Choosing a bedspread in the bedroom

The bedroom is a special space of the home, in which it is necessary to create an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. The right choice of bedspreads will help to complete its interior. The material of this article will tell you about the nuances of the purchase, the features of the models, and fashion trends.

More recently, it was believed that choosing a bedspread for a bedroom was as easy as shelling pears. When choosing, the emphasis was on the color of the curtains. Today, there are many other techniques through which you can significantly simplify the selection of one or another option.

The bedspread fits into the interior of the bedroom if it is in harmony with the bed linen. Therefore, many brands offer customers a line of sets, in which, in addition to a sheet, pillowcases and a duvet cover, there is a bedspread.

An ideal option is a product made of textiles that are resistant to washing, cleaning, deformation, fading. Its texture can be typical or extraordinary (with a metallic sheen, in the form of imitation of animal skin). The bedspread can mask defects in the bed frame, its legs.

By the type of functional purpose, the bedspread in the bedroom is different: for adults and children; often serves as a bedspread and a blanket at the same time. In addition, it may differ in shape, which is selected based on the shape of the existing bed.

Blankets for beds are made from different raw materials, which determines the texture of the finished product, its service life, and the type of care. Bedspreads are sewn from cotton, silk, linen, wool, natural or synthetic fur.

Besides, tapestry, jacquard, plush, velor, satin, microfiber, satin are often used in their production. It also comes in velvet, fleece and even bamboo. Given the deformability of natural materials, combined fibers are often used in the production of blankets.

For example, cotton and linen are environmentally friendly, but quickly fade and shrink after several washes (cleanings). To maintain shape and original color, synthetic fibers are added to natural fibers. In this case, the coating can be both classic and textured (for example, quilted).

Silk models look expensive, but they have a slippery surface type. Even viscose models are short-lived because they wipe quickly. To improve the quality of products, artificial threads are woven into them.

Bamboo fabric is considered innovative. Eco-friendly and "breathable" models of blankets are made from it. Options from polyester hypoallergenic, strong, durable, but poorly breathable.

Fur models are warm enough. Depending on the variety, they are used as a blanket and a blanket. For example, these options include products of a double-sided type. From the front side they are fur, from the inside - fleece, cotton, knitted.

The size of the bedspread depends on the bed. For example, for double models, wide panels are acquired, which almost completely hide the bed, its foot. For single and one-and-a-half beds, they mainly purchase options from light fabrics without decor.

If the bed is bunk, buy two identical models. The ideal solution for beds with two backs is the purchase of a model with an elastic band. It is easy to tuck in, making the bed aesthetically pleasing. For round beds, coverings are made to order, taking into account the required dimensions. Sometimes you have to focus on the size of the mattress.

For a bed with beautiful carvings, take a short bedspread. It is tucked under the frame. In general, the size is selected so that the product covers the legs of the bed by half. Moreover, its length can reach 2 m.

Today manufacturers produce blankets and bedspreads in several sizes: 140x200, 160x200, 180x200, 200x220 cm. The parameters of European standards are as follows: 220x240, 230x250, 270x270 cm.The diameter of round models can be 2-2.5 m.

Determining the right size is easy:

• the size of the bedspread for a cot is 110x140 cm;

• for one-and-a-half (teenage) beds, buy options 140x220 cm;

• if the double bed does not need to be covered with a blanket, it is worth taking a product with parameters 170x210 or 180x220 cm;

• Euro formats are selected based on the size of the beds, while the optimal allowance should be 20-30 cm from the sides, where there are no restrictions in the form of a back or a wall;

• the maximum parameter 270x270 is already taken for custom-made beds.

The color scheme of the models can be very diverse, ranging from neutral and white tones to rich bright and dark shades.

• Neutral colors (white, gray, silver, graphite) are considered classics. They suit almost any color scheme of interior design.

• Bedspreads in light colors look stylish and expensive. Pastel shades diluted with white are in fashion. In addition to them, shades of beige, milk, chocolate are considered universal options. Turquoise blue, lilac, blue, purple, green tones are popular.

• Double-sided bedspreads are in fashion. As a rule, they are light on the one hand, and bright on the other. This design technique allows you to change the mood of the interior in one move. In addition, such products can be folded back at the headboard, complementing with sofa cushions of different sizes.

The bedspread should be an accent of the bedroom interior, not contradicting the colors and style. In this case, the color does not have to be the same: it is enough to get into the general gamut. For example, in a blue bedroom, it can be turquoise or blue-green. If the bedroom is decorated in beige tones, the shade of the coating can be white or brownish.

Taking into account the temperature of the tones is of great importance. If the windows of the room face the north side, it is better to choose the option in warm colors. If the windows face south, it is better to give preference to a product in a cool color scheme.

The right bedspread matches the design of the bed. In addition, it is pleasant to the body, made of high quality natural, artificial material or blended fibers.

It is fashionable to choose a model with a print that echoes the pattern of the bed pillows. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that the drawing is exactly repeated. A slight coincidence of the pattern elements is enough. So the product can become the center of the interior composition.

The design of the models differs based on the style of the interior.

• For example, for the Baroque style, multiple frills, flounces and ruffles are appropriate. These bedspreads hang down to the floor, covering the legs of the bed. They are often quilted, embossed, decorated with embroidery.

• If the room is made in country or Provence style, it is more advisable to buy a product made from natural textiles. It can be simple or decorated with simple embroidery, narrow ruffles.The option from fabric with a discreet floral print will help to convey the desired mood.

• Products in the style of minimalism are characterized by strict simplicity. Often these are bedspreads without a pattern, made in light or neutral colors.

• For high-tech interiors it is worth buying a product made of plain textiles with a metallic sheen.

• Scandinavian style bedspread has a simple ornament.

• Products of the Italian manufacturer Arte Pura have high wear resistance and hygroscopicity. The models are distinguished by their spectacular design, softness, and resistance to odor absorption. They have a healing effect and are suitable for allergy sufferers.

When buying a particular model of bedspreads for a bed in a bedroom, it is worth considering a number of recommendations.

• Product color is selected in a single color scheme with a furniture set or wall, floor, ceiling cladding (they are guided by one thing).

• You need to buy an option with a print in such a way, so that the model's drawing echoes the patterns on the decorative elements of the interior (for example, carpet, pillows, curtains).

• Panel size should be selected taking into account the size of the bed. The cover should not be spread across the floor.

• The correct choice implies taking into account the placement of the berth, the presence of a back and foot.

As for the type of texture, there are also some nuances here. For example, silk bedspreads are appropriate for spacious bedrooms. In small rooms, they look defiant. For such interiors, it is better to select options from mixed materials. They are pleasant to the body, and due to the synthetic component they do not wrinkle and give a pleasant sheen.

Variants with an unusual texture are in fashion. They are able to bring originality to the most ordinary interior, and when necessary - to give it a slight negligence. Favorites - knitted, quilted models, as well as products with imitation of fur. Exclusive do-it-yourself options (crocheted or knitted) are relevant.

Soft multi-layer sets are also in the spotlight. They can consist of bed linen, bedspread, knitted blanket, runner, several cushions. Moreover, each element can be decorated with some kind of decor. For example, on the pillows there can be voluminous flowers, ruffles in the form of pleated frills, edging. The cover on the front side can be two-layer.
