This DIY Canopy Bed can be built with just a few basic tools and about $375 in lumber! We share the free plans, how-to video and a step-by-step tutorial so you can build your own!
I've been wanting to build a new bed so I was looking online for inspiration when I found a few canopy bed ideas that I loved! The pictures convinced me that my room wouldn't feel smaller with the four-poster bed and that I needed one yesterday ;) The retail price for the beds was over $2,000 before shipping. So, I got busy designing my new DIY Canopy Bed idea and had Whitney come over to help me build it! We were able to build it for about $375 in framing lumber that we found at our local hardware store!

“I did the math” ….. Yes, that bites me every time! I got brave and browsed a furniture store. There was a gorgeous canopy bed in there. Once I stopped freaking out over the price, I decided to double check with your plans! Y’all are awesome!

This is amazing! Thank you for the awesome work and sharing with us!! Can you please explain how the mattress fits on the bed? The building plans look like the mattress sinks into the bed, but the final finish and photos make it seem like it sits on top of the bed? The reason for the question is because I don't know how much clearance to allow for between the base and the mattress if it fits inside the base...

Those Kreg bits are terrible. I love using the pocket holes for projects but the driver bit seems to strip after just a few screws. No matter how straight you keep it. Only way is to go super slow and who has time for that. Buy a long square bit from Milwaukee and problem solved.

This channel is more of an assembly channel vs. building. Whenever you drill a pocket hole, you barely create any sawdust. How is that even possible?. Oh, I know you didn't really just drill the hole. And stop lying to people... I have the same pocket hole jig. If you go from stock, that is really thick to something that is much thinner. You do have to adjust it. That is what the small know on the side is for.
