Bedroom Canopy Dream

Writer's picture: Lisa GilganLisa Gilgan


Talk about dreamy!


This client had always dreamed of having a canopy bed. The challenge for her right now is lack of space, so she asked me to help her improvise. This is the design I came up with.


With a few items that can be purchased on Amazon (see affiliate links below), we were able to create this luxurious lighted canopy over the headboard.

Here are the quick steps to create this look.


  1. Measure the center of the headboard and mark the spot on the ceiling with a pencil.

  2. Hold the frame of the canopy up to the ceiling to find how far away from the wall it should be hung. We chose to have the edge of the canopy just a few inches away from the wall. Line up the center of the canopy with the mark you made in Step 1. Mark the spot on the ceiling where to install the hook.

  3. Screw in the hook. If your ceiling requires the use of a wall anchor, drill a hole slightly smaller than the anchor, and then tap in the anchor with a hammer. Screw the hook into the wall anchor. We didn't need an anchor for this project.

  4. Hang the canopy from the hook. Tip: be sure to center the opening of the netting.

  5. Drape the netting over the back of the headboard, gathering material to your desired effect over the finials on each side. Secure with a ribbon or a discreet tie.

  6. Hang curtain lights from the top of the canopy where it hangs from the hook. Distribute the strands around the entire width of the canopy.

  7. For a final touch, we tacked up a small section of the netting to the wall just above the gathers on the finials to give it a little more fullness.


Voila!

A beautiful lighted canopy!


One more helpful tip:

plug the lights into an adapter connected to a remote control,

or a smart plug if you have Alexa.


Now you can have instant magic

at the click of a button or the sound of your voice.
