Bedspreads in the bedroom interior

Modern bedding is truly luxurious, so not many people want to hide it under a bedspread. I especially don’t want to do this if the color of the bed is perfectly matched to the interior and the unmade bed does not enter into disharmony with the overall decor. So, bed covers have become a throwback? Nothing like this. You just do not know what benefits they bring to the interior with the right selection. Let's start with the aesthetic side. A made bed always looks neat. The presence of a bedspread eliminates the need to carefully select the bed for the decor of the bedroom.

It is sometimes difficult to find a ready-made bedspread of the perfect color and style, so such things are often sewn to order. This allows you to make a choice of both fabrics and colors with cuts.

Bedspread dimensions

When you go shopping for a bedspread, there are a couple of things you need to know:

1. Bedspreads should lie down on the bed so that neither bed linen, nor the ends of the mattress, nor the frame of the bed structure peek out from under them.
2. In order for the bedspread to completely drape the bed, its size must correspond to the sum of the two heights of the bed, its length and width. Do not forget to take into account the thickness of the blanket.

Bedspread design

Choosing a bedspread is a great chance to show off your individuality by upgrading your bedroom interior. This is where your imagination will get full play. You can decorate the bed:

1. Cords.
2. Tassels.
3. Fringed.
4. Contrasting fabric.

The situation in the room from this will only sparkle with new colors.

Use a bedspread to bring harmony to the bedroom:

• In a romantic style, bedspreads with an elegant valance, ruffles and frills will be appropriate.
• To make your bedroom more luxurious, look to shaggy fabrics, satin, or faux fur.
• You need to emphasize the rustic style - take quilted models.
• It is easy to choose options for bedrooms in a modern design. Samples of such bedspreads on the bed can be searched among photos of glamorous magazines.. You will be surprised how incompatible styles and colors fit together.

When thinking about how your bedspread should be, remember to harmonize the design of this item with the overall decor of the room. It must necessarily fit into the situation.

Bedspreads in Provence

Before you start choosing a bedspread for the bedroom in this magnificent style, you need to get acquainted with its distinctive features. Provence is a romantic interior. Delicate tones of lavender, turquoise, light pastel prevail here. It is also characterized by the presence of floral prints, the carrier of which can be not only wallpaper, but also a bedspread. It, along with pillows and curtains, will give the bedroom a finished look.

The main color of the bedspread on the bed should match the background of the walls, although it can be combined not only with them, but also with the existing furniture.For example, with the upholstery of an armchair or a chair standing in the bedroom.

Bedspreads in a classic bedroom

Classicism loves elements of luxury, so the bedspread should have bows, ruffles, monograms or gilding. In such a bedroom, the place is for a quilted bedspread with rich ruffles. A sign of the excellent taste of the owners will be a coverlet, restrained in cut, but painted with monograms. A natural silk option, complemented by gilding and lush tassels, will also be good.

Bedspreads in the country bedroom

The country should not have shiny decor details, so the bedspread chosen for such a bedroom should have a soft texture and a matte surface. It is good if handmade style elements are present in the design of the bedspread. The easiest way to fit into a country bedroom is a cotton bedspread, sewn in the spirit of patchwork. A patchwork bedspread is suitable, its brightness will emphasize the country style sustained in the interior. A beautiful decorative accent will be, as if coming out from under the hook of a needlewoman, a bedspread.

Bedspread in the high-tech bedroom

Hi-tech is ascetic in itself. Everything here is too concise, clear, practical, restrained. The made bed is designed to somewhat dilute this “correct” impression. It should give the impression that its owner just slipped out from under a cozy blanket for a minute, so the bedspread on the bed turned out to be just carelessly thrown over it. Take a closer look at terry bedspreads with unencumbered decor or in Japanese. The latter are also minimalistic in additional elements. In general, a distinctive feature of such products, which fit perfectly into the high-tech interior, is the geometric clarity of the lines of their design.

Design bedspreads in other styles

1. Luxurious, multi-layered bedspread, made of silk, with fringe trim, as if created for the decor of the bedroom in the English style, in which heaps of fabrics and pillows that do not stand out from the stylistic concept of the interior are welcome.
2. 3D bedspreads have become popular, but they should be used with caution in modern bedrooms. Since they themselves become a bright accent of the decor, the interior of the room should not be loaded with other accessories.

We select the color of the bedspread on the bed

“The bedspreads that are not tied to the overall design will be perceived harmoniously only when the main background of the bedroom is neutral or made in pastel colors”

In a bedspread, of course, both the cut and the material are important, but the main indicator for using it in a particular interior is its coloring. Especially if this element is supposed to fit into a ready-made, and not just a situation that is being created. In this case, the product is selected in color:

1. furniture.
2. Stan.
3. Interior accessories.
   

   nautical print bedspread

In the first case, the bedspreads are selected to match not only upholstered furniture, but also wood.

