The bed, which is the center of the bedroom, should look luxurious and at the same time cozy at home. The jacquard coverlet is capable of making it just like that due to its complex pattern of interwoven threads. The unique refinement of the atmosphere will help to emphasize pillowcases on pillows made of the same material and colors. What is so attractive jacquard fabric?
Features of jacquard products
A repeating embossed pattern lies at the heart of the jacquard fabric, which can be made from either natural or artificial material. The product, made of silk and cotton threads, often with the addition of viscose, has a special iridescent shine. The relief and high strength of the multilevel pattern is provided by threads that differ in thickness, color gamut and structure.
The magnificence of the fabric is always a priority among textile manufacturers and interior designers. Jacquard bedspreads are created from it on a sofa or bed, elegant clothes, covers and curtains are sewn, the walls are draped with it and upholstered furniture is upholstered.
It would be a mistake to consider jacquard one of the types of fabric or just a pattern. In fact, it is a symbiosis of both, a special technique, a special weaving art. Despite the fact that old punch card machines have replaced the latest computer devices, the technique of weaving complex drawings, invented two hundred years ago by the French master and named after him, remains unchanged to this day.
Reasons for popularity
There are so many reasons why for more than two centuries jacquard bedspreads on the bed have always been popular. What are the advantages, besides the extraordinary beauty, due to which the jacquard product will decorate any interior, attract the attention of buyers to this particular kind of fabric?
- Wear, strength, which is explained by the special technique of weaving threads.
- Relief and density, allowing you to create a spectacular drapery.
- Wear resistance. The fabric retains its original appearance for a very long time.
- Good thermal conductivity. The fabric is quite dense, and a bedspread can successfully replace a blanket.
- Lightweight and compact.
- The cover is unpretentious in leaving, it can be washed, adhering to the delicate mode, also it does not require ironing.
A quality product of a famous brand is quite expensive, which is perhaps the only drawback that a jacquard bedspread has. Turkey and China produce budget options for popular products.
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 does not have a wrong side, and any of the sides can be chosen as the front door by the hostess.
A multilayer sample consists of three layers:
- The front part is directly the jacquard fabric, consisting of a beautiful, but complex pattern.
- The inner layer, it is also a filler, which is a bulk environmental material that does not cause allergies and perfectly retains heat. It can be a synthetic winterizer, silicone or polyester (in more expensive models), combining the qualities of wool and cotton, but remaining extremely durable.
- The bottom part of the bedspread is most often used satin, which determines the incredible softness and comfort of the product.
All three layers are connected by a patterned or geometric stitch, which emphasizes the ornament of the fabric and at the same time keeps the filler from shifting, thereby increasing the durability of the bedspread.
Jacquard bedspreads on the bed
In order for the product to truly become an interior decoration, it is important to determine how the bed will be made up, and in accordance with these ideas, calculate the size of the proposed purchase. The calculation looks something like this:
- The width of the mattress plus the distance at which it is planned to lower the fabric, covering the side of the bed.
- The length of the mattress plus the length of the fabric covering the ends of the bed, if they have no backs.
A mistake will not creep into such a calculation when the owners know exactly how in the future they plan to refuel the box. There are three main ways to make a bed beautiful.
- Classical. The cover 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 cover is completely tucked under the mattress from all sides.
Issue price
The price of a jacquard bedspread depends on which country the fabric is made in 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% made from 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 these numbers are scary, you should look for instances of co-production. Some Italian brands produce their products in factories in China. Cheap labor, coupled with a mixed fabric composition (natural threads plus synthetics) makes it possible to produce luxurious, but cheaper models.
The budget option is a Chinese bedspread made entirely of synthetic fiber. Turkish fabrics are considered better than Chinese, and are often made entirely from natural cotton.
By supporting a Russian entrepreneur, you can choose inexpensive, but very high-quality domestic jacquard bedspreads (Ivanovo). Our textile enterprises today are proving their ability to offer customers fabrics made from natural materials that are not inferior to European counterparts.
Selection tips
The assortment of bedspreads is really huge, and anyone can find the only model that will fully suit his tastes. However, it happens that the available diversity only complicates decision making. Some tips from professionals:
- Emphasis on the bed. When the interior of the room is made in neutral pastel colors, the cover of contrasting colors looks very impressive.
- Under the color of furniture. This design looks especially advantageous when the jacquard cover is tucked under the mattress.
- Under the color of the walls. A variant harmoniously looks in which the color tone of the walls and the bedspreads coincide, differing only in ornament and decoration.
- Curtains are color companions. For example, the curtains are white with a blue pattern, and the bedspread, on the contrary, is blue with a white ornament.
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.
