Follow these steps for safe and correct installation.

Choose location: Select a secure point on the ceiling above the center of the bed or at the headboard, ensuring clear space.
Install ceiling hook (if required):
- Locate a ceiling joist for secure mounting.
- Drill a pilot hole and screw in the provided hook securely.
Attach canopy:
- Identify the top center of the canopy fabric.
- Loop the hanging straps or integrated loops over the ceiling hook or bed frame attachment point.
- Adjust so the canopy hangs evenly around the bed.
Final check: Gently tug on the canopy to ensure it is secure. Adjust fabric draping as desired.

CAUTION! Use appropriate tools and hardware for your ceiling type. If unsure, consult a professional.

Care & Cleaning

Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of the canopy.

Regular maintenance: Shake out dust gently or use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