In the second case, things are a little more complicated. The coverlet seems to repeat the color of the walls, but a complete “merger” should not occur. Diversity has never hurt. On the contrary, it makes the decor textured and interesting. For blue wallpaper with a pattern, you need to purchase a bedspread in the same color spectrum, but with some excellent ornament or no patterns at all. If the wall is monophonic, then the pattern on the bedspread must be mandatory. They will help to understand the question of how to choose bedspreads for the bed in this case, photos on design sites. You will see that variety can be made not only with painted fabrics, but also by decorating the bedspread with appliqué, embroidery or decorative piping.

In the third case, you will choose a bedspread to match the color prevailing in the interior. You can play with shades, but only within the leading color palette. If the bedroom is decorated mainly in white and brown tones, then the bedspread can be white, beige or brown. In a blue-green interior, the bedspread can naturally have green or blue colors, as well as variations in blue, turquoise, mint and other spectral solutions. The bedspread can have, so to speak, a medium shade, loyal to the dominant colors in the environment.

Be that as it may, you should remember one rule that can be followed in difficult situations: when choosing the color of the bedspread, be guided by the size of the room. In small bedrooms, warm shades from the beige-pink range will be needed.

If you decide to make the bed the center of the interior, then choose eye-catching products. In this case, the curtains should make up the company for the bedspreads on the bed. Do not get carried away with shiny fabrics in cold colors, they will deprive the room of the comfort it needs.

The combination of bedspreads and curtains will be needed in bedrooms recreated in strict classical canons. If the situation in the room is less demanding, then you can limit yourself to the harmony of patterns on the bedspread and curtains. Do you want to see a plain bedspread on the bed? You are welcome! Harmony in the interior will bring a path that matches the color scheme of the curtains. It is placed on top of the veil.

The interior is extremely beautiful, where the bedspreads are in harmony with the wallpaper. Here, too, either a partial combination of shades is required, or their complete coincidence. If the wallpaper has a color pattern, choose a bedspread according to its color spectrum, and not the general background.

The right decision would be to match the color of the bedspread to match the furniture, especially if the bed is one of the elements of the suite, and it has a high headboard. Do you have dark furniture and are you afraid that the interior will turn out gloomy? Look on the Internet, there the bedspreads on the bed are presented in beautiful multi-angle photos. You will surely find a design variation for your case.

Choosing a bedspread according to the main colors of the interior is a less difficult task, since you have enough room for imagination. Most often they stop at products that are in harmony with the leading interior colors. For example, if you are the owner of a chocolate bedroom, then look for a beige, cream or milky bedspread.

Modern decors are unpredictable. Very often, the bedspreads in them do not just not match the tone, but, on the contrary, look flashy, instantly attracting the eye with their brightness. Bedspreads that are not tied to the overall design will be perceived harmoniously only when the main background of the bedroom is neutral or made in pastel colors. What does it look like in practice? In an interior with a beige and sand tone, the bed can be covered with an orange bedspread. If you are disgusted by such a solution and it seems not at all elegant, try to associate the colors of the bedspread with the colors of the accessories in the bedroom. Tie it to the lampshade of a floor lamp or sconce, a bedside rug, a napkin covering a chest of drawers.

Bedspread and curtains - a set?

Whether to be curtains and bedspreads as a set is another question. Looking at examples of bedroom decor, you understand that the coincidence of their colors in many cases is not at all necessary. But the textures of these design elements are almost always mutually compatible. Agree, if there are thick curtains on the windows of the bedroom, decorating the bed with an openwork or satin bedspread will be simply nonsense. It will be much more pleasant to be in a room where the window area is decorated with a set of velor or tapestry curtains and the bed is covered with a bedspread of the same material texture.

In any case, when choosing bedspreads for the bed, you still cannot ignore the color of the curtains, because in the setting of a room of such functionality, harmony is above all, which means that bedspreads and curtains should not be in color and style confrontation.

Looking for a compromise

In a two-tone interior, the bedspread can "take the side" of one of the leading colors, and the curtains - the other. For example, we see the decor in a beige-lilac solution, therefore, the bedspread can be made brighter, that is, lilac, but it is better for the curtains to remain beige.

You can go a step further and simply repeat the color of the curtains in the design of the bedspread fabric. Photos from the Internet will help you find a hint on how to successfully combine bedspreads on a bed with curtains. Suppose the bedroom has a blue background, white furniture, yellow curtains. What should be the veil in this case? For example, white, with a print of blue and yellow flowers or yellow stripes. In this case, it turns out that the background is matched to the color of the furniture, and the pattern is matched to the curtains or curtains and walls. The bedspread, in this situation, turned out to be a link in the color palette of the decor of the entire room and made the picture of the interior complete.

