You can see I have an old house. This is a mahogany bed. I agree with one poster, I don't like bed hangings either.

@Snowpuppy  I've never seen a bed quite like that. The craftsmanship is extraordinary, and I love the unique inscription! It has a very homey feel that I LOVE!😊

Re: Canopy and 4 poster beds

I had a canopy bed as a kid and teen.

I no longer like any posts at all around a bed. It makes it much harder to make the bed and I like a clean airy look personally.

No, I had bunk beds as a child but wanted a canopy bed.  I haven't seen a canopy bed in years but I always thought they where so pretty. But I have a king poster bed now.

Re: Canopy and 4 poster beds

I like four poster beds. I wouldn't want a canopy now, too much more to keep up with, but I've seen some really pretty ones.

No to both, and not a fan of either.

 

When teacher daughter was young and ready for a larger bed, she really wanted a canopy bed.   Both of the girls bedrooms are just too small for a bed that seems to take up the entire room.   She wasn’t happy, but she got over it.   

 

I also knew that canopy frame would be something for her, and her sister, to climb on.   As an adult, the only time she ever mentioned wanting a canopy bed as a child, the second part of her sentence was “I wanted to climb the bed posts and hang by my knees on that top rail!”

NOPE, no canopy or 4 poster bed for me.  I prefer an open feel & casual style.

Re: Canopy and 4 poster beds

We have a four poster bed, with shorter posts.  Our bedroom is Early American, so it fits.

Our DD had a canopy bed growing up.
