Fairy Light Canopy Above a Bed

Fairy LED lights are easy to drape above a bed to create a cozy glow that feels as if it is wrapping around the bed. Use sheer curtains or a fairy light net with a few ceiling hooks to weave the lights through in whatever way you want. You can leave some strands hanging around the headboard or along the edges of the room for a more ‘bedraggled’ look, perfect for hosting movie nights with friends, or for curling up under with a good book. Warm fairy lights are ideal for creating this dreamy escape, and you can make your movie nights even more impressive by draping them around your screen area too.

You can even go one step further and add star and moon accents for extra depth.
