Baldahin - a thing not only beautiful, but also practical. Most often it is used in the design of a children's room . Covering the bed with a weightless tulle fabric, you create a separate space, protecting the child's sleep from extraneous views, smells and sounds. Also, experience shows that in the summer, the canopy perfectly protects against annoying insects. But aesthetics matters. The four-poster bed will make the bedroom more comfortable, the ceilings are higher, and the surrounding space is visually clearer.
Holder for canopy - types and features of use
So, you have already purchased a beautiful fabric of the right color or a ready canopy. How now to hang it over the crib? To do this, the holder for the canopy is useful. It is a long bracket, specially fixed on the support. The canopy holder, as a rule, is attached to the side of the cot. It can be fixed either directly on the top of the ridge on the short side, or at two points - from below and from above. It is even easier to hang a fabric for this design: you just need to put a canopy on the oval or round rod of the holder designed for the fabric, and it's done!
Secretly, we can say that we can do without a holder: instead of it we use a profile cornice attached to the ceiling. However, this is not the best practice, since a baby crib is usually used only in the first few years of a child's life, and then a teenage girl comes to replace it, and you will not be able to rearrange it in such a room.
You can buy the bracket that comes with the crib (some models are sold that way). But there is also a more practical solution - a universal holder for the canopy. It is suitable for any thickness of the sides, height and other dimensions of the crib. The versatility of this device is achieved through mobile fasteners, which can be fixed in any desired place.
When buying a holder, you should pay attention to what it is made of. Usually it is a metal tube covered with enamel, or a bracket made of plastic. In any case, these materials should be safe for babies who often lick or gnaw the sides of the crib , and with them a tripod. It should also be noted that most parents generally remove the canopy when the grown up child starts to pull and pull on the fabric.
There is a holder for the canopy, designed for an adult bed. If your bedroom is decorated in the style of a country, a shebbie-chic or a provence, why buy a device that allows you to curtain the curtains at night so that nothing distracts you from rest? Often a canopy or canopy is installed in one-room apartments or studios, thus separating the sleeping area from the rest.
"Adult" holder for the canopy often happens to be wall-mounted and installed in the headboard. Made such a fastening of metal (most often it is chrome or wrought iron), plastic, wood or MDF. Thanks to this you will be able to choose a model that will best match the design of the room. You can buy such a bracket in almost any store where curtains and cornices are sold to them. However, take into account that you can not hang a heavy fabric on the plastic holder, the same can be said for the constructions from MDF. The rest of the materials are more versatile, but there are also some nuances here: thus, the tree does not look very good with a flying veil, "preferring" more expensive fabrics, and forging does not fit into any interior. Ideally, the selection of the holder and support for the canopy should be entrusted to a professional designer.
