Set of curtains and bedspread for the bedroom: selection criteria

Bedspreads and curtains for the bedroom
Bedspreads and curtains for the bedroom have a strong influence on the interior of the room as a whole. This is an indispensable design attribute. Bedspread and curtain sets for the bedroom create coziness and show the completion of the entire design. Bedspreads for a bedroom with curtains are selected according to the same principles, which is what we will talk about today.

The video in this article will show you in detail how to perform this work. And the price of the work will depend on you personally. After all, you can do everything entirely with your own hands and not use the services of designers. Let's look at how to choose bedspreads and curtains for the bedroom.

The role of textiles and fabric partnerships

Bedspreads and curtains for the bedroom, decorative pillows can make the interior of the room more comfortable and homely. The bedroom serves as a place to relax, so the owners pay close attention to harmony and selection of elements.

Ready-made kits solve the problem of selecting products with a single texture, color, and style:

• It’s not enough to say that textiles occupy one of the leading places in interior design in any style.
• Any design concept can be realized with the help of rich color sets, in many presented today.
• Textile design is a very exciting activity and can take a long time.
• Creating a fashionable variety of styles with your own hands, giving the interior an elegant mystery, slight intrigue and individuality, deserves the investment of time and effort.
• Today you won’t surprise anyone with multi-layer fabric, which is used when decorating windows (see How to decorate a window in a bedroom correctly) and allows you to create a bedroom atmosphere from intimate, classical to theatrical.
• How to choose a bedspread and curtains for the bedroom so that they become the main accent of the composition as a whole?
• In the classic version, a set consisting of curtains and a bedspread is made in the same color and from the same type of fabric, continuing the background of the room as a whole, which adds elegance and beauty to the bedroom.
• One color scheme with patterns of various shapes comes from the Victorian era. Often the fabrics contain stripes, graceful curls and monograms; the fabrics are distinguished by variegated colors. When creating a set, there is no need to use additional finishing details; it can be made from the same fabrics present in the textile elements, and the absence of repeating patterns can emphasize the integrity of the set.
• For lovers of an artsy interior style, it is necessary to purchase sets of bedspreads and curtains for the bedroom with rich texture and luxurious finishes.
• In a Baroque style bedroom you can see not just a couple of pillows, but a whole heap of these products, decorated with exquisite lace, drapery, fringe, multi-layer curtains bordered with a lambrequin.
• Beautiful curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom can be chosen in the style of romanticism and shabby chic, and the art deco style requires a lot of money, because to create it you need a lot of expensive textile sets. They do not shout about the luxury of the owners, they demonstrate their status and capabilities.
• The interior, decorated in a minimalist style, contains sets of textiles with geometric patterns; the composition is built on the play of contrasts or straight lines.

Attention: Sets can be changed depending on the time of year and mood. In winter, soft and warm textured fabrics can compensate for the deficiencies of sun and heat.

• A summer bedroom set, curtains and a bedspread with cool shades will add freshness and coolness to the sultry air of the midday heat.

What influences the design of curtains and bedspreads

The design of curtains for the bedroom will help create the mood and charge the space with positive emotions, which, in turn, will be influenced by the combination of paints, color and texture.

So:

• Bedroom design curtains and bedspreads serve as a background for drawing decorative elements and the furniture located there. Very often, with the help of these elements, a particular object is emphasized or darkened.
• Using ready-made curtains with a bedspread for the bedroom, you can change the style of the room, thereby emphasizing the image of the owner.

• The perception of space depends on the color, texture and pattern of curtains and bedspreads.

The influence of curtain color on room size

For a bedroom, curtains and bedspreads have a strong influence on the visual perception of the room, especially in its volume. Let's look at some points in this regard.

It would be better to also look at the photo:

Selecting curtains by color

• No one doubts that the complete impression of a room depends on the color scheme. You can expand the seven-meter kitchen visually, as well as hide the extra meters of the large living room. You just have to choose the right color for the curtains.
• Warm colors ranging from violet-red to yellow create the effect of enlarging and highlighting the window space.
• Colors belonging to a cold color palette make the object visually distant. This effect can be achieved using curtains with soft green, lavender, blue, or pearl shades.
• Light colors make a room appear wider, while dark colors make a room appear smaller.

Selection of drawings for the soul

Curtains with photo printing look beautiful; the ability to choose an interesting design option will create coziness and tranquility. It could be the night sky with stars shining on it, or a marine theme.

