The Best Canopy Beds -- Feng Shui

Here is another favorite of mine!

The Celeste Sky Bed designed by Kris Van den Berghe is a new concept in sky beds that encompasses modern design conveying a cocooning tone with a touch of Zen!

Celeste is a mobile sky you can place over any bed; it transforms your sleeping area into an intimate sleeping hut!

OK, I know when you think of a "canopy bed," you don't normally think of a hardtop! But, this bed is so cool -- it actually transitions between the canopy and sky bed.

Courtney Skott describes her design as being inspired by Ming Dynasty-era Chinese alcove beds, and the idea of the bed as a 'room within a room.' Here the form is updated, and the mobility provided by the casters lends itself to flexible, open-plan contemporary living spaces.

The overall form is pierced with a pattern derived from digital photographs of clouds taken on a trip to Patagonia. The cloud motif refers both to the Western association of clouds with sleep and dreams, and the Chinese symbology of clouds as a harbinger of rain and fertility.

I adore this bed designed by Kenneth Cobonpue and again, you'll note this is a variation on the "canopy" theme!

This bed is made of Buri, the core of the coconut leaf, which gives the bed a nature-like design. It's also composed of steel and abaca. Would you believe? There's also an outdoor version of this bed. How cool is that? You can get it in a queen or king size too.

OK, I want one of these!!!

Honestly, when I think of a canopy bed that's romantic, this one hits the spot!

The Maria Magdalena is a Moor & Moor design.

There are undoubtedly imitations of this canopy bed, but you can get the true Maria Magdalena only from Moor & Moor.

This beautiful italian canopy bed was designed by Vico Magistretti a world-renowed Italian designer. Wikipedia has a bit of his biography.

What I like about this particular canopy bed is its clean lines and versatility--the bed is adaptable. This bed comes out from the idea of traditional canopy beds of the nineteenth-century and revised into a modern style. The slim structure in white-lacquered iron creates an elegant color contrast with the gilt brass rings of the vertical supports.

Again, it's another Italian bed! Yes, this bed harkens to Romeo and Juliet. It's designed by Antonio Citterio and manufactured by Maxalto.

It's contemporary with a touch of the classic. This canopy bed is available in the brushed cognac oak, brushed light oak, brushed black oak, grey oak and brown oak finishes, so there's surely one that will fit your tastes!

OMG, this is one gorgeous bed!! I think the photography really sells this, don't you? IMHO, it not only is romantic, but has that touch of zen.

It's another Italian design by Paola Navone for Gervasoni.

Here it is pictured with a backdrop of bamboo which bring a bit of nature to your bedroom. Ah.......

This canopy bed is a transitional and versatile bed that can work both inside and outside.

It's a José A. Gandía design, manufactured by Gandia Blasco. It's made of anodized aluminium with removable canvas upholstery of plastic material that's a polyuretane foam rubber available in a variety of colors.

OK, I will be the first to admit that when I found this bed that the name of it didn't particularly do anything for me aside from the "WE" in the title denoted a "you and me" and that CAN be romantic, right? Yep.

But, digging a little further on the Gervasoni website, I found that it was really short for their "Weekend" Collection. Well, how clever is that? This is another Italian design by Paola Navone.

This canopy bed is called the Francis, but it bears a resemblance to a couple of other beds shown above.

I'm trying to find this bed online, but only find it currently at one site.

Stay tuned for further details!

This particular canopy bed is a recent find. It's romantic and it's not an Italian design.

Stephen Owen is an English furniture designer-maker from Surrey. He describes this bed as a romantic brief ... for a silver wedding anniversary resulting in a fairy tale bed flounced with French voile ... Four poster in Brazilian Walnut features attached cabinets and integral lighting.

Yes, this canopy bed is romantic AND affordable plus it's available in the United States from Neiman Marcus.

It's an inviting bedroom suite with a rich hardwood, espresso finish. It has burlwood inlays along with carved details. The bed is available as a canopy or four-poster.

The Riva Canopy Bed is romantic, affordable, and quite stylish!

The headboard and footboard grills feature an intriguing pattern of ½ inch scrolls, tied with detailed wire wraps. The all-welded grills arch upwards in graceful swirls and curves, completing the 1 inch top rail. The distinctive shape on the center spindle casting draws your eye to the heart of the bed. Tall, 1 ½ inch, one-piece posts showcase beautiful, cast finials on top.

Best of all, the Riva hosts a simple linear canopy. It's the perfect place to drape billowing fabric to soften the architectural lines.
