50 Headboard Bench Ideas

 

You’re looking at the best place to find headboard bench ideas. These repurposed bed projects are perfect for your patio, home and more. Every project has a complete tutorial to show you just how the bench was made from a bed headboard and more.

If you’re new here, welcome! If you’ve been around for a while, you are probably familiar with my headboard benches; maybe that’s how you even found me. I made my first headboard bench in 2009, and I still enjoy making them as much today as I always have.

Each headboard is different, which brings its own challenge to make a bench. That’s part of the thrill that makes me keep loving everything I do.

I will tell you that using a Kreg jig (affiliate link) makes building headboard benches much easier than it was back when I first started repurposing headboards. I hope you find something to inspire you to pick up a headboard at the thrift store or maybe even off the side of the road.

Headboard Corner Bench Projects

Why do I like to make headboard corner benches? It’s a great way to use an oversized headboard to make a small bench. Cutting it in half takes up a lot less space and gives a unique place to sit. Use a corner bench in your foyer or the corner of your master bedroom.
