A forest-green bed crown is the perfect addition to this pastel-pink girls' bedroom. "This bed crown was inspired by my love of window boxes, and by turning one upside down I found it made a great form for a bed crown," Shoshana Gosselin says.

Tip: To hide a seam and cover any flaws, use fabric ribbon or bows as a colorful (and functional) adornment.

This monochrome, cream bedroom takes adult elegance to a whole new level. Designer Brooke Giannetti wanted to add a touch of drama to the tone-on-tone cream palette through the bed crown without leaving the overall color scheme.

"A fabric bed crown is an inexpensive and chic stand-in for a traditional headboard," Marian Parsons says. She used neutral hues and elegant, European-inspired toile fabric for her cornice-board creation. This type of bed crown is easy to make and can dress up any bedroom. "One can be made by simply stapling gathered fabric to a board and mounting it to the ceiling," Marian says.
