Review of sets of curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom, children's room, new items

If you want to somehow freshen up your bedroom or nursery, you can use a set of curtains and a bedspread for this. This solution will give the room atmosphere, comfort and a feeling of care. The main thing is to choose these elements wisely so as not to spoil the overall appearance of the room.

Decor is one of the important components of the interior of any room.

Textile decoration of the bedroom and nursery

When decorating bedrooms, everyone chooses the style that will allow them to truly relax. Some people love light and airy silhouettes and prints, while others prefer semi-darkness, tactile pleasure and relaxing aromas. In each case, you can choose the best option if you know the basic rules.


To decorate windows and beds, special kits are used that are made in the same style.

  • You should always remember the purpose of arranging a children's room or bedroom - relaxation. If the preliminary selection does not meet the criterion, then in this situation this option will have to be postponed.
  • Curtains for a bedroom with a bedspread must be chosen to match the style of the room; it is harmony that contributes to quality relaxation.
  • It is not recommended to “overload” the decor with too large a palette (up to three colors), but there is also no need to do everything in one shade.
  • It is believed that overly bright colors excite the nervous system, so it is better to stick to classic or simply pastel colors: beige, cream, sky blue, soft pink and others.
  • Be mindful of accents and composition. The overall appearance should ultimately resemble a work of art.


Compared to separate types, these options have many advantages.

It makes sense to take care of the practicality of the products, because when purchasing a new product, even an inexpensive one, you want to enjoy the beautiful surroundings longer. To do this, you need to take care of the product, wash it, if possible, wipe it from dust and treat it with a product if necessary. If this brings trouble, then buying a new thing is not for everyone.


The main advantage of ready-made bedroom sets is the presence of a uniform design.

Hypoallergenicity is one of the important components of the modern world, because many people are to a certain extent prone to allergic manifestations. This is especially true when selecting curtains and bedspreads in a bedroom set (see photo below) for a nursery or an allergy sufferer of any age.


The bedspread and curtains combine harmoniously with each other, thereby beneficially complementing the overall decor of the room.

Note! If the child is not too small, then it is advisable to give him a choice (from 2-3 already suitable options) of at least a pattern or color of the material. This will allow him to subconsciously feel more comfortable.

Homemade crafts


Such beauty is within the power of real craftswomen
. Gone are the days when curtains and drapes of the same type were offered, and now sewing a stylish set of curtains and bedspreads with your own hands is not as simple as it seems:

  • When lambrequins, curtains, bedspreads, and pillows became decorative decorations for the interior and emphasized the individuality of style, the question of home crafts arose.
  • The price of self-sewn products will please needlewomen, and many diligent and patient beginners will be able to master the sewing technology and take orders home; an extra penny has never hurt anyone.
  • The simplest set can be obtained if you first stock up on fabric for curtains and bedspreads, fabric for lining, curtain tape, threads and padding polyester.
  • You just need to cut the tulle to the desired length, sew on the braid and gather it together. Curtains also do not require much effort in sewing; lambrequins and bedspreads will require time and certain knowledge.
  • The bedspread is made in the form of a bedspread; it is easier to make it from tapestry fabric; it is more difficult to sew a quilted fabric with padding polyester and gathered at the bottom. The bedspread will become a decoration if you know the technology of sewing a quilted product.

Attention: For training, it is recommended to first sew a patchwork blanket for a baby crib and quilt it in order to learn how to make even stripes and diamonds.

  • First, the correct measurements are taken from the bed. It is not difficult to take basic measurements for length, width, height; an increase of 1-1.5 cm on the main fabric will not hurt. It is more difficult to take into account the angle of the mattress when cutting, because modern beds use mattresses with rounded corners. This is not difficult to do, just trace a corner on paper and cut it out with scissors.


We measure the width


And length

Now there are all dimensions for material calculations:

  • If the bedspread is planned with a frill, then the height should be calculated so that the frill does not touch the floor and does not become dirty during use.
  • The main difficulty in sewing a bedspread is the sewing lines, which reach more than 2 meters.
  • It is very rare that the top fabric fails to “fit” with such continuous stitching.
  • As a result, the intersection of the seams of diamonds and squares will be “decorated” by sagging fabric on top, reducing the size of the bedspread in the finished product.

Attention: Each stitch on the fabric is performed immediately as a finishing stitch; unraveling the wrong stitch is undesirable due to the puncture marks remaining on expensive satin and silk materials.

  • Based on this, it is better to purchase expensive, ready-made sets of curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom from professionals, and practice on inexpensive fabrics. When sewing, the fabric is stretched with both hands so that the needle of the machine is always between the hands, then a little effort will help the sewing machine and prevent the upper fabric from “sagging.”
  • Do not pull the fabric in any one direction so as not to break the needle. The result of the workout can be very unsightly if you make small diamonds. A large geometric pattern looks very beautiful on a bedspread, with less effort and time.
  • When cutting the bedspread, the fabric is not cut exactly to size and those 1-1.5 cm allowances for the seams will be insufficient; you should add 3-5 cm to the length and width, which will be removed when re-adjusting the seams, which always takes place. The same rules apply to lining fabric and padding polyester.
  • The marking of the required size is done in assembled, quilted form; the proverb “measure seven times, and then cut” is very relevant here. Before cutting the excess, you need to once again go along the cutting line with a tack stitch and measure the bedspread again.
  • The quilted pattern should be placed evenly over the entire surface, without moving to one side, which could lead to changes in size, but the patterns begin and end strictly at the edges.
  • The drawings here will help you complete the job without errors. On an unfolded checkered sheet, a life-size model of a rhombus or square is made, and on the back side of the material, according to the dimensions of the future product, outlined in chalk, a model is laid out.
  • It is difficult to mark the front side, where only one method is used so far, when lines with a contrasting color are manually quilted, and then a stitch is performed along these lines on a machine.
  • Someone will object and remember that there is a more advanced method with special paper that sticks to the fabric and is easily removed when wet. Manual basting is cleaner and more reliable; it allows you to prevent the fabric from shrinking as much as possible and fix it with the lining and padding polyester.
  • The ideal option is a finishing stitch on the back of the bedspread, in other words, on the lining, but this requires experience and skills that are acquired in the process of work.

This is how frills are made on a bedspread

Sew the frill to the bedspread so that it becomes a permanent part and makes it much easier to process the edges of the bedspread. It allows you to hide uneven stitches and lines.

Calculating the material for frill is easy. Pieces left over from cutting the bedspread can go into it, they can be increased, the main thing is to cut the strips in one direction, and hide the connecting seams in the folds.

Bedspread and curtains for the bedroom

Purchasing a set to create coziness is a common practice; this applies not only to curtains and bedspreads, but also to pillowcases. This tactic in decorating a room provides advantages.


The interior takes on a laconic, finished look.

  • It is more difficult to make a mistake in the combination of different elements in one area.
  • This makes the whole design task easier (especially if you have an idea of ​​the desired shades and prints).
  • Changing a set of curtains and bedspreads for the bedroom (with new clothes from Turkey, for example) can radically affect the appearance, refresh it, it’s like a relatively cheap upgrade of the room.

To create sets, one material is used.

In addition to following the basic rules for selecting a set, it is worth paying attention to the combination with the interior itself. This means you need to think about how the purchase will look in the context of the entire look of the room.


Ready-made kits are a stylish design accent.

There are basic ideas for combining (but you can experiment if you wish).

  • The use of animal prints, which involves diluting the light space with an African theme, means the introduction of red, sand and brown shades. Perhaps it will be a fleecy surface or an image of representatives of the animal world.
  • Asian theme - pastel colors, a hint of the passion for Feng Shui, the application of hieroglyphic signs and symbols, and also, possibly, the introduction of additional elements of bamboo. Everything should look neat, harmonious, clean and restrained.
  • Very bright, contrasting accentuation - the use of light and bright surfaces so that they complement each other. Moreover, it is not so important whether the ready-made curtains for the bedroom complete with a bedspread will be that three-color focus of attention or whether this role will be taken on by walls, furniture, etc.


A wide range of choice of sets consisting of curtains and bedspreads allows you to choose options in accordance with the style of the bedroom.

  • “Rich”, rich style, a hint of Baroque, where it is imperative to combine various waves, drapery and exquisite patterns. This is a fabric that gives off shine, both on the curtain and on the bed. It’s difficult not to overdo it here, because usually the design is not completely repeated on each element, but only a clear hint of a connection with it.
  • The favorite style of many is the classic, its trump card is versatility. He takes on the difficult mission of pleasing the majority, being aesthetic, unobtrusive and “caring.” That is, classic calm colors, balance and harmony, pleasant-to-touch surfaces predominate here, and the design is not carried out at the expense of absolute comfort.

Ready-made kits are not only a decorative element, they perform protective functions.

Important! The neatness of the furnishings of any room speaks volumes about the owner’s taste, and the comfort in the bedroom also speaks to his self-esteem.

Opposites

A difficult case where everyone is “on their own.” The bedspread and curtains do not have the same color, pattern, or fabric, but they look harmonious due to their compatibility with the walls, floor and furnishings.

To avoid making mistakes in choosing a color palette, use the advice of professionals.

Rule 5. To create a harmonious interior in which textile elements are located on different sides of the color wheel, plan the environment in advance by carefully selecting furniture and decoration.

Selecting bedroom sets by type of fabric

Many owners, in pursuit of their dream bedroom, lose sight of an important detail – practicality. They encounter its realities in a relatively short time, when the material rolls into pellets, is not washed and loses its appearance. This can be avoided if you choose the right fabric, which will not only harmonize with the decor, but will also last for many years.

Often the sets include special covers for pillows. They are able to perform not only a decorative, but also a protective function.

Curtains and jacquard bedspread

Jacquard is not a type of material, but a weaving method that consists in following a special pattern of connecting fibers, as a result of which the fabric acquires many advantages. At least 25 threads are woven together to create a dense fabric suitable for making curtains and bedspreads.


Thanks to such a variety of options, buyers have the opportunity to choose exactly those products that are ideal for the interior of the bedroom.

In demand because:

  • has a low level of deformation when stretched multiple times (another blanket, its fabric often stretches);
  • retains its appearance for a long time, even if it is in regular use;
  • is considered flexible enough to create a drape or give the desired shape to the fabric;
  • not easily soiled, and even if it gets “stained”, it can be washed off without any problems;
  • sunlight does not have a visual negative effect on it, the matter remains in the same color that was originally intended for a long time.


When choosing a set of bedspreads and curtains, you need to take into account the fact that it should combine favorably with the decoration of the bedroom.

This weaving method allows you to adjust the composition of the fabric, which means variability in the ratio of components. You can mix different natural threads with polyester in the ratio in which it will be most successful in each specific case.


Today there are many different styles, and the leading place on the list is occupied by the constant classics.

Thus, craftswomen weave practical curtains and other elements with their own hands, turning their fantasies into reality.

Blackout fabrics

Blackout is a type of fabric suitable for bedrooms and children's rooms, because it is particularly dense. So, even in bright sunny weather, the room can be completely dark. This is important for proper sleep; it is considered to be of high quality in the absence of light irritants to the eyes.

To decorate the bed and windows, a simple cut set made of matte and dense material is suitable.

Blackout is used by many reputable foreign textile companies. It can be used in roller blinds, Roman blinds, curtains and other types, because it:

  • does not allow sunlight to pass through at all;
  • does not change color when exposed to high intensity UV rays for a long time;
  • amenable to shaping, draping and other changes;
  • is durable, retains functionality and aesthetics for a long time;
  • outperforms most curtain materials in terms of thermal insulation and sound insulation;
  • does not burn, the fabric melts and goes out;
  • environmentally friendly, that is, it is not a source of toxins, even under extreme heating conditions;
  • gives a variety of choice.

Please ensure that the curtains and bedspread are made from the same fabric.

The following companies use it in their products: Junkers & Mullers GmbH, Coulisse, Almedahls and others.

Equipment options

A standard set of bedroom textiles consists of one or a pair of curtains and a bedspread.

Sets that also include curtains and a blanket are more in demand among buyers.

