A canopy is a special canopy, in ancient times designed to protect the sleeper from cold and drafts, and in modern times to decorate the interior. This product can easily fit into more than a dozen popular styles. A canopy over the bed is hung in both adult and children's rooms, made of thick or lace fabric.
A cozy and sophisticated solution for the bedroom is a four-poster bed.
What is the correct name for a canopy over a bed?
The first mentions of canopies are found in the East. They were made of natural silk, mounted on wooden frames, and protected from annoying insects and prying eyes. They later appeared in Europe - this was at a time when those who could afford to purchase large pieces of fabric lived in castles. It was cold there, the thick, heavy woolen canopy perfectly retained the heat.
Once upon a time, a canopy was necessary to protect the sleeper from insects and drafts.
Even later, canopies appeared in palaces. There they were luxurious, lace, trimmed with beads, pearls, hand-embroidered products, made from the most expensive materials. Forged or carved frames with the most bizarre shapes were created as support for them.

Advantages, disadvantages of canopy
Any canopy over a children's or adult bed has certain advantages:
- dense drapery protects from drafts, retaining heat;
- thin translucent fabric, when properly attached, protects against mosquitoes, flies, and midges;
- a dark blanket protects from sunlight and artificial light;
- an opaque option will create a closed personal space;
- a lace canopy will create a “zest” in the interior, making it luxurious and original;
- The product is easy to create with your own hands.
Currently, the canopy is more of a decorative than a utilitarian interior detail.
There are also some disadvantages:
- textile material collects dust, which is very dangerous for allergy sufferers;
- dense fabric does not allow air to pass through well, which is also not useful;
- the material often has to be washed in order for it to have a beautiful appearance;
- wrinkled fabrics require ironing after each wash, smoothing out all wrinkles and lace;
- clutters the bedroom, making it cramped.

Canopy on hanging frames
Inspired by a relaxed boho style, this bedroom features frames made from bamboo and suspended from the ceiling by ropes. Light tulle was chosen as the fabric for the canopy - it can be tied in knots or unraveled, depending on the time of day and your desire.

If you want to repeat this example, you don't have to look for bamboo frames. Any wood or hollow tube will do, but preferably thin ones. Also, do not choose thick, heavy fabric - the fastening will not support it.

Canopy on wooden beams
In this bedroom, fabric was hung from wooden beams on the ceiling. To make a similar structure, you need to attach the beams to the ceiling along the perimeter of the bed (mark the place for the beams with gaps a little further than the perimeter of the bed, so as not to get confused by the meters of fabric when lying on it), and hang the fabric. Preferably linen or cotton - not completely transparent, but not heavy either. You can make beams like cornices to move the canopy apart if desired.

Canopy on vertical posts
This is a variant of the classic canopy, when the rectangular frame is fixed on four “posts”. You can find such beds from some manufacturers and brands - all you have to do is choose the right fabric and hang it like a curtain. You can also simply drape the canopy fabric over the frame, this will create a relaxed atmosphere - just what you need for sleep. Choose textiles that suit your style: for example, linen and cotton look good in bedrooms with a modern, Scandinavian or nautical style. And organza and satin are ideal for classic bedrooms.

Sometimes the counters are decorated with garlands or climbing artificial plants.
Canopy-"sail"
This is the name for the canopies that hang from the ceiling above the bed. The fabric is secured to two slats at the top, and depending on the length and type of material, it either falls down onto the bed or hangs above it. It’s not difficult to repeat such a canopy in your apartment - just attach two slats to the ceiling and choose the fabric you like.

Canopy with dome
Perhaps this is the most popular type of canopy. It can be mounted above the bed, in the middle, or decorate the headboard in this way - it depends on your preferences. The frame of the dome can be a hoop - just fasten the fabric to the hoop and lift it on a rope. Then you will get a dome.

