It seems that purchasing headboards are a thing of the past with countless tutorials, exemplars and crafty ideas to tackle the project yourself. Our friends at ShelterPop couldn't agree more with Eugenia's latest take on fabric headboards -- cheap and stylish!

Paris-based interior designer Frédéric Méchiche wooed design lovers with this glorious take on an otherwise boring bedroom. Complete with a graphic, bold swag of fabric as a stand-in for a headboard, the look is equal parts dramatic and luxurious. Even better? We'd dare say the cost of re-creating the aesthetic would be well under $100. Try a more gauzy fabric for a romantic look, or dress it up with linen for a nature-inspired touch.

Forget pricey headboards; get creative and get to work. To inspire and give you a push in the right direction, here are a few of my favorite headboard techniques and tutorials... right here at DIY Life:
