are lots of ending types to choose from and they are easy to install, which means all do-it-yourself builders with some hand tools and some free time on their hands can easily add shutters to all rooms in the house.

Measure the height and width of your DIY shutter headboard before purchasing the gaps before purchasing the right size. Measure in several different places in case the bed frame is not square, and use the largest measurement. Determine in advance if you want shutters that are larger than the bed, or those just covering the course of the frame itself. Buy ready-made shutters from your local home improvement shop or bespoke shutters from a local professional.
Use a tape measure and pen to draw a pad for the hanging strips or to which gaps will attach. These should lie against the sides of the DIY shutter headboard and will be at the same height as the actual shutters themselves. Use a drill and screws to mount hanging strips and double-plumb plumpness with a level as you go. Select a page of the window to install your first shutter. Keep the shutter against hanging bands, or have a friend help you keep it in place.
