Today we will talk about the types of bedspreads for the bedroom. How to choose design, color and style. We’ll also look at the photos of the interior.
The blanket prevents dust from accumulating on the bed linen. You can lie down on it without changing clothes. In addition, when you are not at home, it protects the bed from pets who like to sleep on the master's bed.
In addition, it is the bedspread that creates the main mood in the bedroom. Because the bed is the central element of the interior.
How to choose a bedspread?
A few recommendations:
- When choosing, they most often focus on the shade of the furniture set, the color of curtains, wall, floor and ceiling coverings in the bedroom.
- If the bedspread has patterns, then they should echo similar patterns present on various decorative items, for example, pillows, curtains or rugs.
- It is better to decorate large beds in spacious bedrooms with blankets with larger images.
- When choosing a bedspread, you should take into account the placement of the bed, as well as the presence of a back and foot.
Grey, beige
Both colors are basic halftones of black and white. The shades are neutral. The options look elegant and practical.
Gray and beige are easy to fit into any interior. They will easily maintain a calm atmosphere and pacify excessive design activity.
Features by type of bed
Main nuances:
- Double. One wide canvas is perfect here, which will completely cover the bed and practically hang down to the floor, hiding the foot.
- Single. It is better to cover a single narrow bed with a product that does not have unnecessary decor and is made of light fabrics.
- One-and-a-half-sleeping room. Since the width of the one-and-a-half-length bed varies from 90 to 140 cm, when choosing, you always take accurate measurements.
- Two-tier. To decorate such structures, bedspreads in a single design are generally chosen.
- Bed with two headboards. Products with elastic will be an excellent option for this corner bed, as they are especially easy to tuck in if there are headboards.
- On a round bed. Since each round model has a different height, the covering for it is most often sewn to order.
The beautiful, neat and well-groomed appearance of the sleeping area completely depends on the correctly selected size of the bedspread.
Calculating fabric consumption
An important preparatory stage for sewing a bedspread is calculating the amount of fabric. To avoid getting into trouble, you need to measure the length, width and height of the bed.
The width of the bedspread will be equal to: the width of the bed + 2 cm of its height + 5-10 cm seam allowances, and the length will be equal to: the length of the bed + one of its heights + 5-10 cm seam allowances. Based on this, the total material consumption is determined.
For products with frills, it is necessary to add to the result the amount of fabric corresponding to the width and length of the frills. Moreover, the length of each strip must first be multiplied by 1.5.
What material is used for bedspreads?
The choice of material determines not only the appearance of the product, but also its service life and method of maintenance.
- Cotton.
- Tapestry.
- Velvet.
- Fur (natural or artificial fur).
- Silk.
- Jacquard.
- Plush.

Without such an attribute, the room will lose on all counts: neither architectural and artistic techniques, nor design, nor stylish, high-quality furniture will save it. The bed cover is an essential finishing touch, without which the overall composition loses all its charm.
