House bed heaven: adding bed curtains for extra charm

What are bed curtains? 

Bed curtains are fabric panels used to surround a bed. These are typically fitted to the bedframe itself, hanging down and draping around the bed. Typically these work best with our house beds, providing a sturdy frame to form the basis of your new bed curtains. View our complete range of house beds.

Also often referred to as a bed canopy, bed curtains aren’t a new invention and have in fact been around for centuries. Their usage has however evolved from functional to fun, adding a playful touch to the bedrooms of children of all ages. Some teens or adults may even find themselves tempted by the idea of a bed canopy for their own rooms. Bed curtains are truly a brilliant way to add a touch of magic to any space. Bed curtains should however be avoided for the youngest of children and are not advised for children and babies under the age of two. View our complete range of bed canopies.

If bed curtains aren’t quite right for your space, you might be interested in 100% muslin cotton canopy. This versatile item can be used in a variety of ways, from over a bed or in a reading corner or playspace. 

Why choose bed curtains?

Choosing bed curtains allows you to customise your children’s furniture and room layout to the next level. Bed curtains can be used to add a decorative element to a children's bedroom, create a private space for your child and/or encourage imaginative play and creativity using their house beds.

Adding a decorative element to a children’s bedroom

Soft furnishings are always a great way to add a decorative element to a space. A bed curtain or canopy is a simple addition that has a huge impact, allowing you to add a splash of colour to your house beds or showcase an element of your child’s personality with their favourite colour. Adding colour can work wonders in a children's bedroom, warming up a neutral colour palette or breaking up a space using colour-blocking. Colour can also be a great way of providing separate areas for siblings using their distinctive colour choices, for instance different colour bedding paired with painted headboards and wall hangings in their chosen colour palette. 

Creating a cosy and private space for children

Bed curtains and canopies are also an effective way of creating a cosy and private space for children. Children moving into their own room for the first time might feel intimidated by the larger space and benefit from a cosy corner to help them settle in. Likewise, children who are sharing with siblings may appreciate a space to call their own where they can enjoy some downtime with their favourite blanket or soft toy. Paired with our 100% organic cotton bed curtains, our house beds are the perfect solution, creating a private space that is uniquely theirs. While there are numerous benefits to sharing a room with a sibling, even the youngest of children will enjoy their own space some of the time. 

Encouraging imaginative play and creativity

Lastly, there’s no denying that there’s something truly magical about our soft bed curtains and billowing canopies. Our bed curtains and canopies make the perfect backdrop for your little ones wildest dreams, both asleep and awake! Watch them dream peacefully of towering castles and decadent ballrooms, or sailing the high seas with their sails blowing in the wind. Simply by adding bed curtains to their room along with their existing house beds you’re opening up a whole world of play possibilities, from a theatre set to knights leaping into battle, your little one is bound to surprise you with the games they dream up in their house beds. 

So don’t forget to consider soft textiles such as our bed curtains, canopies and play tents in your children's bedroom design – these lightweight additions can transform your furniture and space. View our complete range of children’s furniture.
