How to Make a Canopy Bed on a Slanted Ceiling

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. • 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.

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