Here is a completely opposite version. You already have curtains with a certain pattern, and this allows you to purchase a bedspread in the same tone as the latter.

You can take both the curtains and the bedspread in the same color, choose only one accessory with a pattern, and leave the second in plain color.

Of course, photos from the Internet will help to choose bedspreads for the bed, but what about the situation when you need to somehow link multi-colored curtains and a bedspread into a single whole? Here you will have to call on decorative elements as allies. green blanket and pink curtains combine pink pillows on the bed or the same color path laid out on the bedspread.

Nobody forbids doing the opposite, that is, adding the color of the bedspread to the solution of curtains. Look, you already have white curtains and a red bedspread. So why look for something and change? Just add red tiebacks to the curtains or order a red pelmet for them. So you harmonize the space in one move.

There are solutions that are recognized as universal. They are used in situations where it is very difficult to arrange the colors of textiles. The following solution will help to get out of the situation beautifully: leave one thing in color, and make the other one a neutral solid color, say, beige, white or cream.

The accent bedspread on the bed also belongs to the universal moves.. The product must certainly have magnetism. This effect will help to achieve either the brightness of the color or the colorfulness of the picture on a neutral background. A striking example would be a red satin bedspread in a calm cream bedroom or an abstract zebra-striped bedspread in a blue interior. The accent cover is good in that it can not be associated with the rest of the situation at all. Such a catchy solution is a godsend for neutral or light interiors.

About material

“The achievement of the light industry, which has found its implementation in bedspreads, has become microfiber”

Since we are talking about a bedspread, the quality of the material naturally comes first. It should be sewn from fabrics that do not cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.

In the summer, it is better to pick up a light fabric on the bedspread:

1. Satin.
2. Silk.
3. Cotton.
4. Jacquard.
   

   silk bedspreads are a great solution for a classic bedroom interior

In winter, it is preferable to cover the bed with thicker bedspreads:

• cashmere,
• wool,
• cotton,
• fur.

Another achievement of the light industry, which has found its implementation in bedspreads, is microfiber. It is easy to remove dirt from such bedspreads, it is pleasant to touch them, and besides, microfiber “breathes”.

In addition to the material, its colors and design, when buying a bedspread, you need to know some more features of this product. Did you know that the quilted option is chosen in cases where it will need to be thrown over the blanket. Such models of bedspreads are not deformed and are very warm. Under them, you can easily warm up.

What if you really like the bedspread, but it doesn’t fit into the interior of the bedroom either in color or in design? Buy some similar fabric and upgrade the floor lamp shade for example. You can try to combine the space with pillows identical in color spectrum. Need help in effectively harmonizing the bedspreads on the bed with the general decor - look at the photo on the Internet.

If you have already chosen the right model, take the trouble to study the label on it. Ask what this thing is made of and if there are any harmful dyes in the composition of the fabric.

The price includes bedspreads made of natural fabrics. Especially priority in this field of fur. They are durable and very practical. Naturally, faux fur bedspreads will be more affordable.

If you're looking for a timeless and colorful throw, look no further than viscose. It will have only one drawback - it will sit down when washed. If you know about this in advance and take it into account when choosing the size of the bedspread, then there will be no problems.

Silk bedspreads will make a rich and prestigious bedroom. However, such fabrics require scrupulous care. Silk quickly wrinkles, loses its brilliance of color if the sun hits it. Washing them is also problematic. Since the fabric is delicate, you will have to do it manually, unless, of course, you have a machine with the function of working with products from such materials. In general, if you want to definitely see silk bedspreads, then look for models that contain synthetic additives.

If the fabric contains threads made of acrylic or polyamide, then the cover will be reliable, practical and will cost democratically. The only thing that spoils their design is the formation of "pellets".

Consumers really like fleece bedspreads. They are good both in operation, and in cost, and in care, however, they are difficult to arrange with curtains.

There are bedspreads from combined fabrics:

- Cotton-linen fabric is incredibly durable, but it is incredibly wrinkled and almost never ironed;

- cotton-polyester materials have persistent colors and high strength, but are uncomfortable to use;

- silk-linen options are shiny and soft when purchased, after washing they become hard.

And a few more tips

• A properly selected bedspread should cover the legs of the bed, so its width should be at least half a meter more than the width of the mattress.
• For non-standard beds, it is better to sew bedspreads to order.
• A bedspread for a child's bed should be exclusively natural and preferably not easily soiled. It is also important that it is hypoallergenic.
• Lovers of variety will be interested in double-sided models that can be covered with any side: both front and back.
