Depending on the design and size of the room that you are putting your girl canopy bed in, there are a wide variety of styles of canopies that you can use. Listed below are the six main types of canopies that you are going to find while you are shopping around. The list should help you determine which style is going to be perfect for your particular situation.
Style #1) Simple Mosquito Net Canopy – When you are looking for an easy way to drape a canopy over your bed, these canopies are going to be your best bet. By hanging a hook in the ceiling, you can drape the canopy over the bed and not have to attach it to your posts.
Style #2) Hoop Canopy – These canopies are easy to create by yourself but they are also a fairly common option that you are going to encounter while shopping. The hoop canopy floats over the top of the bed only, and does not drape down over the sides.
Style #3) Single Rod Canopy – When you attach a curtain rod to the ceiling, and drape the canopy over both sides of it, you have created a single rod style bed canopy. You can utilize these canopies when you only want to cover one side of the bed rather than the entire bed itself.
Style #4) Multi Rod Canopy – Much in the same fashion as you would create a single rod canopy, you can use multiple rods, with one being at each end of the bed. The canopy is then created by draping the fabric over the bed on each end.
Style #5) Frame Canopy – A lightweight rectangular frame is usually built from wood or lightweight metals such as aluminum, and are attached to all four posts of the bed. This allows the canopy to be draped over the entire bed, rather than one or two of the sides.
Style #6) Bed Frame Canopy – These types of canopies are typically built into the bed itself, and feature a framework that helps keep the appearance of the canopy crisp. Something as elegant as this kind of canopy would go really well with a girls vanity set.