Varieties of shapes, designs
Canopies over the bed differ not only in the type of fabric used, but also in the way they are hung. For various interior styles, luxurious, voluminous structures on high supports or more compact ones with unobtrusive fastenings are built. Different fabrics are also suitable: thick, warm ones are used to retain heat, mesh protects against insects, lace serves as decoration.
A stylish decoration made of frame and fabric creates a cozy atmosphere of privacy and tranquility.
Frame over the bed
The most common way to create a canopy for an adult bed with your own hands is a frame. It can be attached to the bed itself or have an independent base. This type of frame is the most stable and simplest method. You can use simple curtains as a curtain.
You can make a frame from metal pipes or wood. The design is as simple as possible, four vertical posts and four horizontal ones for the top of the frame. The simplest and most reliable version of the frame is the one that is attached to furniture. You can make an independent frame, but it is worth remembering that it must be stable. This can be achieved through massiveness or by attaching it to the floor.
In addition, you can make the canopy temporary using this design if it is collapsible. This is the most practical option, since in this case you can simply create the appropriate atmosphere in the bedroom at will.
Types of frames
These are structures on four supports and semicircular “crowns”, ceiling beams and small rings, stretch ceiling cornices and wall fastenings. Also, drapery is sometimes located on the frame in the form of a rhombus, oval, wave, arc, or hoop. Using a canopy, the room is zoned.
On four supports
The four legs are usually an extension of the bed legs, pointing towards the ceiling. At the top, at a height of two to three meters or more, there are transverse crossbars through which the fabric is thrown. The design is suitable for classic, loft, and historical interiors. The most expensive options are decorated with forged and carved elements.
Increases comfort while sleeping by protecting against sunlight, drafts and mosquitoes.
Wall mount
Such holders have the shape of an arc, a semicircle, mounted to the wall in two places. The fabric is attached like curtains. For convenience, the fastening is made detachable - consisting of two flexible parts with a latch in the middle or on the edge. In another version, a long crossbar is attached to the wall, over which the fabric is thrown.
A canopy enlivens the bedroom interior, adding a touch of romance to the decor.
Canopy tent on a holder in the form of a ring
The round holder is suspended from the ceiling using a hook, attached to a tripod at the head of the bed, and mounted directly to the wall. In some options, in addition to the central fastening, tying is done on vertical posts located in the corners of the bed.
This decor helps set a certain style direction.
On the eaves of a suspended ceiling
The construction of such a structure is thought out in advance. In the suspended ceiling, niches are then provided for a hidden cornice - round, rectangular, oval. Less often, the cornice is made visible and very voluminous, but its installation will require preliminary installation of embedded bars.
The canopy creates an area of privacy and comfort, which is especially useful if the house has high ceilings.
On the headboard
There are also vertical fastenings mounted at the head of the bed, to its back. This canopy can be easily removed against the wall, and sometimes has additional wall holders.
Almost any bed can be decorated with a canopy.
Floor design
The structure is a heavy, stable tripod located at the head or side of the bed. In its upper part there is a split ring, an oval holder.
A canopy will not be superfluous over an elongated crib for an older baby, because the child still needs a comfortable sleep.
Suspended ceiling options
It is permissible to throw the drapery over a hollow pipe, a wooden crossbar located under the ceiling above the middle of the bed. Another suitable option is “sail”. Two crossbars are fastened with cables at four points, textile material is tied or put on them. The canopy appears to be purely symbolic, located only in a horizontal plane - nothing hangs to the sides.
To make the canopy look harmonious, the holder for it is selected taking into account the dimensions of the bedroom and bed.
Types of canopies
Depending on the design, there are four main types of canopies.
- In the shape of a semicircle, mounted on the wall at the head of the bed. It consists of a frame in the form of an arc or a short cornice located perpendicular to the wall, on which a light flowing fabric is fixed. Such a curtain has a purely decorative function, effectively complementing the headboard.
Photo examples of a canopy at the head of the bed
- In the shape of a tent (dome). The fabric in this design is fixed to a frame in the form of a ring and suspended from the ceiling. If the “tent” is large enough, it not only decorates the sleeping area, but also performs a protective function. For example, it protects against mosquitoes, flies, and bright sun.
This is what a canopy tent looks like in a bedroom interior
- In the form of a sail over the bed. It is a rectangular fabric canopy attached to the ceiling and hanging over the bed. To attach such a canopy, rod curtain rods, wooden slats, plastic or metal pipes are usually used.
Canopy-sail over the bed
- Classic canopy. The supports are installed at the four corners of the bed and framed with fabric around the perimeter. A variation of this design is a zoning curtain. In this case, instead of supports, cornices fixed to the ceiling are used, and curtains are hung on them to isolate the sleeping area.
Examples of using a canopy to zone a sleeping area
Frame materials
The frame base is made of metal, wood, in the case of small structures and light fabrics, for example plastic, hollow pipes. Sometimes the basis is cords and ropes stretched from the ceiling. In ethnic interiors, rough driftwood, sticks, and branches act as frames.
