How to Liven Up any Room In Your Home With A Ceiling or Bed Canopy

HOW TO SPICE UP A BEDROOM OR FAMILY ROOM USING DECORATIVE CEILING CANOPIES

Bed Ceiling Canopy
A canopy bed may sound exotic and out of reach. However, you can accomplish a very nice-looking canopy bed look by fitting curtain rods to the ceiling, placing one over each end of the bed. Attach fabric to each curtain rod, using tab-top, tie-top, pinch-pleated or gathered panels, and let it drape softly to the floor. Traditional fabrics for canopies are chintz, silk, velvet or tapestry.

Over Bed Ceiling Decoration
For your baby's nursery yards of sheer netting can be knotted and hung from the ceiling before being draped and puddled around the crib. Though it should be tied back and removed when baby starts reaching, the fabric can always be made into pretty curtains to hang at the window instead.

Ceiling Canopies
Billowy scarves rescued from the dresser drawer, flea markets, and secondhand stores can be sewn into a dreamy tent that calls to mind the Arabian Nights. Select scarves with similar weight and sheerness, and a few common colors. Your canopy should be 8-12 inches longer and wider than the bed in order for it to drape sufficiently.

How to Hang Ceiling Canopy For Bed
All you'll need for this look is three standard curtain rods hung from the ceiling. Once the rods are in place, hang the curtains of your choice from the clip rings. You can use hot pink sheers for your teenager's room, or a different fabric for the guest and master bedrooms. The inexpensive clip rings make the fabric easy to adjust on the rod.

Ceiling or Wall Mounted Canopies
A ring canopy is a project anyone can do. Simply select four pieces of trade show ceiling decoration and measure carefully so each ring is positioned above one corner of the bed. Loop a long swag of fabric up and over the ring - the weight of the fabric will keep it in place.

Ceiling Light Medallions Canopy
Ceiling medallions used together with a chandelier are a great way to add interest to your home - particularly newer homes that don't have much in the way of architectural accents. The size of the ceiling medallion you choose is a function of the size of the chandelier with which it will be used. You can paint or finish your medallion before it is installed.
