When it comes to understanding the decorating needs of little girls, no design team has quite captured the hopeful, playful spirit than that of Disney.  The Disney Princess line of clothes, toys, and home décor offers every young lady a chance to embrace her inner princess.  An outstanding example of a luxury item in the princess line is the Disney Princess Canopy.

For toddlers, Disney offers a canopy toddler bed.  The bed is specially designed for the needs of young girls aged three to seven years old.  The white wire frame sits low to the ground to ensure safety in the event of a fall, and the sides closest to the head also have pretty pink or purple plastic safety guides for additional protection.  The headboard has whimsical design featuring Princesses Belle, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty; the built in canopy features Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella on a pink or purple satin structured canopy.  Coming from atop the canopy are four white sheer curtains with built in ties.  In addition to offering a fun feel for your toddler, the Disney toddler bed is competitively priced starting around $80.00, and available through many mass merchandisers or children’s specialty stores.

For older girls, Disney also offers full structured canopies that can be attached to an existing frame.  The pink canopy features all princesses, white and pink sheer embellished curtains, and is available for a full or twin bed.  The set comes with the canopy top, pillow cases, curtains, tiebacks, comforter, and matching throw pillows.  The consumer will need to obtain the canopy frame separately.  An additional feature to complete the Disney princess motif is the matching furniture, including dresser, costume rack, and wardrobe.  Home Depot also offers paints specially designed to match the Disney Princess line.  As this is a larger, lavish example of the Disney Princess Canopy, prices are higher, and generally start at $450.

However, other canopy options are available without purchasing the entire ensemble.  Free hanging canopies can be purchased at many retailers in purple and pink with a satin top featuring one or more princess.  These attractive items are hung from the ceiling, and are approximately 23” in diameter, with 101” in length.  Prices vary by individual design, but are usually quite affordable around $20-$50 apiece.  As the canopy is still part of the Princess line, any coordinating pieces found for the toddler or twin sized bed will still match.

A final example of the Disney Princess Canopy is a deluxe play tent.  Perfect for slumber parties, make believe, or family camping trips, this pop-up tend has Disney Princess graphics, Mylar mirror, inflatable sleeping/seating area, and hanging curtains with ties for embellishment and privacy.   The play tent can accommodate more than one person at a time and measures 60” x 60” x 69”.   The mattress area is easily inflatable with included pump.  Reasonably priced around $90, this item can be a perfect way to incorporate a sense of the Princess line without committing to redesigning an entire room

Regardless of the style you select, it should be noted that some Princess Canopy items can be challenging to locate.  Due to the popularity of the line, items frequently sell out, and storewide sales may not apply.