A large double design with a canopy is the most common option for a bedroom.
How to choose fabric
After choosing the fastening method, the designer is faced with the next task: what fabric and color is best to use. This directly depends primarily on the style of the room.
If the room is made in a modern style, light and weightless tulle, organza or veil are best suited for the canopy. It is best to choose light colors so as not to highlight the sleeping area from the overall picture.
In classic, oriental, and Asian interiors, it is possible to use heavy and bright materials, because the frame of the bed is an integral part of them. It is customary to decorate such canopies with braid, stones and other eye-catching accessories. It must be remembered that such styles imply the use of a classic canopy fastening.
Another important point is how exactly the canopy bed will look. Fabric can be hung in a variety of ways. For example, a canopy may simply hang from the ceiling or mounting ring without the ability to remove it and open the sleeping area. Most often, curtains are made as curtains for a bed, which is assembled for the day.
A more advanced version of it are curtains assembled using tiebacks. The role of tiebacks can be performed by a regular ribbon, ring or decorative rope; you can also sew them from the same fabric as the canopy itself. However, their use requires the presence of bed posts.
Canopy fabric
The textile materials used are very different, but it is advisable to use those that do not stretch or deform during use and washing. It is important to consider the length - it is advisable that the product goes down almost to the floor, as shorter options look “poor”.
When choosing fabric for a canopy, you need to take into account both the taste preferences of the bedroom owner and the style of the interior.
Design nuances for different types of furniture
Canopies are built over various pieces of furniture - single, single, double, bunk beds, sofa, house crib.
For a bunk bed
The canopy for a “two-story” structure, an attic, is usually attached to the sides of the upper tier. The drapery hides only the lower “floor”. Less common are canopies from the ceiling to the floor - then both the upper and lower bunks are covered with fabric.
Such canvases are distinguished by their tenderness, diffuse light well, but at the same time give a feeling of privacy.
For a double bed
For a double bed, a very voluminous canopy is made. Usually it is mounted on a frame that is integral with the bed. Options for a round or square ceiling cornice look good - the material seems to “flow” from the ceiling itself.
An elegant round bed with a transparent canopy looks especially gentle in the interior.
On a bed-house
A kind of “house” is obtained if you build a frame of the appropriate shape - when viewed from the end, it is pentagonal. Most often, the fabric is simply thrown over it or secured to the central crossbar. Less commonly, the upper part is sewn separately; four separate draperies are attached to its lower edge, tied with cords to the corner supports.
A canopy made of an airy veil will decorate the bedroom, but will not protect from sunlight.
The “tent” is different in that it is mounted on a round base located on top of the house. This is a solid frame, fixed to inclined posts leading to the corners of the bed, or the upper part is made suspended.
Above the sofa
The canopy, located above the sofa, is usually attached to the wall, along the long side of the folded structure. Ceiling options are used if the piece of furniture is folded forward. For modular sofas, which can be transformed in different ways, mobile mounts on folding ceiling hangers or narrow rails are suitable, where it is permissible not only to change the location of the canopy, but also the height relative to the floor level.
A well-chosen canopy decorates the bedroom and draws the eye to its central element.
Types of canopies over the bed
Modern interior and furniture designers offer a lot of both classic and unusual options for canopies over the bed.
But from all the variety of designs, three main types of canopies can be distinguished:
- fabric attached to supports. Such a canopy allows you to highlight the contour of the bed, giving it a central place in the interior;
- hanging fabric. In this case, the canopy will play a major role in the decorative design of the bedroom;
- structures of non-standard design: a four-poster bed in the bedroom will perform the functions intended by the designer.
All canopies consist of two main parts:
- frame or hanger for fabric;
- fabric cloth.
Often, non-standard canopies are made to order, but modern furniture stores also offer ready-made options for unusual solutions for the bedroom.
Methods for attaching a canopy over a bed
Depending on the mounting method, the following types of bed canopies are distinguished:
- on the frame - the classic version;
- canopy - “crown”;
- "cords";
- framed.
A canopy bed on a frame allows you to create a luxurious interior: the space from the ceiling to the bed is framed by a frame, and on the sides there are wooden or metal stands with ornate and forged elements.
Fans of minimalism can hide the stands with fabric draperies - for example, garlands or flounces, or take a closer look at more modest canopy designs.
The “crown” design is used to create unusual designs: its axis is located in the center of the bed, and the frame has the shape of a circle or square through which the fabric is pulled. This option is considered the most sophisticated and aristocratic.
The “cords” design is used for interiors in loft style or any folk design. Special hooks are attached over the corners of the bed. Then slack cords are tied to them, on which the fabric is hung. The main advantage of this model is ease of installation.
In a frame canopy, the fabric is secured with an arc to the frame. This is the most budget option for attaching a canopy. The only drawback of this design is the need to attach the arc to the wall. In addition, such a canopy may be too modest to create a luxurious interior. But it will fit perfectly into the rustic or oriental style of the bedroom.

