A King Canopy Bed Is The Show Piece Of Your Bedroom
A king canopy bed can be the centerpiece of your bedroom, and can transform the spot you sleep into a show place. Your bed can reflect your own personality and style, and a king canopy bed makes a statement that you have discriminating and demanding tastes. The king canopy bed is not only a place of rest, it is also a center of recuperation, rest, recharge, and possibly romance. You can add a king canopy bed to your master bedroom to demonstrate to others that you have a unique and special taste not commonly found.
A king canopy bed has our post that uses rods for connections and stability located at the top. What you normally do is adorn these rods with beautiful and elegant fabrics that generate a charm and grandeur not commonly seen since medieval times. A canopy bee dates back to the dark ages, during a time when silver plated knights roamed the country side on white stallions and rescued beautiful damsels in distress. Because in the middle ages houses were not constructed as well as they are today, the beds were draped with cloth to protect slumberers from porous roofs. Dirt, small rocks, and dust would commonly find their way though these roofs, and the canopy was a useful shield to keep this undesirable material from falling on occupants. For royalty and other wealthy citizens, the canopy also acted to generate warmth, privacy, and gave the bedroom an air of ceremonial importance.
The king canopy bed you find today tried to recreate some of this medieval magic. The bed is adorned with graceful lines of fabrics, using outstanding craftsmanship, and utilized ornate curves and bold shapes. You can find some of these beds in metal, but most of the time they are made from hardwoods. If you are fortunate, you may even inherit an heirloom king canopy bed from an ancestor, but these types of beds can be valued highly and are put away from every day use to maintain the value of the bed. People who sleep in a canopy bed do so to create an environment that is as attractive as possible, while still maintaining outstanding comfort. These beds appeal to folks who are mostly adventurous, romantic at heart, and appreciate things of a bygone era.
A king canopy bed can be massive, and may require special attention to get it assembled properly in your bedroom. The frame is usually monstrous, not commonly found in a usual bed showroom floor. It is large and solid, so much so that several people are required to carry it into your bedroom. And since these beds are not designed to be disassembled, you may need to hire a professional move to get your canopy bed setup in your room. Even with these challenges, your king canopy bed will soon be your most treasured piece of furniture you own. You will want to located your new king canopy bed is the area of your room that occupies the central focus of attention. It is here that you will want to drape the canopy with a beautiful and elegant fabric, to put the finishing touches on your new masterpiece. You will soon be enamored with your king canopy bed, and even wonder how you ever lived without before.

Update Your Bedroom With Striking Bed Canopies
With summer and warmer weather approaching fast it is a great time to consider abandoning your thick duvet and throws and replacing them with fewer togs and bright and breezy interior designs which are crisp, clean and very summery!
Bedrooms can be transformed into real show stoppers by re-vamping the way you think about the style and colours you use. Basic 'rules' of using white to bounce as much natural light and sunshine around the room remains to be one of the most popular bedroom design styles which creates a wonderful relaxing atmosphere.
Keep things simple to create stunning rooms which are relaxing and invigorating at the same time! Crisp white or cream bedding is ideal for coordinating with any colour scheme and sticking to these pale shades also provides the opportunity to inject a vibrant colour into the room in a chic and stylish way.
If you have a four poster style bed frame you could replace the canopy with light voile fabrics to create a wonderful sensual look and a practical way to keep from being eaten alive by pesky mosquitoes!
One of the latest bedroom style trends is to have an overhead canopy if you don't have a four poster bed. There are of course the more traditional princess style canopies which have a circular fitting suspended from the ceiling or fixed on the wall above the head end of the head which work well in bedrooms with more traditional designs and are ideal for creating princess themes in little girl's bedrooms. Opt for pretty pinks to give a 'Barbie Doll' type appearance!
Contemporary and modern homes can incorporate the latest variations on a bed canopy by suspending a length of fabric either above the bed from head to foot or across the width the of the bed. These simple fabric canopies are easy to make and fix into place. All you need is four eyelet rings, the type used for hanging traditional net curtain wires. The size of the eyelets and the fixing needs to be substantial enough to hold the weight of the fabric, otherwise the whole thing may fall down on you in the night!
One distinct advantage to these canopies is the ability to choose gorgeous fabric designs which have a striking pattern as the entire pattern will be seen, alternatively this is the ideal opportunity to use a fabric which has an image as the whole picture will be seen and not lost in folds of the fabric as with curtains.
Choose bright colours or opt for simple stripes to give a nautical feel to the room. For a sensual touch try using beautiful silk or faux silk in orange, electric blues or emerald green to create wonderful Bedouin styles. Japanese themes are also a calming style trends which include the uses of cherry blossom pinks and white.
Fabulous varieties of wonderful fabric designs can be easily obtained from high street or online curtain fabric suppliers and are a cost effective way to create stunning bed canopies to suit your interior design theme.

