Curtains and canopies: a feeling of security
A canopy or curtain over a baby bed creates a cosy atmosphere. The soft fabric reminds your child of the womb and provides a snug hideaway for sleep. It also shields against drafts and dim light, promoting restful nights. Paired with suitable cribs, mattresses & bedding, it completes the nursery look. Choose light colours and natural materials so the canopy remains breathable and your little one feels comfortable.
Safety and materials for canopies
Safety comes first when selecting a canopy. Experts recommend short canopies that reach only to the top edge of the crib and allow air to circulate freely. Long drapes can wrap around the baby or obstruct airflow. Ensure the canopy is securely fastened out of your child’s reach and airs out regularly. Natural fabrics such as cotton or linen are breathable and easy to care for. In our beds & bed linen section you will find matching blankets and pillows for a safe sleep.
Style and decoration in the nursery
Curtains and canopies also serve as stylish décor in the nursery. Colours and patterns can be coordinated with your overall room design, whether you prefer a minimalist Scandinavian look or playful florals. Pair them with mobiles & lamps to create a small universe above the bed. A delicate string of lights or a mobile with animals provides gentle distraction at bedtime. Complement the theme with matching wall decorations such as pictures or shelves. This turns the bed into a cosy retreat.
Installation and care of curtains and canopies
Install the canopy securely on the ceiling or on a canopy stand and check the fixtures regularly. Wash the fabric at low temperatures to keep it fresh and dust‑free. In warmer months, remove the canopy or swap it for lighter curtains to ensure adequate air circulation. Even after the baby stage, a canopy can be reused as a reading tent or cuddle corner. This versatile accessory will accompany your child for years to come.
