Make A Canopy Bed On A Slanted Ceiling







Even beds that lay beneath a slanted ceiling can have a canopy.


Canopy beds can be made in two ways: The bed can have a special frame attached to it for fabric to be draped over, or the canopy can be created separately and hung over any bed. If you'd like to create a canopy bed under a slanted ceiling, having a canopy bed frame attached isn't an option because one of the ends wouldn't fit beneath the ceiling. However, you can position the bed according to your preference before attaching a hoop canopy over it to create the look you desire.


Instructions


1. Move your bed against the wall, beneath the slanted ceiling. The head of the bed should be positioned under the part of the slant that is ascending.


2. Mark a spot on the ceiling, centered right above the head of the bed.


3. Install a screw-in wall hook in the ceiling, over the pencil-marked point, by twisting the sharp tip on the opposite end of the hook into the ceiling in a clockwise direction.


4. Hang a hoop canopy from the hook. The fabric will drape down over the bed and can be arranged to surround the entire bed.
