Things to consider before buying a canopy bed:
- The main thing to consider is how large is your room? A canopy bed can make a room feel smaller.
- Make sure to also check the height of your ceilings to make sure the bed will not be too tall.
- Be mindful of light fixtures and ceiling fans and make sure they will not be in the way of the bedframe.
