A bed canopy elevates a master bedroom by creating a focal point that draws the eye to the ceiling. It can also highlight a theme or color, while serving as an opportunity to bring additional textures and colors into the room. The covering linens used for a canopy can also be changed easily without the cost of reupholstering an entire piece of furniture, giving it a unique versatility that most other pieces of bedding don’t offer.

The fabric you choose to hang can set the mood of your bed canopy. Light, sheer fabrics like voile or gauze let in air and light while evoking a sense of airiness and romance. Bolder patterns like florals or paisleys create a warm and welcoming feel. Solids, casual stripes, or embroidered and Damask pillow covers add a charming touch to any canopy style.

Creating a Cozy Reading Nook with a Bed Canopy

You can purchase a canopy kit that includes rods or tracks, clips or rings to secure the curtains, and instructions for mounting. Alternatively, you can use rods or tracks already installed in your home, ensuring you have the right size to cover the width of your bed. If you’re a renter, adhesive hooks or removable wall strips can help avoid drilling into drywall.

Curtains with trims, tiebacks, or tassels can also elevate the look of your bed canopy. Choose trimmings that work well with your overall room décor to foster cohesion. For example, a simple valance made from pristine white linen drapes hangs from sleek black rods in this bedroom, complementing the bedding and wallpaper for a seamless look.
