Choosing a bedspread on the bed

Bedroom design has always held a special place. It is very important comfort, at the same time I want to make a modern interior. Textiles play a significant role in this business. In the bedroom are important curtains, pillows, decorations, as well as bed linen. Soft sheets, duvet cover, pillowcases - these components should be in harmony and create the necessary atmosphere. It is also important to have a bedspread on the bed. In modern design, this detail is often omitted, but this is somewhat wrong, and it needs to be given due attention.

Do I need a bedspread

Many modern styles deviate from the tradition of using a veil, because it is often not used, lying aside. But you need to think about whether to abandon it. To begin with, the veil has two important functions.

  • Protective. It can be called the outer shell of the bed. This part covers the duvet cover and other linen, thereby saving it from the negative effects of the external environment. These may be the sun's rays, leading to fading of the fabric; sedimentation of dust, leading to rapid pollution; pieces of dirt covering up with clothes. Usually the bed cover is made of such a fabric that is easy to wash and dries quickly, which allows it to fully perform its functions.
  • Aesthetic. Bed linen is not always matched to the future design. A bedspread should be in harmony with the situation in the bedroom. Thus, it can block the appearance of bed linen, make the atmosphere more homogeneous and make the bed an element of decor.

If you still have questions, we will definitely answer: a bedspread is a necessary detail. No wonder that there is such a thing. Now more about the correct choice of this element of textiles.

Main selection criteria

When buying you need to take into account many factors. They will help you choose the right products and not waste your money. These include the company and the country of origin, size, appearance condition and others.

Undoubtedly, the thing must be of high quality. Before purchasing it is necessary to inspect for defects, also to try to touch, to consider and evaluate in detail and fully. And now we will consider some criteria, sometimes forgotten and having implementation options.

Criterias of choice

Style Options Material Design
Modern, historical, ethnic. The size

  • baby;
  • single;
  • polutoraspalnoe;
  • double;
  • king size
In the most general form, natural and synthetic. Monochrome color, photo printing, print.

Now more about the selection criteria.

We select the material

This is one of the main criteria, since the state of the product, its density and reliability in use depend on it. Covers are made of various fabrics, the characteristics of which vary.

To begin with, all fabrics used as a basis can be divided into two large groups:

  • synthetic;
  • natural.

The first group is more popular. This is due primarily to pricing, because this option will be cheaper. Also, synthetics have other positive qualities: it pollutes more slowly, is more durable in wearing, keeps its shape for a long time, does not shed.

Natural fabrics will be a salvation for allergies and people supporting environmental trends. These materials have the ability to "breathe", that is, to pass air well. But they have some drawbacks: fade after washing, fade in the sun, less durable.

Natural dense fabrics with a smooth surface include coarse calico, satin, poplin. They are light, well breathable, well-shaped, easy to maintain. Covers from them will turn out quite thin. It is worth noting that these fabrics are often used for sewing bed linen.

Satin Covers

Covers of satin are made of cotton woven fibers, have a silky sheen, quite dense, pleasant to the touch

Natural relief materials: Jacquard, tapestry. They are suitable for those who want to have a dense and luxurious bedspread. These fabrics, as well as dive, were used for upholstery and furniture capes in the royal chambers. Accordingly, in the modern world their price will be quite high.

Jacquard Cover

The jacquard ornament is made of several threads, thanks to which the pattern on the fabric looks volume and beautiful.

Silk and satin are also often made over the bed. They will make the interior truly luxurious. But the natural base of this series has a high price.

The next group consists of fleecy fabrics, such as velor, fur and plush. They give a cozy bedroom, make it warmer and more tender. Good for use in cold seasons. Their disadvantages are mono to consider fast absorption of dust, impossibility of washing in the machine (only dry cleaning is possible). Also, it is not advisable to lie on such a bedspread, as the fur quickly heaves from this.

Velor bedspread

You can find covers made of fleece and microfiber. Due to their composition and appearance, they can rather be attributed to blankets and used as a blanket. But if you choose a similar product with a good print, it is quite suitable for the role of a cape on the bed, but it will look quite simple.

Thus, we looked at the fabrics most commonly used for sewing blankets. Further, the choice is yours.

Suitable size

The next important factor is size. It affects the appearance, and how the cover can perform its functions. In general, the size is chosen to fit the bed, therefore, they can be divided as follows:

  • single;
  • polutoraspalnoe;
  • double;
  • king size;
  • baby

Also need to determine the measurements. It is worth remembering that Russian and European standards are different, so be sure to measure your bed before purchasing. Then you need to add 10-15 cm from three sides to the received figures so that the product completely covers the mattress and part of the bed.

