Bed Cornices
I LOVE bed canopies and cornices. I have been looking at inspiration recently to make my own bed cornice. Here’s the deal, my guest bedroom is really boring. I need SOMETHING to make it look better.
 |
| This looks nice! But not mine! |
Now, here’s a picture of reality:
 |
| my BORING guest bedroom. No, there’s no bedframe. I can’t afford one right now! So, what else to do?! |
I was thinking, since I can’t afford a bed frame and I *love* cornices, a cheaper alternative would be to make my own!
Here are the different type of bed canopies and cornices.
 |
| Different type of bed cornice/canopy options. |
Let’s look at some inspiration!
 |
| Don’t you love this! Love the bed cornice! Also love the bed and the bedding. And the room. |
 |
| Love this one as well. |
 |
| While this one is decorated for Christmas, it seems very simple to be able to DIY. |
 |
| What I love about this one is the sides of the cornice fabric are toile and the backdrop is a check. I would want to do the same thing. Or do one in all white. |
 |
| Ok I’m noticing a pattern. I’m a sucker for blue and white bedrooms, French furniture, and toile! |
 |
| This one seems really easy to DIY. |
 |
| I love this! What a great day bed! |
 |
| These cornices are something that I could probably easy copy with a DIY cornice idea I found on pinterest! |
 |
| This was a DIY using curved curtain rods. The sheets of sheer fabric are attached to the curtain rod with ribbon. found on Pinterest. |
 |
| This was a DIY cornice. Tutorial here |
 |
| This is an inverted wall shelf with fabric stapled to it. |
 |
| OR you can buy a cornice. This one is $164 from the Bella Cottage. The Bella Cottage has a lot of cute shabby chic/French furniture too. You should check it out. |
 |
Sorry for the poor quality. I like this bed crown, it’s only $86, and it is in two of the above pictures I found up above!
It is here. They also sell a few other bed crowns that I like! |
Why do I like bed cornices? Because they make you feel like a King/Queen! If you’re going to be King/Queen of your own Castle, you need to have a bed to prove it!

| Marie Antoinette’s bed at the Petit Trianon. How CUTE is her room?! Home girl knows how to spend money. |
Whew! That was quite a lot of bed cornices to look at! Which one is your favorite?

Hi Angelina; I love the 1st frame of course, But there is a lot to be said for the 5th frame on your list . It can be achieved in a variety of ways. The drapery can be what ever style you like. It can cost a lot, or not! I love your blog and your style. Julie
