Canopy Bed Curtains: The Coziest Bedroom Upgrade

Design: Studio Duggan | Photography: Mark Anthony Fox and Sarah Griggs

Canopy bed curtains are having such a moment right now, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Canopy bed curtains instantly add that layered, cozy feeling that makes a bedroom feel like a retreat rather than just a place to sleep.

In my recent Interior Design Trends for 2026 post, I mentioned how much I’m loving spaces that feel soft, personal, and intentionally lived-in. And this is the perfect example of just that. Bed curtains create a “room within a room,” turning your sleep space into its own cozy little nook.

I love that they work in spaces of all sizes. In smaller bedrooms, they help you lean into the cozy instead of fighting it. The enclosure feels calming, almost like a gentle cocoon. And in larger rooms, they do the opposite in the best way: they take up space, add presence, and bring in a sense of architecture and intimacy.

The key is in the layers. Sheer fabrics for lightness, heavier textures for depth, patterns if you’re feeling bold. It’s romantic, timeless, and surprisingly modern (yet infinitely timeless).
