Sleeping Under the Canopy


With autumn swiftly on the rise it is time to wrap up and indulge in the hibernation of the season. Originally developed to keep kings and queens warm through the night canopy beds exude luxury and comfort.

Below is an image from the May/June 2011 issue of Lonny Mag. It is the home of Caroline Robert who is the owner if perch in New Orleans (http://www.perch-home.com/). I love how this look retains simplicity, while making a beautiful impact. The pom pom trim is a fun detail and gives the treatment a bespoke feel. The monogram pillows with red detail add a visual point of interest without being overbearing.

  1. I've always loved canopy beds but sometimes they're too girly and my boyfriend would never agree to one. But some of these could work. I'd just have to figure out how to deter my cat from climbing up them.

  2. Glad you found some inspiration! As for the cat - I have one too - a little cat nip and a scratch post should hopefully do the trick, but those furry friends of ours can be persistent :) Hope you have a great weekend!
