The canopy bed came into existence more for utilitarian means rather than for extravagance or decadence. In fact, the earliest incarnations of canopies for canopy beds were probably beds of common people seeking an additional layer of shelter beyond that of a less-than-impenetrable thatch roof. Canopy beds with curtains that could completely enclose the bed were used by lords and noblemen in medieval Europe for warmth and privacy, as their attendants often slept in the same room. Until the 16th century, these beds, even those of the nobles, were fairly plain and understated. During this period, carved work on the headboard and posts became popular and more ornate canopy beds followed. Today’s canopies for beds generally fit into one of two categories: traditional or contemporary. Most of the traditional canopy beds will have a Victorian aesthetic, with either metal rod frames or intricately carved wood frames and posts. Bed canopies will also often feature ruffled, pleated elaborate draping, sometimes with simple cottons, lace or eyelet. In contrast, contemporary canopies for canopy bed canopies generally employ a cleaner, simpler design. For canopy beds wood, metal, or a combination of the two is used in the construction and usually have little to no detail on the foot and headboards and often feature sharp, geometric designs. Bed canopies are often used in styles of Moroccan bedding, retro bedding and bohemian bedding but fit equally well into country bedding designs and elegant bedding motifs.
