Hi, Simply Seleta readers! I’m Jenny from the blog, Little Green Notebook. I absolutely adore Seleta and it is such a treat to write here today!
I know Seleta loves a beautifully decorated child’s room as much as I do, so I thought I’d talk a little about canopy beds. One of my favorites has to be this Katie Ridder room featured in Elle Decor:
We recently moved to a new apartment in a new city, so I get to redo my two oldest girls shared room (here’s what it looked like before). With our high ceilings combined with my daughters’ love of everything princess, I have been thinking canopies over their twin beds might be really fun.
Then the other day we were killing some time at FAO Schwartz and I saw this tented canopy over a display area.
It’s hard to see what’s happening with the fabric in these crappy phone photos, but they combined a Liberty of London floral and a gingham check. I think I would have gone with a check in a bigger scale, but I loved the look.
I haven’t buckled down on the design yet and I’m still contemplating DIY approaches for a similar look. Part of me wants to go even simpler though. Check out some of these canopies that would be so easy to recreate:
I enjoyed visiting here today!

P.S. Seleta did a great round up of canopy beds here.

Each one is more beautiful than the next. I love a fabric story in a bedroom and each of these canopies tell their own story. Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful roundup- I particularly love the room with the elephant print and the last one from Palmer Weiss. Kids’ rooms are so whimsical and lively!
I have always wanted to have a canopy bed. I always love a more mod canopy and then the mosquito netted bed’s in “Out of Africa” always seem so idyllic. Great round-up and I look forward to see what Jenny does with her girl’s city canopy beds.

Great post with some great inspiration! I popped over to your blog to see your children’s room re-do. SO SO SO cute! I loved it and loved that you did it on a budget, beautiful! Thanks for the post!
beautiful roundup!! thanks for including me!

I had a canopy bed when I was little — I think my mom was a little ahead of her time! — and I HATED it! Now, I’m not sure what I was thinking. I would LOVE to have a canopy bed for myself … and these kiddo ones are adorable. I’m sure my mom would get such a kick out of me decorating with a canopy bed :)
Great post – the first pic (from Elle) is so gorgeous – I want MY room to look like that! Love the twin beds with the half-canopies… I wonder if it would work for boy/girl combined rooms? Maybe in yellow…
What a beautiful lineup of images!
Adore a bed with a canopy – such a sense of luxury…
I’d love to know the source for the lovely white and rosy pink floral canopy over the white child’s bed. Do delicate and pretty. Any chance you could help with a photo source or fabric/canopy source? Lovely post, beautiful rooms!
Those bedrooms are all lovely, my favorites are number 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12.
Great post, I love your blog.
Have a nice day.
Hugs.