The classic design and frame canopy require quite a lot of free space, which makes it impossible to use them in very compact bedrooms or houses with low ceilings.
What fabric to choose for a canopy over a bed
If you want to choose a canopy for your bed and subsequently not regret your purchase, special attention should be paid to the fabric from which the canopy is made.
Of course, the main significance of a modern canopy lies in its purely decorative function, but some types of fabric can also have a practical purpose.
If you want to achieve a special, romantic atmosphere in the bedroom, then it is best to give preference to natural light, translucent fabrics - silk and veil. They will perfectly emphasize the tenderness and mystery of the interior. In addition, such light draperies will help visually expand the space - this is a godsend for cramped bedrooms.
Heavy, denser fabrics - velvet, jacquard and tapestry have long been a symbol of prosperity and luxury. Therefore, they are perfect for creating classic and palace interiors. In addition, such fabrics do not transmit light well, which is especially important for healthy sleep.
If your bedroom is designed in an oriental style, you can choose a canopy with tassels, and for a futuristic high-tech style, the fabric can be replaced with plain curtains.
The color of the fabric is also important. It can be either patterned or plain. It is desirable that the shades of the canopy be duplicated in other textiles in the bedroom - for example, curtains, bedspreads or bed linen. If you want to achieve the effect of restraint, then give preference to cold tones, and to create a cozy and sensual atmosphere, warmer ones - scarlet, orange, powdery and noble shades of gold.
Some people mistakenly believe that a four-poster bed in a bedroom is a dust collector and difficult to maintain. This is wrong. With regular cleaning, the canopy not only does not collect dust, but also protects the sleeping person from it.
Features of a four-poster bed for different ages, genders
It is permissible to place curtains over the beds of people of any gender and age. Most often, this is done to ensure at least minimal privacy when several people sleep in the same room. The dark canopy allows you to relax and quickly fall asleep in a small cozy house.
Depending on age
Canopies of various designs will appeal to both adults, elderly people and children. Any fabric is acceptable, preferably one that does not collect a lot of dust. Under a canopy decorated in a palace style, it’s easy to feel like a noble person for a moment.
For an adult bed
The canopy over an adult bed is a “tent”, a quadrangular or round structure. This is a convenient thing for people who have difficulty relaxing and falling asleep. If desired, a lamp is mounted in the upper part of the structure to make it convenient to read before bed without disturbing others' sleep.
A bed with a canopy on the ceiling looks original and modern.
In the men's room, the canopy plays an exclusively functional role - protection from noise, light, and drafts. Any decorations are not appropriate here. The female version also performs protective functions, but is almost always also a decoration. It is sewn from shiny lace fabric, richly embroidered with colored threads.
Advice: in the case of creating a canopy for a couple’s bed, choose a neutral but luxurious option.
For a teenage bed
Canopies for boys and girls differ little from the designs of younger children of the corresponding sex, with the only difference being that young people already know exactly what they would like to see in their room. Many teenagers go through a period when they prefer dark colors - don't stop them from doing so. It is not necessary to sew a canopy from ordinary pure black fabric - it looks much more beautiful:
- anthracite gray;
- brown;
- fir-black;
- cobalt blue;
- dark red-brown;
- purple-black;
- grey-green;
- brown-willow;
- emerald black;
- sapphire blue;
- umber gray.
A canopy in a room helps create a special mood of relaxation after a hard day.
For the nursery
It is recommended to make the canopy over the bed of a toddler, preschooler, or elementary school student non-staining and from a material that can be easily washed. Small children often taste and touch everything, so the drapery gets dirty very quickly. The drapery forms part of the themed interior, where the baby will have fun playing.
The canopy has a decorative function, softly decorating the roofs of the houses.
For a newborn
The canopy over the baby’s crib creates a kind of dark, warm, cozy “nest” where the baby will feel protected. The canopy is usually placed over the cradle, made of two layers: a thin mesh layer will protect from mosquitoes, flies, midges, a denser one will protect from daylight, electric light, and drafts. The design ensures psychological peace and normal sleep for the baby.
A canopy is a very functional element of a crib for newborns.
Advice: the canopy must be secured firmly, as firmly as possible, preferably in several places, so that the child cannot tear it off or get too entangled.
History of appearance: the role of the canopy over the bed then and now
A four-poster bed is a classic sleeping place with a fabric canopy that can either completely cover the bed on top and sides, or be shortened.
The first canopies appeared in the ancient East, and they were used as protection from the heat: they were worn as an umbrella. At first, the use of such a design was available only to the king, and then to other influential persons.
Later, it began to be used as a canopy over beds to protect against drafts and blood-sucking insects. Rich people had custom-made canopies made of silk, velvet and satin, decorated with hand embroidery and precious stones.
By the way, in Europe the first canopies were made of stone, and their main purpose was to hide the sleeper from prying eyes. Then this expensive and heavy material was replaced by a more practical option - fabric.
In ancient Rus', canopies were known as canopies - canopies over a bed made of printed cotton.
Canopies have been used for more than one century, during which time they have undergone a lot of changes: from the types of fabrics used to the design and methods of fastening.
A modern canopy over a bed has several advantages:
- creates a favorable psychological atmosphere of comfort and security, hiding the sleeping person from prying eyes;
- canopies made of dense fabrics protect from daylight and have soundproofing properties;
- the design perfectly protects against annoying insects and allows you to sleep with the window completely open;
- in one-room apartments and studios, a canopy serves as an excellent way to separate the sleeping area from the working area;
- Using a canopy to create a sophisticated, romantic and cozy bedroom interior.

