Buy a Modern Canopy Bed Frame for a Taste of Tradition in Modern Set Up

The canopy beds of today fit one of two groups: modern or traditional. Traditional canopy beds take inspiration from Victorian aesthetics, usually using intricately carved wooden posts or metal rod frames. These ‘throwback canopy beds’ often have pleated, ruffled, and elaborate draping typically made using heavy cloth. Traditional canopy beds look great in very large homes and estates. They tend to overwhelm smaller city homes and apartments. 

In contrast, modern canopy beds are simpler design. They use metal, wood, or a combination of these two materials. There are little to no details on headboards and foot. The lines tend to be sharp and geometric. 

If you want to add some drama in your bedroom without overwhelming it, add a modern canopy bed. You don’t have to deck it up with all the frills and fuss of a Victorian style canopy. These simple and sleek bed frames feature sharper lines and minimalist aesthetics while still making a strong visual statement. A modern canopy bed can add depth and luxury to room that does not have a lot of architectural details.

There are plenty of choices when it comes to modern canopy beds. Rich wood stains are available in a wide variety of shades. Some modern canopy are also painted to either pop out or to blend in with the room, depending on the look you want to achieve.

Should you apply drapes to your canopy bed? The choice is up to you. In most contemporary settings, the canopy beds are left without drapes for simple elegance. If you choose to add fabric, you can go for a smooth shade of rich white. This lets the whole vibe of the room remain airy. White drapes can draw the eyes to height of the bed and accentuate the largeness of the space.
