The nuances of choosing bedspreads for a double bed, a combination with the interior

When the repair comes to an end, the apartment owners begin a new stage - the arrangement. The main feature of this process is the correct selection of accents in order to emphasize the details of the design. The bedspread for the double bed becomes an element of decor in the bedroom - choosing it in the right color, from quality materials, you can enjoy the harmonious interior of the room. It is desirable to select a product for the general style of the room.

Features and purpose

A soft, comfortable bedspread is used to decorate a bed. It also performs a protective function: throughout the day, even after a thorough cleaning, small particles of dust fly around the room, which settle on all surfaces, including the sleeping place. The plaid keeps bedding clean.

Stylish bedspread should match the interior of the bedroom. For example, if light colors are chosen for wall and floor decoration, the product can be made in the same palette or be contrasted. The combination looks successful when the plaid is combined in color with individual interior details, for example, curtains or picture frames. The rooms look interesting in which the furniture and the bedspread are selected in the same shade, for example, light, white, and the wall decoration is sharply contrasted, brown, dark blue or green.

Beautiful bedspreads on double beds vary in texture of the material. They can be smooth, embossed, jacquard, knitted, fur.

The following requirements are imposed on the quality of wraps:

  1. The fabric must be processed on all sides with an overlock. The overcast seam will not allow the product to fray.
  2. The material of manufacture must be durable. Natural fabrics are appreciated. For example, linen and wool will last longer than polyester.
  3. The ability to wash the product in an automatic machine makes it easy to clean many times.
  4. It is important that after cleansing, the plaid retains its original appearance and properties. The cover should not change color after washing or under the influence of the sun.

Synthetic fabrics are not always safe, environmentally friendly. While natural materials do not have a harmful effect on humans.

Few people know that when choosing a plaid, pay attention to the location of the bedroom. If the windows face north - it is advisable to add a little brightness. For example, lay an orange or yellow coverlet. It is better to refuse cold tones. The room on the south side can be experimented with. For example, choose a product in bright colors, green or blue.

How to choose the size

The cover is not only designed to protect the bed from dust and other environmental influences, but also complement the interior of the room. In fashion, layering is a good move to add volume to the bed. If the berth does not differ in large dimensions, you can use several different size and material of making wraps at once.

The standard size of a blanket for a double bed is 160 x 200 cm. The bedspread for a bed with two backs should be shorter than a standard product, otherwise it will protrude beyond the backs. If the design has only one back, you can choose textiles so that its edges hang at the foot. Shape is also important: a round product will not fit in a rectangular bed, and vice versa.

If it is not possible to purchase a blanket of a certain shape, you can sew it yourself: the cut of the bedspreads on a double bed is made according to the size of a berth. First, a drawing is made with allowances, then the fabric is sewn, edges are processed, decor elements are made.

To measure the dimensions of the future bedspreads, you must do the following:

  1. If the bed has a back in the legs, then the textile hangs from two sides. Then you need to measure the width, length of the furniture and the height of the overhang of the cloak on the sides.
  2. If there is no back, then the length and width of the plaid will be equal to the length and width of the bed and the height of the dangling of the plaid.

In addition to standard-sized bedspreads, in stores you can find products with dimensions of 240 x 260 cm, 180 x 270 cm, 220 x 240 cm, 270 x 270 cm. There are also models 200 x 160 cm suitable for European standards and 200 x 150 cm for domestic one and a half. If the bed has non-standard dimensions, then it is better to sew a blanket with your own hands or contact an atelier.

Coloring and decor

All existing bedspreads can be divided into several groups according to their decor.One of the tricks of designers is to repeat the decoration of the decoration of the room in the wrap palette. For example, if there is an image of flowers on the walls, you can buy a blanket with the same print. Depending on the material of manufacture and the addition of various elements of the product are divided into types:

  1. Image on the surface of the fabric. It can be printed - then the master uses additional threads of a contrasting color to create a texture on the plane. Quilted products can also be with a pattern - they are much stronger, because when they are sewn, division of fabric into sectors is used. Cape looks prettier, where each sector has its own color.
  2. Photo printing. In special salons, you can apply any photo to the fabric, providing the master with an image of the desired format and quality.
  3. Volumetric decor. As decoration use ruffles, shuttlecocks, brushes. Elements are sewn onto the edges of the bedspread so that they fall beautifully from the bed.
  4. The double-sided bedspread has two different sides, one of which can be made of wool and the other of cotton. Such a product carries a practical function - it is suitable for winter and summer. The finish and tone of the side of the cloak may also vary.

To choose the right color for textiles in the interior, you should pay attention to the colors of the curtains and furniture. If there is a large pattern on the curtains, then do not repeat it on the bedspread: then it is better to choose textiles with a fine pattern. The palette of basic furniture in the bedroom also affects the choice of shade of the product: the bedspread for a double bed can be matched to the tone of chairs and nightstands or contrasted with them.

Combination with interior design

The design of the bedspreads for a double bed can be selected in accordance with the furniture in the room: ottomans, sofa, wardrobe or dressing table. It is important that both the cloak and the decor are part of the same composition. The most attractive blanket looks matched to the tone of objects that are least in the bedroom: lampshade, pillows, decor.

Designers select products according to various stylistic directions:

  1. Classic style - the emphasis is on the coloring of the bedspread and its pattern. Classic involves the use of light pastel colors, satin and silk. Brushes and shuttlecocks are used as decor.
  2. Baroque - is associated with palace interiors, so such blankets are made from patterned textured fabric. Printed drawings, materials that are glossy and silky are appropriate.
  3. Art Deco - products made from satin or other soft and pleasant to the touch material are suitable. Brown, beige and gray colors prevail.
  4. Minimalism - minimalist style textiles are made from plush, fleece or a combination of fabrics. Stylish rugs and bedspreads on a bed with two headboards neatly, strictly hang on the sides, a geometric pattern may be present on the surface.
  5. Country - quilted bedspreads are popular, in which a rustic motif, images of flowers, a small pattern, a combination of bright and pastel colors predominate.
  6. Provence is a romantic style for which a pink bedspread on a bed with lace frills from organza is suitable. It realistically emphasizes the entire provinciality of the interior.
  7. Shabby-chic - the English design implies the use of light-colored wraps with the image of flowers, small dot patterns, lace ribbons, ruffles.

You should not buy a blanket for the main color of the room, there is a risk that the whole composition will merge. For example, a yellow bedspread will not be combined with lemon walls, since these are the tones of one group. In this case, it is better to purchase a blue or white product.

The bedspread should not stand out from the general style. If the decoration and furniture are made of natural materials, then the textiles should be cotton, linen, silk or wool.The contrasting models look great: they attract the eye, emphasize the appearance of the berth, make it the center of the room.
