A canopy is not only a stylish solution for a bedroom, but also a way to protect your bed from dust, drafts, prying eyes, and also to divide the space of the room, which is especially important for studio apartments.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, agreed to tell how to build the simplest canopy with your own hands.

For this you will need, first of all, light, airy tulle curtains draped with tape.

Choose canvases so that their length is equal to the distance from the ceiling to the floor in your bedroom.

In addition, you will have to take care of the presence of ceiling cornices. Their total length should be equal to the perimeter of the bed (it is allowed to take a little more).

Installing a canopy is not difficult at all.

You will need to attach the cornices to the ceiling in such a way that a rectangle is formed above the bed (at this stage, you may need the help of professionals so as not to damage the ceiling).

Once everything is ready, hang the curtains on the rod. That's it - an effective and at the same time useful decoration for the bedroom is ready.
