Canopy beds make a comeback
If you are in the process of choosing a new bed for your bedroom, you may be considering a four poster bed. Four-poster beds are visually stunning, and while normally thought to be used in girls’ rooms, they are now found in the master bedroom as well. They offer a beautiful and timeless elegance and will greatly enhance the decor of any bedroom. Once hard to find, these beds are now available in many different styles and colors. So how do you decide which four poster bed would be right for your bedroom?
Two of the first things to consider when choosing a canopy bed for your bedroom are the color scheme and design. Make sure you have a particular style for your bedroom in mind so you don’t feel too overwhelmed as you begin the selection process. The first thing to do is take a good look at your bedroom and get an idea of the overall design you would like to achieve. Are you looking for a more elegant and classic feel? If so, you might want to opt for a bed that has a rich cherry wood finish and makes it easy to incorporate bedding in warm neutral tones like taupe, green, and brown. Or do you find yourself thinking more of a light, summery, country feel to the room? If that’s the case, choose a white canopy bed and use a bedding set in soft pastel colors like pale pinks and sky blues to complement the room.
Next on the list of things to consider is the actual size of the bed. What size bed will best meet your needs? Because canopy beds are now available in different sizes (usually Twin, Full, Queen, King, and California King), always take room measurements before purchasing a bed, especially if you’re also looking to purchase a new mattress.
You have now selected a great color, style, and size for your bed. You can then go on to find one that has great quality at the perfect price. When shopping for your canopy bed, always check things like safety and durability. Make sure your canopy bed is made of quality materials. Don’t buy a cheap, promotional piece made of MDF fiberboard or tin/aluminum. Stick with quality materials made by a quality manufacturer. Always compare stores and do your research before you buy. You’ll get a quality bed at an affordable price and create drama and romance in the bedroom for years to come.
