22 ideas for creating and using a canopy

With the help of this selection, we will try to convince you that the canopy is not an outdated piece of decor, but a very effective way to make the bedroom more romantic and attractive, as well as change the design of the room quickly and inexpensively.

A modern option for decorating a bed. Of course, it is impossible to call the fabric on a brutal metal stand a full-fledged canopy, but this element undoubtedly became the main highlight of the interior.

Ruffle curtains make this bedroom especially cute. A suitable option for arranging a boudoir or a bedroom for a young lady

Pure classics. Only a canopy with simple, light curtains without extra bows or frills could fit into such an interior.

This bedroom is a prime example of how a canopy can do without textiles. It turned out to be enough of a metal frame, which clearly marked the boundaries of the sleeping place, the most private area of ​​any house

There is a lot of textiles in this bedroom, but all the details are chosen harmoniously, so that the fluffy canopy above the bed does not look too massive. In addition, its many folds are offset by the complete absence of curtains on the sides.

This is not just a bed – this is a love nest, for which the most passionate shade was chosen – bright red

Judging by the bright sneakers by the bed, this is a young girl’s room. With such an abundance of various pillows, the lush folds on the canopy would be inappropriate, but such a discreet and at the same time cute option in the form of a canopy-roof is just right

A bit of east in a very modern bedroom – a canopy that simply attaches to sticks suspended from massive tassel cords. The color scheme is very calm, classic, which did not prevent this canopy from becoming a highlight of the design

And such a canopy is ideal for a Scandinavian-style or country-style bedroom that strives for naturalness and simplicity.

For a canopy in a dark bedroom, it is better to use such light, almost transparent fabrics. In this case, you do not need to hide from the sun’s rays, so this option will be very useful.

The combination of delicate transparent fabric and a massive dark base of the canopy looks very unusual and can be used in any interior style

If you do not plan to purchase massive structures for a canopy in the bedroom, you can use this idea – the fabric flows freely from under the lampshade, making the bedroom more comfortable and intimate

Retro canopy hiding only the headboard. The fabric could be chosen with a pattern, for example, in small flowers, to brighten the room, but still have a vintage look

It is not at all necessary to attach the curtains to the base with ties, hooks, etc. You can simply throw a lightweight fabric over the wooden structure, allowing it to fall freely along the sides of the bed

The lack of traditional curtains on the window is compensated by the folds above the bed. Simple enough, so you can easily create such beauty with your own hands by choosing the right fabric and equipping the ceiling mounts

Roughly sanded logs as a base for a canopy? Why not! If the bed looks just as eco-friendly. Such a base will go well with thick twine and lightweight plain fabric.

If the canopy adorns only the headboard, you can choose a fairly dense fabric, the color of which should be combined with the bedding and the general color scheme of the bedroom. By the way, the fabric is again kept just on cords with large tassels.

A very simple option – no ruffles, multi-level folds and complex suspensions. Ordinary light natural fabric simply “lies” on a wooden base without thread, making this child’s room even more cute and homely

The bedroom of a young lady who, if desired, can always hide from the outside world behind a light canopy that moves freely along metal tubes on ordinary curtain rings

A surreal bed that is integrated with the canopy base. Thick fabric would be inappropriate here, so the owners did absolutely right, choosing this light option.

Bedroom in Mediterranean style. With such a wooden ceiling with beams, there was no need to equip a free-standing structure, so the mount was chosen perfectly

And finally, a canopy over a baby cot. What could be more attractive and cute! In a nursery, such a canopy can perform an important function – to protect the child from light and help him fall asleep during the day. Such a canopy is especially useful if the baby sleeps in the same room with his parents. Most often, crib canopies are made from natural materials, for example, linen or cotton

By the way, initially canopies were decorated only with thrones, church altars and ceremonial boxes, therefore they are still associated with power, prosperity, material well-being, and the high position of the family. In addition, the canopy can also perform quite specific useful functions, for example, protect from drafts, annoying insects and prying eyes. So choose the option you like and turn your bedroom into a charming retreat..
