Understanding The Different Bedspread Types & Styles

Bedspreads can be purchased in a variety of different designs and styles. Some are made from cotton while others come in more expensive materials with intricate designs. The style you choose should be mainly based on the way you plan to use it. In addition, you also have to consider your interior design so that your bedspread and linen choices can match your overall design theme. Here are some different bedspread types that you will come across while shopping:

Candlewick Bedspreads

Candlewick bedspreads are the classical choice, and have been around since the 17^th century. They come with elaborate textures while featuring a wide variety of colors. Today, most homeowners mainly use them for decorative purposes on their beds, and seldom utilize them for keeping warm.

Quilted Bedspreads

These types of bedspreads are very popular. This is due to their texture and feel, which are both fluffy and soft. Quilted bedspreads are usually made from warmer fabrics such as polyester or silk. They are often associated with opulence and romance, and are best used during winter to keep you warm and cozy. While they can be costly, quilted bedspreads are some of the most comfortable that you can buy.

Knitted Bedspreads

Knitted bedspreads are similar to the candlewick variation in that they are typically used for decoration. They are often made by hand and will usually feature traditional designs. This type of bedspread is simple yet unpretentious and uniquely special.

Indian Bedspreads

Whereas quilted bedspreads are best used for cold weather, Indian bedspreads are perfect for the hot summer months They can be used both as decorative bedspreads as well as standard bedspreads. Indian bedspreads will usually be lightweight and are easy to carry with you, making them ideal for vacations in warm locales.

Throws

Throws are a type of woven bedspread. They come in intricate designs, which makes them great for decoration purposes. At first glance, woven throws look costly but in reality, they are quite affordable. They are excellent for those who want something stylish without breaking the bank.

Reversible Bedspreads

These bedspreads were given their name due to the fact that one side is printed in a certain design/color while the
other side is in another solid color. Reversible bedspreads are very popular today, and are perfect for those on a budget who are looking for something smart and practical. What we have mentioned earlier in this post is by no means an exhaustive list of bedspread types and styles. There are many other bedspread types, and in fact, it is possible to design your own unique bedspread if you are feeling creative. If you want to discover the different styles that are available, it is best to browse through the bedding section of an online furniture store. Besides the master bedroom, bedspreads may also be used in other areas of your home such as the guest room or even in your outdoor living space. After all, you are only limited by your own imagination!
