How to choose a bedspread?

Some recommendations:

  • When choosing, most often they are guided by the shade of the furniture set, the color of the curtains, wall, floor and ceiling coverings in the bedroom.
  • If the bedspread has patterns, they should echo similar patterns present on various decorative items, such as pillows, curtains or rugs.
  • Blankets with larger images are better for decorating large beds in spacious bedrooms.
  • When choosing a bedspread, you should consider the placement of the sleeping area, as well as the presence of a headboard and footboard.

Features by type of bed

Main nuances:

  • Double. One wide canvas that will completely cover the bed and practically hang down to the floor, hiding the footboard, is perfect here.
  • Single. It is better to cover a single narrow bed with a product that does not have unnecessary decor and is made of lightweight fabrics.
  • One and a half. Since the width of a one and a half bed varies from 90 to 140 cm, precise measurements are always taken when choosing.
  • Bunk. To decorate such structures, bedspreads in a single design are mainly chosen.
  • A bed with two backs. Products with an elastic band will be an excellent option for this corner bed, since they are especially easy to tuck in if there are backs.
  • For a round bed. Since each round model has a different height, the cover for it is most often sewn to order.

The beautiful, neat and well-groomed appearance of the sleeping place completely depends on the correctly selected size of the bedspread.
