Four Poster

by laura on August 31, 2010

I have been working on a few bedrooms this summer and have had my eye on four poster  beds….

with and without the canopy.

loved everything in the third image – such an updated look for the poster bed but I REALLY love the fourth one (Elle Decor). It looks like an iron interpretation of the four poster. wonderful!

Is there a way to go wrong with a canopy? Not here!!!

I have really thought of doing some kind of fabric on my 4 poster …it is traditional and can use a fresh up!

I have a four poster without the canopy and just soft tie on cotton voile sheers at the head of the bed. I love it!! It gives architecture to the room and just makes the bed feel more special, I guess. Love all the images you have shown,Kathysue

Love the red…….I actually love the whole way that room is put together – traditional but so fun!

Love this post. I am a 4 poster fan and currently trying to refine my design for our own line. Always on the lookout on how to make something better so it helps to see posts like this. Thank you!

I have one in my guest room without a canopy.
I loved the canopy when I was a little girl, because it was like playing tent.
Now not so much. All that fabric to catch dust kind of puts me off.

Gorgeous! Normally when I think four poster, I don’t get to excited, but these are spectacular!

Love that first image! Though the Barbie painting is a little odd. :)
