The bed, which is the center of the bedroom, should look luxurious and at the same time cozy at home. This is exactly what a jacquard bedspread can do thanks to its complex pattern of interwoven threads. Pillowcases made of the same material and colors will help emphasize the unique sophistication of the situation. Why is jacquard fabric so attractive?

Features of jacquard products

A repeating embossed pattern is at the heart of jacquard fabric, which can be made from both natural and synthetic materials. A product made of silk and cotton threads, often with the addition of viscose, has a special iridescent sheen. The relief and high strength of the multi-level pattern are provided by threads that differ in thickness, color scheme and structure.

The magnificence of fabric is always a priority for textile manufacturers and interior designers. From it are createdjacquard bedspreads on a sofa or bed, elegant clothes, covers and curtains are sewn, walls are draped with it and upholstered furniture is upholstered.

It would be a mistake to consider jacquard as one of the types of fabric or just a pattern. In fact, this is a symbiosis of both, a special technique, a special art of weaving. Despite the fact that the latest computer devices have replaced the old machines on punched cards, the technique of weaving the most complex patterns, invented two hundred years ago by a French master and named after him, remains unchanged to this day.

Reason for popularity

There are so many reasons why jacquard bedspreads have been consistently popular for over two centuries. What advantages, besides the extraordinary beauty, thanks to which the jacquard product will decorate any interior, attract the attention of buyers to this particular type of fabric?

• Wear, strength, which is explained by the special technique of weaving threads.
• Relief and density, allowing you to create a spectacular drapery.
• Durability. The fabric retains its original appearance for a very long time.
• Good thermal conductivity. The fabric is quite dense, and the bedspread can successfully replace a blanket.
• Light and compact.
• The bedspread is easy to care for, it can be washed on a delicate cycle and does not require ironing.

A quality product of a famous brand is quite expensive, which is perhaps the only drawback thathas a jacquard coverlet. Turkey and China produce budget versions of the popular product.

Simple and layered options

There are two types of products on sale: a simple jacquard bedspread and a multilayer (quilted) one. The first option, consisting of one layer of dense fabric, has a double-sided pattern, that is, it has no inside, and any of the sides can be chosen by the hostess as the front.

Multilayer sample consists of three layers:

• The front part is directly a jacquard fabric, consisting of a beautiful but complex pattern.
• Inner layer, also known as a filler, which is a voluminous environmental material that does not cause allergies and perfectly retains heat. It can be synthetic winterizer, silicone or polyester (in more expensive models), which combines the qualities of wool and cotton, but at the same time remains extremely wear-resistant.
• Satin is most often used as the bottom of the bedspread, which determines the incredible softness and comfort of the product.

All three layers are connected by patterned or geometric stitching, which emphasizes the pattern of the fabric and at the same time keeps the filler from shifting, thereby increasing the durability of the bedspread.

Jacquard bedspreads

In order for the product to really become an interior decoration, it is important to decide how the bed will be made, and in accordance with these ideas, calculate the size of the proposed purchase. The calculation looks likeso:

• The width of the mattress plus the distance you plan to lower the fabric to cover the sides of the bed.
• The length of the mattress plus the length of fabric covering the ends of the bed if they do not have backs.

A mistake will not creep into such a calculation when the owners know exactly how they plan to fill the bed in the future. There are three main ways to decorate a bed beautifully.

• Classic. The bedspread is 12-15 cm longer than the mattress.
• Oriental. The edges of the bedspread completely hide the legs of the bed and lie on the floor.
• Strict (European). The bedspread is fully tucked under the mattress on all sides.

Issue price

The price of a jacquard bedspread depends on the country in which the fabric is produced and what its composition is. The more it contains natural fibers, the more expensive. For example, expensive and very high quality Portuguese models are 100% of the best Egyptian cotton. The goods of European manufacturers are not inferior to them in price. The starting price for them is 16 thousand rubles. Bedspreads, which can truly be called works of art, cost more than 20 thousand rubles. If such figures are scary, you should look for copies of co-production. Some Italian brands manufacture their products in factories in China. Cheap labor, coupled with a mixed composition of the fabric (natural threads plus synthetics), makes it possible to produce luxurious, but cheaper models.

Budgeta variant is a Chinese bedspread made entirely of synthetic fiber. Turkish fabrics are considered higher quality than Chinese and are often made entirely from organic cotton.

Supporting a Russian entrepreneur, you can choose inexpensive, but very high-quality domestic jacquard bedspreads (Ivanovo). Our textile enterprises today prove their ability to offer customers fabrics made from natural materials that are not inferior to European counterparts.

Selection Tips

The range of bedspreads is really huge, and any person will be able to find the only model that will fully meet his tastes. However, it happens that the existing diversity only complicates the decision. Some tips from the pros:

• Accent on the bed. When the interior of the room is done in neutral pastel colors, a contrasting color bedspread looks very impressive.
• The color of the furniture. This design looks especially advantageous when the jacquard bedspread is tucked under the mattress.



• The color of the walls. The option looks harmoniously in which the color tone of the walls and the bedspreads match, differing only in ornament and decoration.
• Curtains are companions in color. For example, the curtains are white with a blue pattern, while the bedspread, on the contrary, is blue with a white pattern.

Whatever choice is made, the main thing is that this wonderful piece of furniture creates comfort and harmony in the room, gives warmth and joy.