If you want to achieve a trendy look for a bedspread, add a few more centimeters to touch the floor. How many centimeters you need to add depends on the height of the bed. Another modification of the appearance: when the edges of the product gracefully spread along the floor. In this case, you need to pick up a blanket with elongated corners, or add a little more material along the entire length (except for the part that will be at the head of the head).

Choosing a style

The main rule for the existence of this criterion is harmony. That is, choose the style of textiles so that it fits the overall flow of the room.But sometimes it is difficult to find a detail that will fully fit the mood, especially since the style of the curtains does not have an extensive selection.

In general, the styles in which such a product can be made can be divided into modern, ancient and separate ethnic groups as a separate group. Take this conditional classification.

In modern, the most distinctive can be identified minimalism, high-tech and classic.

The first can be recognized by the uniform color with the presence of small linear patterns.

The high-tech style in this case can be dubbed any modern bedspread that has concise strict features and colors inherent in the elements of the direction

The classic is characterized by calm tones and the presence of smooth, often rounded patterns.

Among the old, or rather aged ones, we single out the chalet, Provence and historical trends. The first two are the epitome of rustic design. The chalet is more to the rough and simple forms, brevity and simplicity.

In Provence, you will find gentle, calm tones with rustic motifs (often floral print).

Historical destinations are luxurious. In the interior, this group includes Baroque, Empire, eclecticism. Bedspreads in this style contain a golden color (often in combination with red), fringe, tassels, folds, hanging hangers. The fabric in this case is selected heavy, tough, to match the luxury of design.

Determine the design

The design of the bedspread is selected, of course, taking into account its style. The previous criterion determines the overall design direction and position that must be sustained to create a harmonious interior. We now turn to the design and consider a more detailed design of the bed.

The design is primarily determined by the colors and prints. Current trends are as follows: natural tones and a discreetly strict pattern are in fashion. Eggplant, malachite, the whole range of gray, brown and blue - this is the basis, which is welcomed at this stage of development of the design. As you can see, dark, soothing shades are more popular. But for a light interior it is necessary to select the appropriate colors.

Kit in blue

A set of bedspreads and pillows in blue is perfect for a spacious bedroom.

So, white will never go out of style. The basis of the classics is a black and white combination. It can be expressed within the same bed, that is, in the combination of bed linen and bedspreads. Also the combination can be realized within the whole room.

Black and white bedspread

If you want to create a full light design of the room without adding dark colors, white in this case will create an excellent base. Combine it with blue, mauve, lilac, pink, olive, mint, eucalyptus.

Talked about colors, now about design.

In addition to the monochromatic coating, you can choose any design suitable for the interior of the bedspread. We mentioned that at the moment in fashion vague patterns. A calm base is perfect for this. Use it to translate simple and elegant ideas.

Also a good idea would be photo printing. This option is currently available to everyone.It will be somewhat more expensive than purchasing a ready-made blanket with a pattern, but it's worth it.

Photo printing on textiles will display any time in the life of your child or your own. The advantage of this procedure is that the picture is clear and very bright.

Important!

Photo printing should be carried out only on artificial materials.

In a separate chapter is to provide 3D images. You can order this option for manufacturing individually, as well as select ready-made drawings. It is worth noting that among the commercially available bedspreads with 3D images a large selection of different options.

Still in use curtains with various prints. This may be a scattering of colors, more complex patterns or any image.

When choosing a design, we have a wide variety of options. Here it must be remembered that the main thing in the selection is harmonious combinations.

Do not forget about age

This criterion depends on whose room the veil is located in. According to the age factor we divide the veil into 3 groups:

  • children;

    Baby bedspread

    Baby bedspread with cars for the bed in the boy's room

  • teenage;

    Teenage bedspread

  • adults.

    Golden bedspread

At first glance, this factor is insignificant. However, it greatly influences the choice of size, material and design.

So, for a child's room, you need to pick up simple, quickly washed and quick-drying fabrics. Synthetic materials are best suited here. But for allergy sufferers (which is often found among children), choose a natural hypoallergenic base. The design and size should be appropriate for the children's room.

The teenage cover becomes simpler, rather than children's and displays personal preferences of the child. He is already at an age when he can independently choose a design, and other criteria are better chosen together.

Further, the subject expands accordingly, and the size increases. It is necessary to pick up a bedspread on the parental bed in accordance with their preferences and bedroom style.

Cover as an element of decor

To make a bedspread in the bedroom is not only the subject of textiles, and an element of decor should pay attention not only to its design, but also to the form and model. So, the following models will make to pay special attention to the bedspread.

  • With ruffles and ruffles. This option is suitable for a nursery, parents' bedroom, made in a romantic or luxurious historical style. It all depends on the color and variation of performance.

Also, this model is well suited for the children's room, where children often jump on the bed and can knock down the bed - the cover-cover prevents it.
