Quilted bedspreads

Very often, various stylish blankets or bedspreads are used to decorate the bed and protect bed linen from dust. Quilted fabrics are especially popular this season. Let us consider in more detail what caused such popularity, what is the manufacturing feature and what functions such products have.

Quilted bedspreads are two canvases stitched through each other, between which there is a thin insulating layer. These bedspreads are very thick and warm, so they are perfect for covering and hiding from the cold. Few people know that the process of making quilts has a special name - quilting.

The bedspread serves to cover any surface, bed, sofa, couch - any furniture attribute intended for sleep and relaxation. The quilted bedspread will be not only a functional product, but also a stylish decorative addition to the interior.

Like any other product, a quilted bedspread has a number of advantages:

• Attractive appearance. The stitching makes the surface more neat and elegant, so even a completely ordinary bedspread with a smooth surface can be made beautiful and stylish with a stitch.
• Filler fixation. It often happens that the filler of a blanket or bedspread can become clumped, which leads to deterioration and unusability of products. The stitching prevents this by holding the inner content securely in place.
• Practical and compact. A piece with a stitch is much easier to fold and when folded takes up less space than a piece with a smooth surface.

There are several types of quilted bedspreads, the surface of which depends on the type of stitch. Let us consider in more detail which types are the most popular, how they differ and what characteristic features certain types have:

• Look nice ruffled quilted bedspreads. Usually, such products have a rather elegant, delicate appearance, but they have some drawbacks. For example, the bedspread must strictly correspond to the dimensions of the surface on which it will be located, because, otherwise, the frill will hang down ugly and shapelessly.

• Are popular reversible quilted bedspreads, the sides of which are made of fabrics of various shades with different prints. Thanks to this feature, you can quite easily change the decor of the bed, without changing the bedspread with a new one.

• Look pretty unusual 3D models, the surface of which is decorated with stunningly realistic prints. This can be an animal, cityscapes, simple animal prints, or classic florals.

• In addition, the products differ in the type of stitching. The classic version is a square-stitched surface. Decorative stitches can also be made in the form of semicircles, ovals, small flowers, triangles and other geometric shapes.

Products with a stitch may differ in the style in which they are made:

• The most striking style, which is characterized by the manufacture of quilted bedspreads, is patchwork, which is a patchwork stitching of parts. Patchwork quilting is a bedspread made of many individual pieces, which may not only have different patterns, but are also cut from a variety of materials. The surface of the bedspread turns out to be unusual and heterogeneous, but it looks very interesting.

• Products look very nice in oriental style. Bright, colorful shades, complemented by the most incredible prints depicting the so-called oriental cucumber, which is popularly called "buta", as well as various graceful patterns, will help to decorate the interior of any bedroom.
• They look pretty attractive classic products.
• Models in french style help to focus on the elegance of details, and prints depicting large flowers and rowan bushes refer to the origins of the Russian style.

For a beautiful and neat appearance of the bed, you should choose a product of the appropriate size. For example, a standard double bedspread is suitable for 160x220 and 150x200 cm beds. The Euro size of the bedspread is 200x220 cm. It is quite suitable for double beds of the corresponding size. And for too large surfaces there is a Euro-max size - 230x250 cm.

For the manufacture of this type of bedspreads, various fabrics are used, the texture of which is directly reflected in the appearance of the finished product:

• For example, silk models very pleasant to the touch, they look incredibly beautiful. The lightness of the fabric draws attention to itself, creating a visual sense of sophistication and elegance.

• Shiny surface satin products looks pretty good, but in some shades it may not look entirely appropriate, because when combined with certain interior details, it looks vulgar.

• Fur blanket Is a real decorative element. But in order for the stitching effect to be clearly visible, the surface of the fur must have very little pile.

• Quite an interesting form is linen productwhich is also very practical. Linen has many good qualities: it is well ventilated, stain resistant, easy to clean and washable, and is quite durable.

• Look unusual denim, a satin models incredibly beautiful. In addition, materials such as jacquard and dense percale are used to make bedspreads.

Pattern and color have a significant impact on the appearance of products, as well as on its stylistic features:

• For example, a monochromatic product in light or dark tones from a classic color scheme may well fit into the framework of minimalism. But the product of soft cream or juicy burgundy shades, with an unobtrusive openwork print - is quite suitable for the description of the classic style.
• A white product will look beautiful in any room, the main thing is to take care of the appropriate addition - choose unusual bright pillows or soft toys that will help slightly decorate the snow-white surface.
• The blue bedspread, depending on the shade, will have a certain look and character. For example, a product in a bright cornflower blue shade will look very fresh and will revive even the most boring interior, as opposed to a dark, more restrained shade.
• The brown model will look attractive in any fabric performance. The chocolate shade looks especially stylish, which is visually more pleasant.
• A patchwork product, consisting of turquoise, green and blue squares, each of which is decorated with small flowers, has a very stylish look.

When choosing quilted products, you should also pay attention to the country of origin, since not every one of them is famous for the good quality of products and compliance with all the necessary standards for manufacturing.

For example, Turkey makes pretty good products, but often saves on such trifles as the threads used to make the stitches, so the products often creep up and need to be repaired. It guarantees the quality of its goods Russia, but the goods of Russian manufacturers also have a drawback - the overpriced, which not every person can afford.

Choosing the right bedspread can be tricky at times. To facilitate the task, we have compiled a few simple tips, following which you can make the right choice:

1. The product must correspond to the age of the person whose bed it will decorate. For example, a teenage bedspread will look ridiculous on the bed of an adult married couple and vice versa.
2. The product must match the size of the bed or be slightly larger than it. It's not scary when the edges hang down too much - they can always be folded, but a bedspread too small on a large bed surface will look just ridiculous and will not be functional at all.
3. Pay particular attention to the origin of the materials and the composition of the filler. It is best that the cover is made exclusively from natural fabrics, which, in contact with the skin, will not cause any allergic reactions.
4. In addition, you should pay attention to the style in which the bed itself is made and choose the style of the bedspread based on this.

Since the bedspread is an object directly related to a person's sleeping place, special attention should be paid to its cleanliness and care:

• The first and most important part of caring for bedspreads is what material they are made of. You should familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the fabric and the peculiarities of its care. In addition, it should be borne in mind that some products also require special handling during daily use.
• You can not use bleaching agents if the instructions for the material do not allow it.
• Quilted bedspreads should not be soaked, as this can adversely affect the inner filling of the product.
• You should adhere to the delicate wash mode with the addition of special cleaning agents and a minimum number of revolutions.
• Rough mechanical drying should be avoided, as it can adversely affect the surface of the product and cause irreparable damage to it.

Stylish bedspread in pink and turquoise colors will be an excellent decoration for a bed with a coach tie in a classic style. The product is complemented by several pillows in the same shades.

The patchwork-style product looks stylish and colorful. The predominance of bright colors gives the bed and bedroom a livelier and more fresh look.