I only have 8' celing with a ceiling fan. I would love to get a canopy bed but most are 81" or taller. I measured and it doesn't leave much clearance between the fan and the top of the canopy rails and am afraid the bed will look to big. Has anyone put a canopy bed in a bedroom with 8' ceilings and/or have photos they don't mind sharing?
Here is the canopy bed I'm wanting to buy at LNT. http://www.lnt.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1444044&cp=1331609.1331971.1772888&view=all&filter=yes&fCat=1772888&fpricesort=priceAscending&parentPage=family

A crown canopy makes a dramatic statement in a room. Long fabric panels fall from under a valanced top section, making a sweep of color and style that is unforgettable. A canopy bed may sound exotic and out of reach. But really, a canopy bed can be made with a simple swag of fabric or by constructing an elaborate draped treatment. This article about canopy beds will give you lots of ideas and pictures of simple and not-so-simple styles of canopy beds that will help to add romance to your bedroom. The easiest way to create a simple canopy for your bed is to hang a piece of fabric over the top frame rails of a structured canopy bed. But if your bed doesn't have a canopy frame, there are other ways to get the look of a canopy and to surround your bed in softness and color. You can achieve a very attractive canopy bed look by installing curtain rods to the ceiling, placing one over each end of the bed. Using either tab-top, tie-top, pinch-pleated or gathered panels, attach the fabric to each curtain rod and let it drape softly to the floor. You can also attach a short rod to the ceiling, perpendicular to the head of the bed on each side. Hang the panels to the floor and tie back with a drapery tieback. There's really not anything that can make a bedroom feel romantic the way a canopy bed can. Our article shows many styles of canopies and bed hangings that can turn a ho-hum bedroom into something really spectacular. A dramatic crown canopy, also called a coronet, looks elegant in any bedroom. Attach panels of fabric around the outer edge of a half-circle of 3/4" plywood. This half-circle can be attached directly to the ceiling or floated just off the ceiling with L-brackets attached to the wall.

This half-circle can be attached directly to the ceiling or floated just off the ceiling with L-brackets attached to the wall. You can add a romantic look to a plain-Jane bed by draping long fabric panels through a wooden or metal ring attached to the ceiling above the center of the head of the bed. Draw the fabric panel through the ring, pulling it down to the floor on either side of the bed. Spread the panels out to display more fabric and frame the bed or drape the panels around the bed posts at the head of the bed. Another simple treatment is to install a ring on the ceiling at both sides of the head of the bed and draw the long fabric panel through both rings. Swag the area between the two rings at the ceiling to form a lush top frame for your bed. The panels should extend to the floor on both sides of the bed. If you install 4 rings, one at each corner of the bed, try drawing a long panel of fabric through each one. Be sure one end of the panel at each ring goes all the way to the floor. With four panels of luxurious fabric draped above and down the sides of your bed, the look is very elegant. You can really use any type of fabric you want to create a beautiful canopy bed. Traditional fabrics for canopies are chintz, silk, velvet,or tapestry. But you can achieve a fun look for a country setting with muslin or gingham or charming calico. You can also use sheets that coordinate with your bedding to construct the long panels for a uniform look. For ease of use and simplicity of style, bed hangings are generally cut to touch the floor when hung. If you prefer a luxurious look, cut the panels 4" longer and "puddle" the fabric on the floor at the edge of the bed. Be sure to lift the panel when you need to vacuum the floor. For a truly professional look, more body, and longer wear, add lining to the panel of fabric or use a coordinating print or solid for the back of the panel. After all, the inside and outside of the panel will both show when you swag it. Add borders, fringe, ribbon trim, and cording. Coordinate trims with tiebacks, adding color, texture, and body. Remember that a tieback will pull the fabric off the floor, so cut the panels slightly longer. Go on to see more views of beautiful canopy beds and swag treatments. You're sure to see a style that will give a wonderful romantic look to your personal sanctuary. Find a style of canopy bed that will fit your decorating style and budget and create a really romantic bedroom just in time for Valentine's Day.

If you’re bored with the current look in your bedroom, a stylish option is available that dates back to the 15th century. This look will add an air of nobility to even the drabbest of rooms while acting as the focal point and centerpiece of your bedroom furniture. This cure for your ailing bedroom décor is the classic canopy bed.
For the uninitiated, a canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four-poster bed. A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed. There are a wide array of canopy beds, ranging from the more formal traditional styles to today’s sleek, modern designs, made with clean lines and a simpler aesthetic. If you’re interested in a canopy bed, chances are good there is one out there that is perfect for you.
One might think that early canopy beds were only made for the wealthy. The fact is canopy beds have their roots with the common man. The canopy bed came into existence more from utilitarian means than that of extravagance or decadence. In fact, the earliest incarnations were probably beds of common people seeking an additional layer of shelter beyond that of a less-than-impenetrable thatch roof. Canopy beds with curtains that could completely enclose the bed were used by lords and noblemen in medieval Europe for warmth and privacy, as their attendants often slept in the same room. Until the 16th century, these beds, even those of the nobles, were fairly plain and understated. During this period, carved work on the headboard and posts became popular and more ornate canopy beds followed.
Today’s canopy beds generally fit into one of two categories: traditional or contemporary. Most of the traditional canopy beds will have a Victorian aesthetic, with either metal rod frames or intricately carved wood frames and posts. These throwbacks will also often feature ruffled, pleated elaborate draping, sometimes with rather heavy cloth. In contrast, contemporary canopy beds generally employ a cleaner, simpler design. Wood, metal, or a combination of the two is used in the construction of modern canopy beds, which usually have little to no detail on the foot and headboards and often feature sharp, geometric designs.
