- Cloth fabrics covering the space around the bed scatter light, making it soft and pleasing to the eye. That is why it is so comfortable to sleep under them during the day and in the morning.
- Even a thin mesh canopy becomes an obstacle for annoying mosquitoes and midges and protects against their bites.
- The canopy also becomes an obstacle to drafts. On a hot or windy day, you can relax under it with open window without fear of a cold.

- 3 On a rectangular or round cantilever structure, suspended from a hook from the ceiling above the center or head of the bed;
- 4 On a quadrangular, triangular or curved cornice, fixed above the bed on the ceiling.

- A four-poster bed, if desired, can be installed even in trendy and creative loft, hi-tech, pop art and minimalist interiors. So that it does not look like a foreign element in them, the canopy is best made of plastic or fabric panels, without folds and drapery.
But most often, when decorating our houses and apartments, we do not strictly observe any particular style, but take the characteristic details we like from different interiors.
The canopy in this case will also become the main decoration of the situation and set the tone for it:

How to sew
In order to independently sew a canopy on the bed, it is important to determine the size of the fabric. They are calculated according to the formula, where the perimeter of the bed is first calculated, after which they add on each side of the rectangle the amount of fabric that will hang beautifully on the sides. Many seamstresses recommend making the width of the fabric on the canopy to the floor: in the future, excess textiles can be tied up with curtain tiebacks.

- cut the fabric according to a pre-selected sketch;
- sew the entire perimeter with a reliable line on a typewriter;
- create loops on the upper edge of the product - they will be needed to fix the canopy on the frame;

If a shortened version of the canopy is chosen, then the fabric must be taken less. The calculation of the material is as follows: the width of the cape is equal to the width of the bed, the height from the ceiling to the bed and another 20 cm on each side to hide the mattress.
Mounting options
Sewing a canopy usually does not take much time and does not require certain skills. Any woman with basic sewing skills on a typewriter will do an excellent job with this task. The process of attaching the frame can create some difficulties, so it is worth considering common fixation options.

Assembly process
No matter what design the canopy bed was chosen for, the method of assembling it will be the same. The only difference is that the wireframe creation method changes. For example, when choosing a circular mount, you first need to bend the metal pipe into the desired shape: the same must be done with an arcuate mount - then you need to bend the base in a semicircle.
To fix the structure above the bed, you should follow the following tips:
- the frame is attached to the ceiling with the help of reliable suspensions: if the structure is too large, you should choose high-quality fasteners that can withstand high loads;

- the finished product is attached to the hinges manually, evenly distributing the canopy around the perimeter of the bed.
It is worth remembering that during operation, especially during sleep, a person can easily pull the fabric. To avoid trouble, all fabric must be securely fastened to the frame. Greater strength should be taken into account if a canopy is made for a crib.

- for work you will need 4 racks in the height of the ceiling, blanks for the frame frame, fasteners, wood glue, dowels, fabric, as well as decor for hiding corners;
- the details of the frame and racks are connected according to the principle of the entry of spikes into the grooves;
- if the structure is made of wood, it is covered with a protective varnish;
- when installing the product, the racks must be in contact with the corners of the bed;
- fabrics are thrown over the crossbars and draped beautifully.
The canopy can be sewn in one piece and fixed over the entire frame of the frame, and also made separate: sew a separate cape for each side of the frame.
On a horizontal bar
This method of fastening is considered one of the simplest, because only one segment is taken as the basis metal pipe. It is fixed in the center of the bed horizontally so that a wide strip of fabric can be passed through the bar. The simplicity of the design does not diminish its aesthetic and practical performance. A few rules for making such a canopy:
- at a height of 2 meters from the bed near the ceiling, a bar is screwed into the wall - it must be fixed with reliable fasteners: screws, hangers or self-tapping screws with dowels;
- the length of the bar should be equal to the width of the bed;
- decorative tips are placed on the free edges of the rod: this is done not only for decoration, but also so that the curtain does not slip out of the pipe;
- stretching the cord through the bar, the length of two wide strips is measured. After that, calculations are made: 5 cm are added to the resulting length, as well as another 3 cm per drawstring;
- the width of the strip should be twice the width of the rod to create a beautiful drapery;

Finished canopy
Dome on the ring

- stoppers are installed along the edges of the structure;
- the fabric drapes beautifully on the sides of the bed.
