The focal point of any bedroom should be the bed. For a welcoming, eye-catching bed, choose a canopy bed frame. When decorating a room with a canopy bed, use the style of your canopy as the inspiration for the rest of the space. Canopy beds can work in many decor styles, such as romantic, country or even tropical inspired. Does this Spark an idea?
Romantic Retreat
Use a canopy bed as the jumping off point of a romantic retreat. Select a canopy that is made of dark wood or wrought iron and features curved arches and decorative finials. Bring in dark wood dressers and bedside tables. Drape the canopy with luxurious fabrics in jewel-toned colors, such as velvet, satin or silk to create a regal look in your bedroom. Use luxurious fabrics to cover the bed. Paint the walls a silvery gray color and frame them with decorative crown molding. Display pictures in ornate frames and hang them on the walls or set them on dressers and bedside tables.
Country Chic
Bring a whimsical, country-chic feeling to your bedroom with a canopy bed. A brass or whitewashed wood canopy bed is ideal for this space. Drape cotton gingham or French toile fabric from the canopy. Use a pale-colored paint, such as lilac, pastel pink or baby blue on the walls. Light wood furniture accented with delicate, hand-painted details or wicker pieces suit the look of this space. Dress the bed with soft lace or patchwork linens. Hang a country landscape print on a wall in the room. Display bouquets of dried flowers in pitchers. A braided rug is an ideal covering for the floor in a country-chic bedroom.
Rustic-Themed
If you enjoy nature, bring a touch of the outdoors into your bedroom with a rustic canopy and decor. Use a canopy bed constructed from wooden logs. Hang linen fabric off of the canopy in a sage green, tan or golden yellow. Use a brushed suede comforter on the bed. Use a neutral, paint color on the walls, such as ecru or tan. Place a large fern in a decorative pot on the floor. Display prints of natural items, such as leaves or flowers on the walls.
Beachside Bungalow
Give your bedroom the feeling of a relaxing beach-side bungalow. Instead of using a bed frame that has a built-in canopy, use a simple white wood frame and suspend a canopy above it from the ceiling. Use hook-and-eye's and filament to suspend white gauze fabric above the bed. Make the bed with a cotton fabric that features a delicate beach-themed print. Use sea foam green or aqua blue paint on the upper half of the walls and hang white or light wood wainscoting on the lower portion of the walls. Dressers and other furnishings made of rattan fit in well with beach-themed decor. Hang a beach landscape painting on a wall. Display shells, beach glass and sand in clear canisters.
