How to choose the right bedspread in your bedroom design

For the bedroom, the bed is the compositional center around which the furnishings of the room are built. Not a single designer or decorator will ignore the design of the bed: in addition to the bed, you need to choose suitable bedside tables, light, bed linen, and also beat the headboard and footboard.

The final, but no less important element for the sleeping area is the bedspread – without it, the bed will look «naked», and the whole composition is unfinished.

You can choose any bed linen: color, material, the presence of a pattern or its absence – all this does not matter, because most of the time the sheet and duvet cover are not visible. The bedspread, on the contrary, is constantly in sight, which means that it cannot be accidental, running counter to the stylistic direction and color scheme of the bedroom..

Style matters

So, to start searching for a suitable bedspread for your bedroom, when the interior is already formed and almost completed, you should evaluate the style of the room.

So, the fabric from which the coverlet was sewn must fully match and go well with the materials used in the arrangement of the room. For example, if the bedroom contains a large number of natural wood, forging, stone or tiles, it is better to cover the bed with wool, cotton, linen or silk..

If you cannot find a suitable bedspread in stores for a long time, we recommend contacting a fabric salon for sewing curtains. Here you will be provided with a wide selection of materials, prints and shades of fabrics, from which you can order a unique bedspread for every taste and budget. In addition, there is an opportunity to immediately order sewing of curtains and decorative pillows, with a bedspread in the same style..

In the case when the interior is saturated with modern advanced materials (laminate, ogre glass, MDF, polyresin and others), you can choose a bedspread made of mixed fabrics.

The interiors of the bedrooms in the loft, contemporary, Scandinavian style suggest simple, laconic bedspreads made of durable and natural fabrics, such as cotton (with polyester), satin, wool.

How to choose the color of the bedspread

The colors and shades of the bedspread should also be chosen according to the style of the room, since a bright patterned will not be appropriate in a classic bedroom, and in a minimalist room it will look strange, for example, a jacquard with a fluffy frill.

What size should a double bed cover be? The dimensions (length and width) of the bedspreads for the bed should exceed its dimensions by 1.3-1.5 times, that is, for a double bed (160x200cm) a bedspread of 210×250 cm is suitable. The bedspreads hanging along the edges of the bed should completely hide the mattress towering above the sides of the box.

If the bedspread does not represent a single set with curtains and decorative pillows (everything is made from the same fabric), it is better to choose an instance that is most suitable in color or shade.

Option 1

Blue curtains, white tulle, blue-green pillows, bedspread can contain any of the following colors, or be lighter (darker).

Option 2

The curtains and pillows are made of the same fabric, let’s say, cream, the carpet on the floor is gray-brown with a blueberry edging, then the bedspread can be either dark or cream with a rich pattern to match the edging

Option 3

The bedspread forms a single composition with the headboard or footboard. For example, the shade of the bedspread and the upholstered headboard is the same; the bench at the foot of the bed contains the same colors as the pattern of the bedspread.

Option 4

The color of the bedspread can be strikingly different from the basic shades used in the interior of the bedroom, but it must be combined with them absolutely harmoniously: white bedroom – blue (red, wheat, blue) bedspread; cream bedroom – a blanket of all shades of greens, berries.

Flawless patterns

Choosing a patterned bedspread or not depends on how abundantly other patterns are used in the interior, on its color scheme and, of course, on the style of the bedroom.

A room with laconic furniture, made in neutral shades, will acquire a stylish accent in the form of a bedspread with thick ornament, and a bedroom, in the interior of which a certain pattern is found in small quantities and unobtrusively (for example, a cage, polka dots or a strip), can be decorated with the same pattern, only larger (bright).

In general, an ornament, print or drawing is always an accent element that attracts attention to itself, therefore, you should objectively approach the issue of using it on the bedspread if the bedroom is already saturated with colors, textures and other patterns.

Warm welcome

The cold season has come: autumn, and with it, winter is the period when it is time to update the interior with characteristic elements and textures. In the bedroom, you can cover the bed with a velvety, knitted or woolen boucle blanket. If the room has a fireplace or its imitation, such an accessory will create a festive atmosphere, and you will feel warm, comfortable and cozy, as in childhood..

A bedspread with a stitch along the entire perimeter looks especially stylish and advantageous – it not only creates a feeling of warmth, but with its special (geometric or curly) rhythm of the stitching can complement the pattern used in other elements of the furnishings (carpet, headboard, furniture shape).
