Choosing a baby blanket for a girl's bed

Probably, no one has any questions about what the veil is for. Usually no bed is complete without it. Firstly, it protects the sleeping place and bedding from contamination, and secondly, it decorates not only the bed, but the entire room. Especially if it's a girl's room.

Girls are gentle, romantic natures who really like to decorate everything around. How to choose a bedspread for a girl's bed, what to look for?

In the interior of a modern bedroom, the bedspread is one of the main accessories. It must surely fit organically into the overall style of the room. In addition, it must be durable, not wrinkle and retain its attractiveness for a long time.

For a child's room, the following requirements can be added to these criteria:

• the baby product must be made of environmentally friendly materials and not cause allergies in the child;
• it must withstand multiple washes;
• the appearance of the product must correspond to the age of the child.

All girls love very pretty things. If your daughter is still young, then you will choose the color of the bedspread for her crib. If she is older, then you probably already know what color the child prefers, whether he likes bedspreads with pictures or not. Of course, most often for the rooms of little princesses, parents choose pink, golden or light lilac tones. Younger girls really like heroes of fairy tales or cartoons. For a teenage girl's bed, bright shades are more suitable: yellow, hot pink, fuchsia or cyclamen. The bedspreads for their beds do not have to be patterned, plain options are also suitable. Products with a floral print, embroidery, appliques or capes, combined from fabrics of different shades of the same color, look very beautiful.

When choosing a fabric for a baby blanket consider the following nuances:

• the product must be soft;
• for a child, you need to choose only natural materials or fabrics made from mixed fibers, which make it easy to care for them and wash them often;
• cotton fabrics are ideal for children, but they are not suitable for every interior;
• refuse models made of faux fur and polyester: they are electrified and collect dust;
• if the child is still small, you cannot use products with decor made of sequins, rhinestones and beads: the baby may accidentally swallow them.

The dimensions of the product depend on the dimensions of the child's bed. For a small crib, bedspread parameters should be within 80x120 cm.

For a large double bed, you can choose a bedspread, the ends of which will hang around the edges. It looks very pretty. But not everyone chooses this option, as the overhanging edges collect dust and can get dirty. Such models are more suitable for older girls' rooms, who are more careful in handling things. For single beds, there are many standard size bedspreads available in stores.

The most unique and favorite things are those that are made by hand. Handicrafts are a little more expensive, but they will decorate your daughter's bedroom just as well as the factory options.

The most popular techniques for making blankets are crocheting and knitting. Crocheted bed products usually consist of small variegated floral or openwork motifs joined together. Knitting needles usually knit a whole fabric or it is made up of openwork stripes. A cover made of braids of different widths will look especially beautiful.

From thin yarn, options are offered for light and openwork fabrics, and from thick yarn - heavy, fluffy products. Warm options are best chosen from a mixture of acrylic and wool. Knitted bedspreads are best suited for decorating a nursery in a Scandinavian style.

Quilts are very practical. The upper side of such a bedspread is assembled from multi-colored pieces of fabric, the lower part is made of a single-color one. Such bedspreads are very light, as they are quilted on padding polyester, do not require washing, are practical and beautiful. They will become a bright accent of Provence style interior.

Patchwork bedspreads can have large themed prints: flowers, cartoon characters, princesses, animals, etc. In addition to this blanket, choose fabric pillows of the same color or handmade toys if your daughter is still young.

Choose a bedspread that matches the style of the girl's room. Do not forget that products for children must be not only beautiful, but also safe, durable, easy to care for. And be sure to take into account the opinion of the child when choosing any model of bedspread.
