Canopy Beds

Canopy beds are a beautiful statement and focal point in a large master bedroom space. We have collected a few of our favorite examples of canopy beds; both traditional, contemporary and of different materials and styles. What feels more grand and luxurious than a big, beautiful canopy bed?

Making your own canopy bed is a creative way to curate your space. We love this example done with dark hardware and draperies hung from the ceiling.

This clean and modern console is styled with black and white books, sculptural art and simple decorative objects.  Stacking coffee table books with a heavy object such as a bowl or decorative weight is a great styling tip.

Metal and metallic-look paneling is an ultra-glamorous way to add wow factor to your space.  We love the idea of mixing metal paneling with other materials to create a rich and diverse look.
