If you’re looking for an easy way to make a strong interior design statement in your bedroom then you should certainly think about a bed canopy or canopy drapes. Choose the right canopy for your bedroom and you can instantly make a bold impression that will delight you the minute you walk through the door.

There are three things you will want to consider when choosing the right look and we will discuss these elements here in this article. Firstly you’ll need to decide the best color or pattern for the bed canopy. Start by taking a look at the existing furniture, fittings and upholstery in your room, what is the overriding color theme at the moment? The basic rules are simple, if you already have a mish mash of colors throughout the room then go for something neutral to avoid color overload. Alternatively if everything already matches nicely consider a brave dash of color to bring the room to life.

Secondly take care to get the measurements right for your bed canopy. If you are attaching one to an existing canopy bed then it’s simply a case of buying one for the dimensions of your bed but if you don’t have a four poster and want to attach something from the ceiling be sure to take careful measurements.

Finally Bed canopies come in many different fabrics with many different textures so take time to work out which will be the best for your room. Visit a site like the canopybedguide.com. We recommend that you stick to lightweight wispy materials if you have a summery light room and slender contemporary furniture. Conversely more traditional old style furniture with real weight will require a heavier, possibly more ornate fabric to hold the design look together.

Don’t be afraid to make some canopy bed curtains yourself if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for in the shops. You really don’t have to be a sewing expert to make them.
