Curtain Call
Take a guest room from generic to genteel with this easy but impactful head-
board idea, which draws inspiration from medieval tapestries. Hang fabric
drapes (ready-made or DIY in a print you love) behind the beds from basic
steel curtain rods, which are adjustable and quick to install with brackets.
They’ll jut out from the wall just so, giving any bed frame a four-star finish-
ing touch—and your visitors a dreamy place to sleep.

THE HEIGHT OF STYLE
For presidential-suite propor-
tions, hang your drapery
panels so that they skim the
floor and extend two inches
wider than the bed on both
sides. Ours are 66 inches
long, but standard 63- or 84-
inch ones work, too—just
mount the rods accordingly.
ABOVE AND
BEYOND
If you have extra fabric,
use it to upholster an
accent chair or stitch up
a few decorative pillows.
