The canvas itself consists of natural raw materials. The fabric is soft to the touch, drapes well, does not cause allergies and does not electrify.

Criterias of choice

When choosing a suitable bedspread model, not only its visual appeal and functionality are taken into account, but also the combination of the product with the room’s furnishings and other textile accessories.

Based on the type of fabric texture, smooth and textured bedspreads are distinguished. Smooth satin or silk fabrics have a reflective effect that hides minor surface imperfections. Shiny fabrics are ideal for spacious rooms. Textured products are fashionable and create an atmosphere of elegant casualness.

Knitted wool or fur products are used in the cold season, light openwork bedspreads are popular in the summer. Knitted and fur bedspreads require careful care; a lot of dust accumulates inside them, which can cause allergic reactions.

When choosing a product for your bedroom, it is recommended to follow one of the rules:

• The color of the bedspread in the bedroom is matched to the color of the curtains. This option is suitable for classic bedrooms, Baroque, Scandinavian styles. The interior turns out to be harmonious, but somewhat boring. To diversify it, choose the same type of textile for curtains, pillows and bedspread frills. The main part, which covers the sleeping area, is sewn from companion fabrics;
• The product is chosen to match the color of the bedroom walls. This rule is most relevant for small rooms, in which monochrome decor allows you to visually increase the space. The bedspread does not have to be the same color as the walls; it is enough to use a single color scheme. For example, in a beige bedroom, a milky, light brown, light golden bedspread would be appropriate. It is recommended to decorate rooms with windows facing north with warm colors. In a sunny room you can use cool tones;
• An unusual bedspread is selected, which acts as the main color accent of the interior. You can use a double-sided model, which has one side with a plain, calm color, the other - bright or with an unusual texture. Products with complex patterns are more suitable for spacious, bright rooms with plain walls.

The striped pattern is neutral and fits into almost any design. Some people prefer layering, when a colored strip of runner and several soft pillows are placed on top of a thin fabric with frills. This option should be carefully thought out; choose the optimal cut to avoid overloading the decor.

Bedspread as an interior detail

It is necessary to decorate the bed taking into account the interior of the room. Only the perfect combination will give the room an original appearance. Textile items affect the appearance of the room. They can create the appropriate atmosphere. The choice determines what the room will be like:

• bright;
• calm;
• luxurious;
• minimalist.

When choosing the color of the fabric, as well as its texture, you need to take into account the color of the curtains, the color of the walls, and the design of the bed. If it is decorated with original forged backs, a heavy bedspread will look unattractive. For calm pastel colors, leopard print textiles are suitable. It won't look very expensive, but it will make the bedroom much cozier. When buying a product, try to imagine it lying on the bed. It should become a real decoration.

Preparation method

Exclusive models of bedspreads are made by hand, such products have a high cost. The design is selected according to individual sketches, the fabrics and yarns are natural and mixed. The following methods can be used for production:

• Patchwork - a technique that allows you to create canvases sewn from multi-colored patches. Only new high-strength fabrics are suitable for use. Pieces of fabric are selected according to the pattern, forming an exclusive pattern. Such custom-made products are expensive. When using colorful bedspreads, the rest of the decor is made monochromatic so as not to overload the interior. Patchwork is popular in country, Provence, and shabby chic styles;
• Sewn bedspreads are most often used for bedroom decor. They can be made from fabrics of various types, colors, textures. Embroidered bedspreads are decorated with lace, ruffles, appliqués, and leather and fur inserts. You can choose the most suitable option for any interior;
• Knitted items can decorate a child's or adult's bedroom. For knitting, knitting needles or a hook are used. Using combined techniques, you can create unique products. They will be lightweight and retain heat well. You can knit from wool or acrylic threads to obtain a dense fabric. When choosing thin threads and openwork knitting, the bedspread will turn out to be delicate and airy;
• Felted bedspreads are often used as a single blanket. They are very warm and light. Creating such products requires a lot of time and felting skills. Multi-colored wool fibers are used to create intricate designs that imitate watercolor painting. The cost of finished products is high.

Sewn bedspreads are most in demand. Products are offered from various materials and in a wide range of prices, so they are available to all consumers.

In the manufacture of bedspreads, various fabrics are used, each with its own characteristics.

