When you were a young girl, and spent hours watching TV, one of the most elegant things you saw in the movies was that beautiful, fairy tale canopy bed. When the princess woke up and stretched her arms wide in that pretty bed how many of us imagined ourselves in and amongst that plush bedding?
The canopy bed dates back to Medieval times and was used to protect it's sleepers from the poorly made ceilings and insects. How ironic that it got it's start in the pauper's home first. Ceilings were often made of thatch which could easily come undone or break free, so keeping the plaster from dropping on your head became somewhat of a priority.
Plush Twin Mattress
Around the 16th century, this four poster canopy bed became a favorite of the upper classes. Thick curtains were added to the railings to keep in warmth and provide privacy. Before modern heating systems were established, people would dress and bathe in or near their beds to keep warm on cold winter days.
Original canopy beds were crafted of wood with carvings were introduced later to add some nice ornate intricacies. Today the beds and bedding are made from several different materials. Now the beds are a fashion statement. Canopy beds come in all shapes and sizes and aren't just for girls.
Wrought iron is one of the more popular materials being used. Thanks in part to its cool touch, as well as it's light and airy appearance. The iron frame also lends itself itself to the drapery you can hang.
So now comes the choosing of the drapes. Fabric can be bought in any color or pattern to enhance your sleeping experience. Colors are much more vibrant these days ranging in deep reds to electric blues and purples. Typically lighter, sheer fabrics are most popular. Lace is also recommended for a more girly look. These materials can provide that special feeling of wealth or romance. Wrap your fabrics in a way to create loops. Criss-cross styling is also creates a beautiful textured look.
Less expensive canopies can be purchased and hung from the ceiling and then draped over the bed if you prefer. Finally canopy beds come in twin, full, king, and queen sizes. They also come with some daybeds and cribs as well. So be careful when choosing your bedding that you buy the right sizes.
