canopy bed

Curtained sleeping furniture

A canopy bed is a bed with four tall posts supporting a fabric covering overhead.

The canopy may be purely decorative or functional—historically it provided warmth and privacy in drafty rooms.

The style ranges from ornate four-posters with heavy drapes to modern minimalist frames: She'd dreamed of a canopy bed since childhood.
