Canopy beds are rich in history and have long been used as a way to protect the sleeper from the elements and prying eyes. You may not need to address these concerns in your bedroom but you will still be able to bask in the luxury.
The history of canopy beds dates back to medieval Europe. At first they were used to protect peasants and servants from the elements due to poorly constructed roof tops. It was not until later that the nobility began using these beds as a way to protect them from the cold drafts and give them a modicum of privacy from their servants. The servants often slept in the rooms of the nobility in case they were needed during the night.
When picking out your bedroom suite and beds keep in mind that canopy beds can be quite large. They will also be tall so keep that in mind as well when measuring the height of the ceiling from the floor.
If you have the space to support a canopy bed, then you will not be disappointed in how beautiful your new bed will be in your newly decorated bedroom. You may not need it as protection from the elements but it never hurts to be prepared.
