Soft, comfortable, delicate bedspreads or classic checkered patterns - a plush blanket will not only decorate any room, but also warm its inhabitants in bad weather.
Variations of blankets: choosing the right option
To purchase a blanket that will fully meet the taste preferences of the owner and perform the assigned functions, you need to understand their diversity.
A plaid plaid with a classic checkered print clearly asks for a room with a fireplace and a rocking chair. This cover is a symbol of home comfort, winter evenings with a cup of cocoa and reading a volume of poems of the beloved poet.
Thin fleece options are indispensable when traveling. They do not take up much space, but can give warmth on the road. Many people get such a blanket for gatherings around the campfire or camping with a tent.
If you choose a bright floral ornament or cartoon drawing, then a fleece blanket will perfectly decorate a bedroom or a children's room, acting as a budget, but stylish decoration.
Double-sided models are ideal for fans to constantly change something in the interior. They allow you to instantly change the mood of the room and please its owner with an introduced variety.
Exclusive tailoring
Plaids of exclusive production are real masterpieces of sewing craftsmanship. Such instances are able to emphasize the individual character of the room and its owner. In the monochrome interior, they can safely give the main role, with which they will cope perfectly.
If you need to give the bedroom warmth, comfort and harmony, you should choose a plush blanket for the bed. Such an instance is able to add tenderness not only to the interior, but also to the relationship of people. A soft, fluffy plaid will give a positive mood, even if the window is gray and dull weather.
Criterias of choice
Of course, the color scheme and the existing pattern play a big role in choosing a bedspread. But when acquiring a plush blanket, it is also important to pay close attention to its composition and the size of the villi.
- If necessary, in a blanket to cover the bed, you need to look for options with synthetic fibers. If the purchase is used as a blanket, then cotton and wool are preferable.
- Long-plush plaid looks great on the bed. But with the planned active use of it or covering the sofa, it is worth paying attention to the shortened pile.
- Two-sided jacquard patterns are ideal for children's rooms. They will perfectly decorate the room and serve as a blanket if necessary.
- For sensitive people prone to allergic reactions, it is better to opt for a rug, which is composed of acrylic. It not only has excellent performance, but also does not collect dust.
If there are no acrylic fibers in the composition of the plaid, then such a blanket strongly absorbs dust.
Color scheme
The color of the plaid depends on the style of the room. But it can be a separate, bright spot. Usually it is selected to match the curtains or combined with existing furniture.
When the walls in the room are bright enough, then a plush blanket on the bed, the photo of which is presented below, it is better to choose muted shades. It is recommended to exclude any pattern or prefer a print matching the tone of the bedspread.
The idea of playing in contrast is interesting. Plush plaids with a dense printed pile look harmonious when their dark shade is knocked out in a light interior. If the room is decorated in deep, rich colors, you need a paler cover.
Size is important
As for the size, it is worthwhile to understand for what purposes a thing is acquired. If a blanket is necessary for cozy gatherings in an armchair, then the best option would be a 150 by 200 cm model.
When choosing a blanket as a gift, it is better to limit yourself to a small fur specimen with sizes 130 to 170 cm. This model is universal and suitable for many purposes.
To cover the beds are guided by its size. Too voluminous will unnecessarily clutter up the room. Small - look ridiculous on beds with carved headboards, but fit perfectly into metal models.
Ways to care for a plush blanket
In order for the plaid to remain fluffy, soft for a long time and retain all its properties, it is necessary to properly care for it. But the method of washing, cleaning and drying depends on its constituent fibers.
A bona fide manufacturer always indicates all the necessary information about the product, including cleaning rules. But in any case, the plush blanket with a large pile is not processed in the washing machine, even if it is very dirty. From this, all practical characteristics are lost and the cover ceases to be so soft and fluffy.
The blanket is rinsed in cool water. If the product has a synthetic composition and low pile, then machine washing is possible, but excluding high temperatures and high drum speeds during drying. Delicate washing at 30 degrees will be the best choice.
Drying also has its own characteristics. It is not recommended to hang the product in an upright position. From this, the material is pulled out and loses its shape. The best way is considered to be natural drying in a horizontal position on a grating surface.
If persistent stains and dirt appear on a dense pile, it is recommended to dry clean the item. There, using special, gentle means, they will remove stains and significantly refresh the look of your favorite bedspread.
