Buying Guide – How to Pick best Canopy Bed?
Your house is your kingdom and your bed, your throne. So, it’s not surprising that some of us want the most luxurious throne, a.k.a bed, as possible. For some of us, it’s more than just a throne. The bed is our sanctuary. Our place of retreat – something that provides us with warmth, comfort, and privacy. Canopy beds have been offering all of that since they were invented. These beds have been around since Medieval times when nobles used this type of bed to provide them with warmth (no heater back then), privacy (to separate them from servants sleeping nearby), and safety (shielding you from rats while you slept. Today, canopy beds are considered a decorative accent. And they come in many shapes and sizes. If you want something like this as your throne or retreat, then you’ve got your work cut out for you. Fortunately, our guide should help you navigate the ins and outs of buying one, so that you end up with the canopy bed of your dreams.
Why should you buy a canopy bed?
There’s no question that the most obvious reason for getting a canopy bed is because it can easily transform an ordinary bedroom to one that feels ridiculously royal (in a good way). However, it’s undeniable style isn’t the only benefit to getting this type of bed.
Canopy beds can be quite versatile. It can be styled in different ways using linens, curtains, and other accessories. You can easily change the look and feel of your room whenever you feel the need to do so.
Canopy beds are also great for regulating temperature. You can use the linens draping over the bed to keep the heat in during winter or staying cool during the summer.
If you need to sleep during the day, linens or curtains draped over your bed is one great way to keep light and sound from disturbing you. They’re also great for creating a mini oasis that you can enjoy on your own or with your partner.
How to buy a canopy bed:
Size
A canopy bed is typically larger than your average bed frame. This means that it will require more space inside your bedroom. Because of this, you need to make sure that your room has enough space horizontally and vertically to accommodate this piece of furniture. You’ll need two feet of space on each side of the bed to enable you to easily make the bed, change the bedding, and even change the linen draping over the bed. In addition, you’ll need at least a foot of space between the ceiling and the canopy bed to avoid making your bedroom look too cramped. Ideally, canopy beds are best for rooms with a great deal of space and lots of natural light.
Material
Canopy beds can be made of various materials – wood, iron, copper, brass, etc. It’s important to note that there is no “best” material when it comes to choosing the right canopy bed. When it comes to durability, what matters is the quality of the materials and how it is made. However, the type of material used can have an effect on the aesthetics of your bedroom. Wood is considered quite traditional. Wrought iron has a vintage feel while copper and brass tend to be considered more modern.
Style
Canopy beds, as we’ve already mentioned, are very versatile. They come in many shapes, sizes, and designs. While a lot of models feature the traditional square poster bed style, there are plenty of other designs available to suit every need. You’ll find ones that feature posts that look like tree branches and others that feature a circular mount on top where you can hang curtains from. Like the materials, it’s important for you to choose the design that works best with the theme or style that you’re aiming for in the bedroom. Make sure your canopy bed doesn’t look out of place with the rest of the furniture in the room. You want your “haven” to be the focal point of the room, but only for all the right reasons.
