Center Stage

I've seen so many beds (both adult and children) set apart by focal point canopies here lately.  The right blend of textiles will visually draw the eye up, making the space appear taller.  Acoustically, fabric on the walls (even certain window treatments) it will help buffer the tiny, gleeful voices coming from a child's play place during the day.   This would even make a neat reading nook in a bedroom corner.  If you try to incorporate this look at home, consider hiring a handyman for a careful, secure installation.  I would also suggest having them pinned back with a fun drapery tie back during sleep hours.   It's not a good idea to try this over a crib, unless the fabrics are very far out of reach from baby!

A traditional approach, with a touch of whimsy!  Thank you Elle Decor.

The four-poster bed provided an existing foundation for panels.

Don't forget your playroom!  What a great way to ignite your child's imagination.
