Canopy bed is a timeless trend that can instantly turn your bedroom into a luxurious retreat and even give it a royal touch.

Have a small bedroom? Opt for a simple design!
Canopy beds need not always be elaborate and extravagant. If your bedroom is small in size, opt for canopy designs that match the color palette of your room. Go for a drape that would seamlessly blend with the rest of the room and the furniture. A simple design will not look too cluttered, but at the same time, will add a certain zing to the bed. You can even fix a drapery rod to the ceiling, one over each end of the bed and use tiebacks to keep the long fabric in place.
Give it a romantic touch
Who wouldn't want to wake up in a comfortable, peaceful bed with filtered light streaming in through transparent draperies? Make your bed high on drama with silk, velvet, sheer, organza or chiffon fabric for the drapes.

Choose the right fabric
The traditional fabrics used for canopy beds are silk, velvet, tapestry or floral chintz. These days cotton, chiffon, organza, and sheer are also widely used. Bed hangings for canopy beds are usually cut in a way that when they are hung, they touch the floor. The panel should extend to the floor on all sides. The tiebacks will pull the fabric off the floor, so ensure that you cut them a tad longer. When you clean the floor, lift the fabric completely. Soft, tranquil hues can help get a good night’s sleep.
