Ikea Tarva headboard for a toddler. Cloud wallpaper on the sleeping side. A nightlight (or cars, stuffed animals, etc.) fits on the shelf. At the back, a small wall is created, which becomes the basis for a crafting area. Bins for pens, etc., will be attached to it so that the walls remain free of drill holes for the time being. With this project, I've created little rooms within a large room. A cozy nook for sleeping and a nice little desk by the window. And the bed is much sturdier!

How I Completed This Project

The Ikea Tarva bed headboard (140.0 x 200.0) covered with primed MDF. Panels directly screwed onto the bed. Raised a tiny bit off the ground to prevent damage. MDF covered with non-woven wallpaper, ensuring the wallpaper hangs over all edges and stapled down. Finished with spruce slats (over the staples) secured with wood glue and nails, around the headboard. Lightly sanded to prevent splinters and sharp edges. The bed is now quite heavy, so don't forget the felt pads under the legs.
