# How to Hang a Canopy in Your Room
As far back as the 13th century, canopies were suspended from the beams on four-poster beds and used to protect sleepers from insects and falling debris. Today, many in North America continue to use the canopy as part of a room's overall look. But now, instead of draping from the bed posts, canopies are often hung from the ceiling.
