Hi Kriti,

I'm a designer - I have done several low budget bed-backs. Without knowing your decor/style, one idea you might consider is to use doors you can purchase at a big box store (hollow core are very reasonable) or shop flea markets or Craig's list to get old, used, paneled doors. Depending on the size of your bed you may need one or two doors butted together. Paint them the color of your trim or an accent color. Mount them to the wall with a cleat so they hang vertically just above the base moulding and make sure the doors don't move - they must be fixed firmly to the wall. You can also use one door horizontally to look like a headboard. Doors are typically 80" tall. Horizontal works best on a king size bed. Vertically, the doors will range from about 24" to 36" wide. One may work for a twin size. Add another for larger beds. If using vintage doors, fill the holes from the hardware and sand smooth before painting. It's a great look! I'll attach a how-to video from bh&g that will show you how. They cut the doors down at the bottom to make them shorter. Old shutters also can be used the same way! Good luck!