Coming up with something with different shades will also be a good solution, and if correctly selected elements are placed on top of each other in several layers, a masterpiece can emerge.

The choice of bedspreads and curtains is both the design and the color of the fabric

And now, how to choose a bedspread and curtains for the bedroom according to the design:

• Single-color fabrics without any image help to combine well in the interior. The texture and color make them attractive.
• When choosing a fabric with a pattern, you need to pay attention not only to the color, but also to the theme of the pattern and its size. The pattern on the curtains should be in harmony with other patterns located on decorative elements, furniture and carpets.
• For a small room with wallpaper applied, it is best to use plain curtains.
• The selection of fabric to match the interior color follows two principles. The first design principle is based on contrast. The color scheme of decorative elements may contrast with the main color of the curtains. The color of the curtains can be complemented by bright textile design elements. The second case of design involves the harmony of decorative elements with the main color. The only difference is the tone of this color.
• It would be appropriate to choose a brightly saturated color with an expressive pattern for the living room.
• The color scheme of bedroom curtains should have calm tones, the atmosphere of the room should be relaxing and soothing.
• Vertical stripes placed on the curtains create the illusion that the distance from floor to ceiling is much greater than in reality. Although horizontal stripes make the ceiling lower and the walls move away, making the room square.
• Curtains made from textured fabrics go well with smooth leather coverings and polished furniture.
• Colored furniture will look good with rectangular patterns on the fabric, especially with a vertical rectangle.

Attention: Imagine how combined fabrics will look in harmony with other interior details, and then decide on the choice of fabric.

What to consider when choosing curtains

There are some points that you need to pay special attention to when choosing curtains:

• The combination of curtain type and fabric type with room orientation, size and purpose.
• Linking the pattern, color and structure of the fabric with the color and texture of the rest of the textiles - carpets, upholstery and decorations. For example: towels, tablecloths, bedspreads, blankets, pillows.
• Sewing curtains and making other decorative elements from textiles, adhering to a single style solution, fitting everything into the style of the interior.
• When choosing curtains, you need to take into account the shape and size of the window. In addition, do not forget the purpose of the curtains and what function they will perform. They will either be purely decorative or serve as protection from unnecessary prying eyes and sunlight. Curtains should emphasize and frame the picturesque view from the window or smooth out the undesirable view of the landscape seen outside the window.
• You should not forget the proportions of the room and determine for yourself whether the curtains will serve as a bright accent for guests and family members or whether they will serve as an elegant look for the interior.
• Don't forget about accessories. A small detail can add unique beauty to the entire interior. When decorating a window, one of these parts may be a tieback, a brush, a curtain rod tip or a decorative curtain holder. Correctly selected fringe, cords, and tassels can emphasize the elegance of the fabric and become a dominant feature in the design.
• Don't discount having lighting. Curtains should always look good: both during the day and in the evening. When buying fabric in a salon, it is impossible to determine this, since the lighting there is completely different than in your apartment. The main condition for the correct choice of curtains is considered to be a competent understanding of how the fabric will “behave” in a particular room under artificial and daylight.

Criterias of choice

Beautiful curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom must be chosen based on many factors and everything must be taken into account. Let's systematize these principles.

We take into account the features of the room from the photo

Attention: And finally, remember one more piece of advice that has nothing to do with the color scheme of the curtains: the smaller and simpler the curtain, the more expensive the fabric material from which the curtain will be sewn should be.

Same fabric for the set

The video in this article contains many interesting, original ideas for decorating a bedroom. If a family gives preference to one specific style, then the choice of set must be made with your other half, adhering to common tastes and material wealth.

As a rule, bedspreads and curtains for a bedroom are sewn from the same fabrics to create an ensemble that matches the style and interior of the room. The choice of a finished set is influenced by the wallpaper (see Wallpaper options for the bedroom: select according to the interior) on the walls. Experts recommend choosing a product in such a way that the bedspread, curtains and wallpaper fit each other as best as possible, not forgetting some nuances.