• Faux or natural fur. Fur bedspreads for a bedroom bed look very unusual; photos of new products can be seen in the catalogs of well-known manufacturers. Caring for the products is problematic - they can only be dry cleaned;
• Woolen fabrics and yarns are characterized by good hygroscopicity. Wool products are easy to wash and comfortable to use at any temperature;
• Natural and artificial silk have a beautiful shine. The materials are pleasant to the touch and comfortable on the skin in hot weather. Moderate shine creates an atmosphere of luxury;
• Jacquard is most popular in monochromatic interiors. A jacquard product gives the room visual depth and volume. The composition of the fabric is mixed, viscose fibers are combined with natural cotton. The fabrics have a high density, but allow air to pass through well. Thanks to the unusual weaving of threads, a jacquard bedspread lasts a long time, holds its shape well, and does not fade;
• Bamboo fabrics are low cost, easy to care for and highly durable. Bamboo fibers are soft and delicate and have an antibacterial effect. The canvas allows air and moisture to pass through well and weighs little. Such products can be used instead of blankets in the summer.

The color purple has a unique character. The option looks elegant and rich. The interior immediately takes on a certain grandeur.

Complex purple can be replaced with lighter lilac. The option is surprisingly good in the bedroom. The shade captivates with tenderness.

Size

Before choosing a bedspread, you need to measure the dimensions of the mattress and bed base. Traditionally, the bedspread was chosen to be about 60-70 cm larger than the width of the mattress. When unfolded, it covered the legs almost entirely. Modern interior design suggests using thin bedspreads that cover only the mattress and are tucked under it. The canvas should have a width of 40-50 cm greater than the width of the mattress. The standard size of a bedspread for a double bed is 240x280 cm; with a mattress width of 160 cm, there will be an allowance of 40 cm on each side.

For double beds, thick, heavy bedspreads are preferable; single beds are covered with small, light bedspreads.

The table shows the most popular bedspread sizes.

Owners of beds of non-standard sizes often find it difficult to choose a suitable option. This applies to round and corner beds, models with large complex podiums. In this case, the bedspread is sewn to order from the most suitable material.

Finishing and decor

There are many options for finishing bedspreads. The most popular is to add decorative pillows to the bedspread and add ruffles along the edges of the mattress. Such sets are suitable for classic, Provence, and Rococo interiors. Beautiful ruffles are made from soft flowing materials: silk, velvet, satin. Moderate shine will highlight the beauty of the set. Small pillows can be made from the same fabric or from a companion fabric that matches the curtains. For romantic interiors, bedspreads made of light fabrics, decorated with lace inserts, frills of satin ribbons, and bows are optimal.

If the interior uses finishing materials without patterns, then on the bed you can put a bedspread made using the patchwork technique, decorated with appliqué, painting or a bright product made of tapestry fabric. A minimalist bedroom is decorated with a canvas that is black, dark gray or steel in color. The preferred fabrics are satin, thick silk, faux fur or a combination of cotton and leather. Such products are decorated with metal rivets, graphic stitching or stitching.

Eh, village!

Provencal style is one of the favorites of modern designers. And here the “Provence” bedspread creates unrivaled rustic coziness in a modern bedroom. The patterns on the cape and curtains must be combined.

Floral and plant motifs look very beautiful. You should choose natural fabric as the material for the product. Capes made of matting, silk, linen, and satin are suitable for the Provence style.

Fashionable prints for different styles

Different bedroom designs require appropriate textile accessories:

• For classic bedrooms, sets of bedspreads and curtains in plain colors are relevant. Most often, beige-brown products are chosen, which are suitable for any wall color and create a cozy atmosphere;
• The Rococo interior allows the use of luxurious satin or silk bedspreads with canopies. The production uses plain fabrics with glitter, decorated with floral patterns or with large patterns on the theme of mythology;
• The bed in an Art Deco or Baroque bedroom is decorated with a tapestry, velvet or satin bedspread. The products are generously decorated with lace, fringe, and decorative lacing. The color of the canvases can be rich blue, burgundy, gold, brown, plain or with a small pattern in the form of monograms and floral motifs;
• For minimalist interiors, the most suitable are textured products with simple graphic prints and color combinations;
• A Provence or shabby chic bedroom is decorated in light colors. The most suitable bedspread would be a canvas with floral patterns, made in cream, light pink tones;
• In ethnic and country interiors, bright patchwork fabrics are used. A bedspread imitating animal skin can become the main accent of the decor. A modern product can use a combination of natural and artificial fur, leather, and textiles.

A universal bedspread is considered to be a product of white or beige color, made of smooth or low-texture cotton fabric. It fits into any interior, easily combined with colored pillows, curtains, and other bright accessories.

A properly selected bedspread helps to decorate the bed in the bedroom and also protect the bed linen from dirt. Its size must exceed the dimensions of the mattress. The presence of products made from natural and artificial materials, made in different styles, allows you to choose the best option for each interior.