Canopies for an adult bed can be included with the bed or sold separately.
Depending on gender
Many parents decorate their children's rooms with beautiful canopies. Children of the same gender and age are often given the same canopies, different genders, but approximately the same age - different in color, but similar in design, so as not to disturb the overall room design.
For boy
The design in a boy's room often reminds of the sea and is made more austere than in a girl's room. Drapery is not decorated with lace, but ribbons and cords are acceptable. Suitable colors are sky blue, light gray, thistle, khaki, pistachio, moderate green, turquoise, snow blue.
Boys will like this design of a four-poster bed more.
For girl

A girl over two years old will appreciate an original four-poster bed.
Neutral options
This design is suitable when two or more children of both sexes live in the bedroom. Excessive frill lace is inappropriate in this case; the colors are chosen to be the same for all canopies or overlap.
If there are no racks, then a frame placed under the ceiling can be used as a canopy.
Suitable options:
- ebony pink;
- light green;
- cornflower;
- beige;

A small master class on how to make a canopy with your own hands
In order to build a canopy yourself, you must follow the step-by-step instructions. To do this you will need the following tools: tape measure, pencil, drill, fasteners.
You can make a canopy with your own hands.
There is also a special holder that can be purchased at the store, or you can use a metal rod. And then, most importantly, choose the fabric for the base of the canopy so that it matches the interior of the room.
A light canopy will suit any interior.
Manufacturing process
- Mark the place where the curtain will be attached. You need to choose it according to the bed. You need to choose a space that makes you or your child feel cozy and comfortable.
- It is possible to construct a holder from canopy wire. It basically consists of a tripod and a ring. The support is installed at a certain height, which corresponds to your requirements and desires. Next, install the rings on which the curtain fabric is attached.
- Select material for the base. The holder can be selected according to your wishes: frame, crown, support, and others.
- Select fabric for the canopy (measure the width and length of the product). The canopy is sewn from the selected material according to the measurements. To do this, take a large piece of material, fold it in half, and pass an elastic band or lace through the middle. Don't forget about loops and hooks. The edges of the fabric need to be folded and hemmed.
- Attach the base to the selected location. Make sure that the base is held firmly and does not wobble. To do this, select screws and dowels to match your walls. It would be nice to use a drill and screwdriver.
- We put the fabric canopy on a frame that is pre-made. The sewn fabric canopy is placed on a previously made ring. Everything turns out quite beautiful and impressive, but at the same time simple and fast. It is better to use organza, chiffon, tulle, and other light fabrics as the basis for the canopy. Heavy material can bend the structure. The canopy often needs to be washed, shaken out, and cleaned, so it should be easy to remove, which cannot be said about thick fabric. And dust accumulation is not desirable.
- Decide on the mount.
- Hang a canopy.
Additional Information. If there is a canopy for a girl, you can use a kind of “skirt” at the bottom of the product and decorate it with a bow. And with the help of thick fabric you can make interesting cuffs.
The canopy will create an incredible feeling of peace and relaxation.
Canopies are so original and varied that it is sometimes difficult to make a final choice. But it would be nice to sew it yourself, for your room, so that it fits original into the interior of the apartment.
Make a canopy for your child yourself.
