31 Sweet and Fun Girls Room Canopy Bed Ideas

Whether your daughter has just recently graduated from her toddler bed or is a preteen who is looking to add a little more oomph to her sleep space, a canopy bed may just be in the cards. Canopy beds are a great way to add a little magic to a child's bedroom.

Whether your daughter craves a bedroom that's ultra glam or is all about embracing vibrant hues, the below spaces are a great place to look to get ideas for your own design scheme.

Incorporate Subdued Shades

Try It Out

Design by Maite Granda

You don't have to commit to buying a full canopy bed frame to get a similar effect. In this whimsical little girls room from interior designer Maite Granda, a lightweight canopy is strung up above the toddler bed, complementing the pink-and-white-striped wallpaper, curvy black wire chandeliers and matching decorative bird cages, and a tree mural that takes advantage of the room's high vaulted exposed wood ceiling. Once it's time to swap out the toddler bed, you can trade up for a solid wood canopy bed, or try another style.

Tone It Down

@homeattheeaton / Instagram

What could be more cheery than a canopy bed positioned right next to a beautiful rainbow mural? If your child's room features brightly colored walls already, you may wish to choose a more sheer or plain-colored canopy option to offset all of the hues.

Be Whimsical

Don't be afraid to get a bit whimsical. Mixing a canopy with a rainbow pompom ball garland alongside more sophisticated fabric prints can be the best of both worlds (and is a nice option for those who just can't pick a favorite color).
