A guide to wall mount headboard installation

DIY for anybody seems like a daunting task, one that you just want to ignore and wish would go away.

However, it is important to keep on top of these things to ensure your living space remains a presentable, welcoming space for those visiting. 

Here is our concise step by step guide to installing wall mount headboards to your bedroom wall. By following these steps the days of hating hands-on tasks are long gone!

Items that may be of use: 

Tape measure

Thick tape

Pencil

Drill

Allen wrench


Step 1

The first step is to make a judgement on where you want your headboard to sit on your wall. Put your pen and tape to good use here as you will want to be making notes/markings as to where the headboard will be mounted.


Step 2

Whether your headboard is for a single bed or a king size double, they are going to vary in size, shape and structure.

We advise just laying out the headboard on a flat service to understand where the wall mounts will be fitted.


Step 3 

Next you want to be attaching the headboard to the desired wall of choice. We recommend using a stud finder or a magnetic object as you will be able to work out where it’s best to place the headboard. 

From there use the mount hangers to attach the headboard to the wall.

Step 4 

Now it’s time to start aligning the hangers with the back of your headboard. Ensure you are accurate with your alignments to ensure your finished product is presentable and doesn’t look “off”.

Step 5

Finally this somewhat tedious task is near completion! It wasn’t that hard right? Procrastination probably took more out of you…

At this stage, everything should be fitted perfectly and ready to go. From here you need to lift and slide the headboard into place. Depending on the size of your board, you may need some assistance.

Spoilt for choice

Interior design has become a hot topic in recent years, this leaves you the consumer with more choice than ever when trying to make your ideal living space. 

Here at Magna Beds, we have a selection of wall-mounted headboards that may fit your criteria.

Whichever option you go for, we want to assure you that everything is in your hands. We offer a wide range of fabrics and colours along with the traditional bed sizing so you can have full authority over your order. 

Our top pick at the moment would be a wall-mounted headboard with a leather finish. This offers low maintenance whilst still enabling the slick clean finish every bedroom/spare bedroom needs.

Excellent, wonderful, awsome, service. i picked some samples first, then ordered it online. it came in about 10 days, from a u.k. company. The delivery person was wonderful, so helpful. They were 2 single stand alone headboards, i loved them, i ordered the Lipped chesterfield upholstered ones, fabric, naples soft velvet, with buttons to match. i keep looking at them in the bedroom and thinking how wonderful they are, with the jewel buttons down each side. the company is easy to phone and speak to someone who told me when i would receive them, tracking was great. i would recommend this company and buy again.

We are very pleased with our headboard. We looked at similar ones in bed stores which were at least 3 times the price so we were a bit dubious. But this was unfounded as the quality and finish is excellent. It is solidly made and very heavy. It was made to order. The communication was excellent from order to delivery. It arrived on time and very well wrapped/protected. We would happily buy from Magna Beds again and would recommend.
