Guidelines for choosing bedspreads

Tips for choosing:

• The decorative design of the plaid should create a harmonious combination with other interior elements, such as curtains, pillows or rugs.
• If the apartment has pets, it is not advisable to choose a bedspread made of silk or satin, as puffs quickly appear on it.
• The furniture set, in the form of a sofa with armchairs, can be decorated in the same style, or use separate wraps for them, differing in color and texture.
• It would be better to cover the structure with the ottoman with a plaid, throwing it slightly casually on the seat.
• A universal option is an elastic euro cover, which allows you to design furniture of any non-standard shape, for example, a round structure, a sofa with a ledge or armrests.
• Soft rugs that retain heat well are suitable for a leather sofa. So that the cloak does not slip from this upholstery, you should consider ways of attaching it or choose non-slip models from cotton or bamboo.
• A long sofa can be visually shortened and expanded if you put a cover across the structure.

Varieties of bedspreads

There are several main categories:

• Stretch models with elastic. The dimensionless eurocover completely repeats the bends of the sofa design and allows you to achieve the effect of natural sheathing, without bumps and creases.
• Universal. They are simple non-fixed canvases that simply cover the surface of the sofa.
• Fragmented. They suggest the design of certain furniture fragments and are distinguished by fastening in the form of Velcro or ties.
• Functional. These accessories not only perfectly fulfill their main purpose, but can also be waterproof, have the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation or massage action and thereby create additional comfort.
