Emerged in Europe during the Middle Ages, the canopy bed is what sweet dreams are made of. Typically a four-poster frame draped in heavy curtain fabric, the “bed of kings, and the king of beds” was originally intended to provide warmth and privacy, since it was commonplace for lords and noblemen who first used these beds to share their sleeping chambers with their attendants. Today, these stately beds are making a comeback with modern interpretations. Here are some of our favorite updates on the classic piece.
