Post Bed Canopy

Stylish, Comfortable and Beautiful : Canopy Beds For Your Home

Bed canopies are a great way to revamp your room. They are bit old fashioned but they have never been out of fashion. Many beds come without canopy structures but they can be adorned with unique and beautiful headboard clothing. Whether you are looking for modern or traditional models, this canopy bed is one of the best ways to add a dash of style to your bedroom. These beds are available in wood and metal frames. They are used in the construction of modern canopy beds, that usually have foot and headboard feature with sharp and geometric designs.

Decorative beds are very similar to four poster bed. Usually these beds have four corner pillars extending four feet high or more above the mattress. They are simply an extension from the bed and with a beautiful cloth sheet over them.

Nowadays these beds come in two categories, first is traditional and second is contemporary. Most of the beds are made of metal rod frames, Victoria aesthetics and intricately carved wood frames and posts. Canopies are available in different shapes and sizes. You may find one that suits your decoration plan.

Various varieties are available such as Standard, Curtains, Ring, Shelf, Crown, and Swagged which help you to make your home more beautiful. Here is a little information about canopy beds that might be helpful in choosing your style.

Standard Bed: A standard bed comes with the frame of canopy bed. These beds have bars to create actual frame, and link four posters to support a roof above the bed. The roof of the bed is covered in fabric and may hang down the sides to the bed itself to creating an enclosure. One of the main advantages of the standard is that they can be easily moved from one place to another. These canopies are not fixed to the walls or any where but are a part of the bed.

Curtain Bed: This is a simple way to convert your ordinary bed into a canopy bed. Join curtain rods on the ceiling above the bed to hang the curtains. The ceiling becomes itself canopy of the bed. You can add ceiling lamps in the middle of the bed. Before going to buy canopy be selective because you need some consideration like the color of the wall, furniture available in the room and over all structure of your bedroom.

Ring: Ring beds don’t cover and enclose the bed but gives canopy look to four corner of the bed. Suspend a durable metal ring above all the corners of the bed. From the ring you can use luxurious fabric that rests lightly on the floors around the bed.

Shelf Canopy: These canopies does not cover the entire bed, it only covers the head of the canopy. It is made by hanging a fabric covered shelf high above the bed to develop a short of overhang. Cloth hangs down from the back and from all the side of the shelf to create a semi-enclosure at the head of the bed. If your shelf is deep then you can suspend down lights in a lower place for reading in bed.

Crown: Crown canopy is very similar to the shelf bed. They stand over the head of the bed but, shelf bed runs the entire width of the bed and cloth hangs straight. And crown canopy is much restricted in length than the width of the bed.

Swagged Canopy: Swagged beds are different in one way from the shelf and crown canopy. They have simple rod which is extended above at the center of the head. Cloth goes over the rods and extends down to rods around a foot or two foot above from all the edge of the bed. These swagged beds look like elegant tent with the effect of graceful triangle above the pillows.

All the above mentioned canopy beds add more beauty and elegance to your home with their pleasant features. They are available in five different types and patterns which help to make your room more comfortable.

Can anyone find a similar beadspread to the posted picture?

So I'm redoing my bedroom and I decided to go for the classical, french boudoir theme. (Seventeen magazine idea) I have a black rod iron canopy bed and i want my color themes to be gold, pink, and maybe purple in accents to the black bed.
I found this beautiful bedspread and I really wanted it, but reviews said it was poor in quality and it didn't last long if you were not extremely careful.
Can anyone find a bedspread that fits this theme? The beadspread I wanted was at
