Once you’ve chosen the bed itself it’s time to accessorize and this is where you can really go to town and have a good time. You can choose different elements to go with your bed and mattress pad from pillows, duvet covers, drops pretty patterned sheets and more. And each different set will create a different look so neither you or your children should ever get bored. Each week can offer a new look. Visitors will be impressed with the imagination with which you pick out these different styles and additions and you will be delighted with the overall effect.

Take a look at this beautiful collection of canopy bed bedding from California Kids, their Amanda collection has a whole host of choices from quilts and summer blankets to pillow cases and gathered ruffles. I particularly like the colors and materials that they use. I think this kind of bedding would work perfectly in a young girls room or even in a guest bedroom. It looks like a great deal of time and thought has gone into both the design and creation of all their kids canopy bedding.

Another one of their collections is their Betina range. I just think these designs are a blast and definitely a great choice for children. The multi colored patch work effect canopy bed covers remind me somehow of the circus and is just lots of fun. With all those crazy colors and different pillow designs it would probably best suit a room that has muted colors. There’s only so much the eye can take and I would love to see this bedding in a white or cream room.

For something a  little more classical but still soft, for your adult canopy bed, how about this organic cotton blanket? With it’s cool neutral colors and its honeycomb texture this blanket should fit in with most interior design tastes and adds some real sophistication. Made with 100% pure organic cotton these canopy bedding sets will be really practical, as well as good looking, keeping you warm in winter but cool in the summer months.

Finally, again for the grown ups, you can’t go far wrong with some simple Egyptian cotton bed sheets. The height of luxury this type of cotton has always been a favorite of mine. The texture and thickness of the material is just wonderful. If you are prepared to buy high quality goods you will be rewarded in the long run. These types of canopy bed linens shout style and will last you wash after wash. A great purchase.

Clearly this is going to be the most expensive option and should not be considered for those buyers who are short of space, because all this furniture will not only take up a lot of space but it will also make a very strong statement in your room and that’s not going to work well if the space starts to look crowded. Give yourself plenty of room so each of the items has a chance to express itself. Bear in mind also that with a bedroom set the style of the set is going to pretty much dictate the style of the room. There’s no point in buying a sleek contemporary canopy bed set and then trying to shoehorn it into an area that has a quaint country feel to it. Everything will clash and look appalling.

So lets start with the Sahara California king sized bed set. At the top end of most buyers budgets this elegant collection consists of the king sized canopy bed, an armoire, dresser with mirror and two bedside tables. In a dark hardwood finish this set has an old world antique feel to it and with its coffee coloring, with hints of cherry will lend a touch of class to your bedroom. This is a perfect example of a product that needs to be placed in the right sized bedroom where it has room to express itself and needs sympathetic interior decor to bring out its best. As you can see from the photo a simple white paint decoration and classy wood flooring works very well. At close to $5000 this is not a purchase for the faint hearted, in fact don’t expect to find too many cheap canopy bed sets.

Next up is this farmhouse bed & dresser set from Pottery Barn. I particularly like the honey colored finish to the wood.This two piece set has been designed in the Shaker style and is simple and stylish. They’ve created the piece to look romantic with or without a canopy cover, and with it’s clean straight lines I think this bed could work well in a number of settings. Again it’s made with tough hardwoods so it won’t fall apart on you. You can see clearly that the bed lends itself to a more casual country type interior decor in complete contrast to the more ornate example above. If you wish you can buy a sheer canopy drape to go with the bed.

This last bedroom set, is a queen sized six piece set, and I think offers a nice compromise between the first two examples.Again we have the dark coffee colored finish but, like the second example, with clean straight lines, perfect for a more modern setting. The accompanying furniture continues the contemporary feel and with such a set you can afford to be a bit more adventurous with the decoration in the rest of the room. Perhaps some strong color on an accent wall would work well. At around $2400 I really like this bedroom set.
