(Semi) DIY Bed Crown Canopy

A semi DIY bed crown canopy for the person who wants a custom look, but doesn’t want to spend the time towers it from scratch.

When we moved into our current home, I was unswayable to takes its stark 90s shell and make it finger a little homier. Our room was a unconfined place to start, considering I wanted to alimony scrutinizingly everything from our Brooklyn apartment. We did make some changes and add some new pieces, and one of those new pieces was our semi DIY bed crown canopy. I unchangingly loved the squint of them, and I knew that it could bring some uneaten coziness to this room, with its upper and slanted ceilings.

One thing I want to get out of the way, and only considering it’s something that initially bothered me (I’m over it, now), is a disclaimer: we had to hang the bed crown lower than the ceiling considering it’s a slanted ceiling, and it wouldn’t have looked right otherwise. Also, this was taken at a weird wile but the chandelier is increasingly centered with the bed…it’s just nonflexible for me to get a good front on picture without moving my reversion vanity.

Anyway!

Since I get tons of questions well-nigh this little part of our bedroom decor, I’m dedicating this post entirely to it. Here’s everything you need to know to get the squint of my bed crown canopy!

The shopping details

This is the word-for-word frame we bought from Juliesdecor. I purchased two pairs of these curtains, two of these solid tincture valances, and three of these jacquard valances. The taps were a little short, so I sewed on some fringe at the bottom. The eyeful of this is you can segregate any taps or valance you want, or make it yourself! The sheets is from the same brand, Touch of Class.

What do you midpoint by “semi-diy” bed crown canopy?

I say semi-DIY considering I did not build this myself from scratch. That was the original plan — to make it ourselves (or with the help of my brother-in-law, realistically). When I found this DIY bed crown canopy frame kit, I chose convenience. Plus, I had a lot of other projects I wanted to ask my brother-in-law to help with!

I can sew, but it was much less time consuming to get ready-made taps and a valance. Adding some fringe to the marrow to made them the correct length. I mixed ready made and DIY! The idea of simply switching out the taps and valance when I want to transpiration things up was very appealing.

What comes with the diy bed crown canopy frame?

The crown canopy frame comes in pieces, with turnout required. It’s a lightweight plastic frame that comes unappetizing and bends into place with metal brackets and rods for the curtains. That’s it! With the frame cut to size, all you have to do is add your own taps and valance! There’s moreover a smaller option that just holds rod pocket curtains, no valance. You can find that here.

Can I buy a pre-made bed crown canopy?

Yes! I bought the frame from an Etsy shop tabbed Juliesdecor who makes custom bed crown canopies. Squint at this stunning example! Expect to pay increasingly for custom. Her items require a lot of material, time, and expertise.

Alternatively, if you search “bed crown” or “bed crown canopy” or “bed teester” you can find other options. I scrutinizingly went with a teester from A Touch of Class, where I bought my sheets and curtains. (Hot tip: you could moreover search “vintage syroco shelf” and DIY a similar teester!)

I couldn’t be happier with how things turned out. It brought that uneaten special something to our bedroom decor. What corner of our house would you like to see, next?