Homemade crafts

Such beauty is within the power of real craftswomen
. Gone are the days when curtains and drapes of the same type were offered, and now sewing a stylish set of curtains and bedspreads with your own hands is not as simple as it seems:

• When lambrequins, curtains, bedspreads, and pillows became decorative decorations for the interior and emphasized the individuality of style, the question of home crafts arose.
• The price of self-sewn products will please needlewomen, and many diligent and patient beginners will be able to master the sewing technology and take orders home; an extra penny has never hurt anyone.
• The simplest set can be obtained if you first stock up on fabric for curtains and bedspreads, fabric for lining, curtain tape, threads and padding polyester.
• You just need to cut the tulle to the desired length, sew on the braid and gather it together. Curtains also do not require much effort in sewing; lambrequins and bedspreads will require time and certain knowledge.
• The bedspread is made in the form of a bedspread; it is easier to make it from tapestry fabric; it is more difficult to sew a quilted fabric with padding polyester and gathered at the bottom. The bedspread will become a decoration if you know the technology of sewing a quilted product.

Attention: For training, it is recommended to first sew a patchwork blanket for a baby crib and quilt it in order to learn how to make even stripes and diamonds.

• First, the correct measurements are taken from the bed. It is not difficult to take basic measurements for length, width, height; an increase of 1-1.5 cm on the main fabric will not hurt. It is more difficult to take into account the angle of the mattress when cutting, because modern beds use mattresses with rounded corners. This is not difficult to do, just trace a corner on paper and cut it out with scissors.

We measure the width

And length

Now there are all dimensions for material calculations:

• If the bedspread is planned with a frill, then the height should be calculated so that the frill does not touch the floor and does not become dirty during use.
• The main difficulty in sewing a bedspread is the sewing lines, which reach more than 2 meters.
• It is very rare that the top fabric fails to “fit” with such continuous stitching.
• As a result, the intersection of the seams of diamonds and squares will be “decorated” by sagging fabric on top, reducing the size of the bedspread in the finished product.

Attention: Each stitch on the fabric is performed immediately as a finishing stitch; unraveling the wrong stitch is undesirable due to the puncture marks remaining on expensive satin and silk materials.

• Based on this, it is better to purchase expensive, ready-made sets of curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom from professionals, and practice on inexpensive fabrics. When sewing, the fabric is stretched with both hands so that the needle of the machine is always between the hands, then a little effort will help the sewing machine and prevent the upper fabric from “sagging.”
• Do not pull the fabric in any one direction so as not to break the needle. The result of the workout can be very unsightly if you make small diamonds. A large geometric pattern looks very beautiful on a bedspread, with less effort and time.
• When cutting the bedspread, the fabric is not cut exactly to size and those 1-1.5 cm allowances for the seams will be insufficient; you should add 3-5 cm to the length and width, which will be removed when re-adjusting the seams, which always takes place. The same rules apply to lining fabric and padding polyester.
• The marking of the required size is done in assembled, quilted form; the proverb “measure seven times, and then cut” is very relevant here. Before cutting the excess, you need to once again go along the cutting line with a tack stitch and measure the bedspread again.
• The quilted pattern should be placed evenly over the entire surface, without moving to one side, which could lead to changes in size, but the patterns begin and end strictly at the edges.
• The drawings here will help you complete the job without errors. On an unfolded checkered sheet, a life-size model of a rhombus or square is made, and on the back side of the material, according to the dimensions of the future product, outlined in chalk, a model is laid out.
• It is difficult to mark the front side, where only one method is used so far, when lines with a contrasting color are manually quilted, and then a stitch is performed along these lines on a machine.
• Someone will object and remember that there is a more advanced method with special paper that sticks to the fabric and is easily removed when wet. Manual basting is cleaner and more reliable; it allows you to prevent the fabric from shrinking as much as possible and fix it with the lining and padding polyester.
• The ideal option is a finishing stitch on the back of the bedspread, in other words, on the lining, but this requires experience and skills that are acquired in the process of work.

This is how frills are made on a bedspread

Sew the frill to the bedspread so that it becomes a permanent part and makes it much easier to process the edges of the bedspread. It allows you to hide uneven stitches and lines.

Calculating the material for frill is easy. Pieces left over from cutting the bedspread can go into it, they can be increased, the main thing is to cut the strips in one direction, and hide the connecting seams in the folds.

Way out of any situation

To understand and choose the length, you can analyze whether the curtains will interfere with the table next to the bed; in this case, it may be more rational to choose short ones.

If, after rearranging, you still have to change the curtains, but there is not enough money for this, you can sew them yourself with fabric and accessories.
