20 Modern Canopy Beds That Will Make You Feel like a Royal
These traditional beds are SO not snoozy.
When canopy beds first came on the scene centuries ago, they were clad in heavy curtains that, during cold evenings, could be drawn together to keep their occupants warm. But from the 1500s onward among aristocracy and the royal set, they moved beyond necessity and became lavish rooms of their own, complete with ornate carvings and fussy trimmed textiles. Beds, of course, still remain the focal point of our bedrooms, and designers still love to drape canopy beds in sumptuous fabrics. But beneath, you’ll mostly find sleeker, pared-down frames in contemporary styles that are lighter than their forebears, but no less romantic. If you’ve been searching for a dreamy modern canopy bed of your own, read on for some of our favorites to shop now. Sleep tight!
