Kids Bed Canopy

Canopy beds for kids come in many different styles and with many different price tags. There are Princess beds, fairy beds and flower beds. Some canopies are traditional and are held up by the four posts of the bed, some have billowing gauzy fabric and some come from a hoop attached to the ceiling.

Contrary to belief, beds with canopies can also be for boys. Custom-made ones can be made into sailing boats with a half canopy as the sail, forts on stilts can have a mattress with a canopy as the roof or a theme of royalty can be used with a real one bringing forth stories of kings of the past who did sleep in such beds. These themes can be used for girls by changing colors and making the bed for a queen instead.

Traditional bed canopies for kids come in many choices. Disney themes are available in Princesses, Tinker Bell and Winnie the Pooh to name a few. You can customize your own bedding for a child if the theme they like is not available. For instance, a boy could have Disney Pixar Cars bedding on a bright red bed with a red canopy. Or a cowboy theme could have one painted navy, cowboy bedding and a navy canopy. Full canopies hanging over the entire bed would make a great tent for a camping theme. A full one over a girls bed could become a magical place with flowers, vines and fairy lights on a billowy canopy.

Hoop canopies are available in certain themes and colors but you can also customize your own. Purchase a hoop, attach the fabric of your choice and hang over the bed. You can get creative by attaching strips of ribbon, strings of beads or anything you can think of that is attachable. Strings of lights interspersed can add a warm glow to a room, create a cozy reading nook or ease night time fears. Strings of lights can also be hung on the frame of a regular canopy bed and can be found in shapes such as flowers or planets.

Children have always loved beds with canopies. They can be a safe refuge, an adventure waiting to happen or a cozy place to go to sleep. With all the canopy beds available for kids today there is sure to be one that suits every one, and you will definitely be able to find one that will make your child happy and even excited to go to sleep when bedtime comes!
