I looked up blogs on beds and this was the first on that popped up. I totally forgot what a canopy bed was untill the blog popped up. I love how she has a diagram of a canopy bed and how it is made. Canopy beds are large beds with something hanging over them. Canopy beds are quite easy to make. In this blog is shows you how you can hang curtains around you bed to make it a canopy bed. I think that canopy beds would look greay in large rooms. The curtains make the bed look larger and fuller. Canopy beds were used a lot more back in the day with castles and such. They used the canopy beds for newly married couples to have some privacy. Modern day canopies arent to extravagant with huge hanging curtains. They can have a hanging cutrain over head with beads hanging down which would be considered a canopy. Having net over the bed and around would also be considered a canopy. Just having a small barrier between the bed and the room would work. I think canopies are very beatiful and more girly. Many pillows would be placed on the bed and large blankets to make it all look full.
