Bed Canopies FAQ

How do I hang a bed canopy?

This can be a simple or complex procedure. A poster bed is the easiest way to drape fabrics around your bed, and doesn't require any installation. However, bed canopies come in many shapes and sizes, and even if you don't own a poster bed, you can still create a romantic canopy.

There are many creative ideas for hanging fabrics directly from your ceiling, using round metal hooks, curtain rods, a coronet, and more. By affixing any one of these items to your ceiling and around your bed, you can create a stage for luxurious fabrics to be draped over your bed in royal fashion.

How long should the canopy material be?

As long as you want, but most bed canopies are made to touch the floor. When the extra length of fabric pools on the floor, you will be even more pleased with the elegant character that your bed canopy adds to your room.

What materials work best for a canopy?

You don't want the material to be overbearing compared to the rest of the bedroom's design. Your bedroom is one of the best places in the house to be creative with interior design. Find a fabric that you love, a fabric that you would make you happy every morning that you wake up, and give that one a try.
