• Looking to make a big impact in a small (or not so small) space, look no further than this coroneted wallpaper from British company Graham and Brown. The graphic black-and-white combo is definitely an attention-getter, and you can even purchase little rhinestones to bejewel the crowns as you please, adding an unexpected spark to otherwise plebian walls.
• Who doesn't want to feel like royalty upon waking up each morning? This corona canopy is far from little-girl-princess-y, and is a great way to add some Romantic Era glamour to the bedroom. Pair it with some muslin or other light, natural-woven fabric to bring the look down to earth and away from an overdone or gaudy look. Via Sarah Klassen/Haute Design
• A more understated (yet no less noteworthy) approach to adding some regality to a room is with crown-adorned artwork and accessories. The subdued tones of these pieces not only compliment the overall color scheme of the room, but they also subtly allude to entering a royal inner sanctum every time you head to bed. Via Morph Design
• Another look we can't get enough of are crown-centric vignettes in great spaces such as offices or living rooms. We've spotted royal-worthy headgear at thrift stores, flea markets, and even some discount retail stores that are anything but your daughter's dress-up tiaras. The varying patinas on these from Ally at From The Right Bank exude old world charm with a bit of mystery, and are certainly an intriguing conversation piece for any space.
• If formal hardware isn't your thing or you're looking for an afternoon craft for on a rainy day, consider these fun kronas from Paper Source. Just add some ribbon, rhinestone stickers, glitter glue or puffy paint and create original works of art in bright fun colors. The site suggests layering crowns for a truly unique royal look, making these great for letting kids create and add some regal accents to their own spaces.

We—the royal we—are not amused.
Sometimes I wish there was a like button so I could show love to the previous comments :)
I'm sure some of you probably are thinking the same thing...but everytime I see a crown, all I can think of is the tacky air fresheners that some people put in their cars.
But I suppose that in small amounts, unlike the wallpaper, it could be classy.
I think the wallpaper could be great in a guest WC with royal purple towels, etc. Why not help to make your guests feel like royalty?
I think the crown motif would fit perfectly in an older historical home. I particularly like the wallpaper. It could an extra pop of detail in a room or help break up a continuous space on a statement wall. The paper crowns would be a great idea for a birthday party favor or craft for a baby shower.
I really like the small metal crowns for our formal dining room. They would look great lined up next to my tea cups in the china cabinet. I'll have to try this idea.
I live in a historical home and I'd never deign to place a crown in any American historical home.
Either way, no thanks. Seems the authors taste is in her mouth.
I love the artwork above the bed. It's how I envision my neice's room will look when she matures.
Seeing the crown blown up over the bed really puts it out of context and makes it an architectural piece. I love how unexpected it is. Also love the idea for vignettes. I'm not bored at all with this.
I totally love this! As someone who is currently redecorating, I am always struggling to create spaces that are less "vanilla" without being over the top. I have never considered crowns as a way to jazz up my space. The wallpaper would add interest without being too loud. Also, my daughter would die for the crown canopy. I am gonna have to put the hubs to work on these ideas asap. Thanks for the great ideas!
Wow... I'd pay obscene dollars to have that crown above my little's princesses bed! Thanks for the great ideas, I like each one so awesomely much :)
This reads very Toddlers and Tiaras to me.
I've been planning a room makeover for my daughters and I love the crown paintings. Something like that would be perfect for their "grown up" girl room. Thanks for the idea!
I have an antique crown plaque on the guest bath door, it just makes it easier for guests to find the room without asking!
With a daughter & son who love everything kings, princes, and princesses - they would LOVE this! I love the paper crown craft idea too - puts the crowns my mom has made for my kids to shame! ;)
I’m not really sure about all that.
It's just so...obvious.
For scrapbooking, yes. For my wall, no.
