1. Planning and Spacing
Use your existing small headboard as a guide for spacing.
Floor-to-ceiling headboard walls look best when balanced, so place two brick molds on either side and secure them with painter's tape temporarily. This allows you to step back and assess the spacing before permanent attachment.
2. Securing the Outer Edges
Once satisfied with the spacing, use a nail gun to secure the brick molding in place.
The outer edges will frame the entire headboard wall, providing a clean and polished look.
3. Establishing the Center Pieces
Dedicate time to space the center pieces between the outer edges evenly.
Once pleased with the arrangement, use the nail gun to secure them in place.
Now continue adding molding making sure to evenly space each piece.
To achieve a seamless finish, apply caulking along the sides of the brick molding.
This step ensures a uniform appearance, making your floor-to-ceiling headboard look like one continuous piece.
4. Applying Paint
After allowing the caulking to dry, it's time to add a fresh coat of paint. Opt for several coats of white paint to give your headboard wall a cohesive and polished appearance.
5. Final Touches and Decor
Once the paint is dry, move the furniture back into the room, make the beds, and dive into decorating. This easy DIY headboard not only adds visual interest but is also an affordable bedroom upgrade.

The supposed “ brick molds” aren’t shaped like bricks . They just look like vertical pieces of wood. ?????

If you look at the shape from the end, it is rectangular. I believe they use the shape to name the pieces this way, for example the way quarter round is named is due to it having a quarter of a circle shape when you look at it from the end. If you look on home depot you can see the various brick moulding if you just search it that way. The pieces used in this project are also known as s4s molding. You should be able to find this very plain shape, or whatever works best for your project, in the hardware store. They have lots of different versions and some are more decorative than others. I hope this helps!