The complete set includes, among other things, decorative pillowcases and special covers for pillows.

What to choose depends on the desire and financial capabilities of the client.

Choosing sets for a children's room

A children's room is a special place where the best is selected. Every detail is important, since the issue of safety in raising children always comes first. When choosing a kit, the rules are the same, only the focus, along with the design, will be on practicality and hypoallergenicity.


Curtains are often used as an additional element.

If parents want to raise independent children, then they need to create conditions for this from an early age. Therefore, it is worth thinking about how the small inhabitant of the room can independently take care of the curtains, adjust them, and lay out the bedspread.


To create a harmonious environment, you need to use 2-3 colors.

Curtains, bedspread and pillowcases for girls

Girls usually love various new things: dresses, sandals, earrings. This also applies to the design of the room; only changing one of the elements can lead to an imbalance. This can be avoided by choosing a set to which the rest will be selected. This will save you from unnecessary worries and misunderstandings with your child.


Calm bed tones should be diluted with rich colors.

In addition, from a certain age, the baby can choose what color the bedspread will be on her own, then she will be even more happy to be in her possessions. She will be entertained by her favorite characters, and by imagining herself as a princess, she will secure stable, normal self-esteem for her future adult life.


You can give preference to both single-color and multi-color sets.

Most often, such rooms are decorated mainly in shades of pink, pastel colors: peach, light yellow, soft pink, sometimes light green and lilac. Appropriate patterns, depending on the child’s hobbies - flowers, fairy-tale princesses, sweets, etc. You should not pick up items made of slippery fabric for children who are not large enough, this can be traumatic.

Curtains, bedspread and pillows for a boy

Boys need to think through everything to make them feel comfortable in the room. This means selecting practical curtains and bedspreads, this set, the fabric should not slide, but “sit” firmly in place. The design here plays no less important role than for the girls, because this is where his fantasy story will unfold.

Products in blue can be used for bedrooms with windows located on the south side.

For boys, blue and light blue tones are usually chosen, light green and green, as well as gray and sand. The topic depends on the child’s hobbies and interests. If he loves pirates or cars, then he will correctly use this information for interior design. These can be curtains up to the window sill or roller blinds - for active guys. And for teenagers, you can choose drapes or curtains in the style of an adult bedroom.


Modern manufacturers offer many options, each of which has its own individual characteristics.

Color spectrum

A set of textile items should be combined with the shades of the walls, flooring, and furniture facades. At the same time, you should not choose textile items that completely repeat the colors of the walls - they should differ by several tones, or serve as a logical conclusion to the overall palette. The blue color will set off a lighter shade - blue or aquamarine. Using contrasting tones is also a good option. The main thing is that they are not too saturated and do not overload the vision. Brown can be balanced with beige, and white with gray things.

Adviсe:

  • Focus on the decor of the furniture set - bedside tables, wardrobe. In order for things to form a single ensemble with furniture items, take into account the shades and style;
  • Set the right mood to refresh the room. Do not choose too bright colors - you will quickly get tired of them and want to change them. To create a calm mood, warm, neutral colors are suitable - beige, powdery, cream, lemon shades;
  • To add freshness to the interior, fill it with floral and plant motifs. This can be either an ornament or a print on textiles. The latter should not be flashy;
  • If the design is dominated by monochrome and neutral tones, they can be diluted with bright colors.

Stylists advise choosing a set based on which side the window opening faces. If there is little natural light in the room, for example, with a north-facing window, use warm shades when decorating. For the south side, you can add coolness - blue, green, lilac colors.

Ready-made kit or made to order

After designating the material and colors of the curtains, it’s time to choose a purchase method. You can order individual tailoring or buy a ready-made version in the store.


Classic shades always complement the interior favorably, bringing comfort and coziness to it.

Features of purchasing at a retail outlet.

  • Fast. You need to know the sizes, fabric and design.
  • Ambiguity of quality. You can’t always guess the price-quality ratio; sometimes expensive doesn’t mean reliable.
  • It's difficult to find something non-trivial.
  • There are almost no non-standard dimensions.
  • Often the end result is seen exactly or so.
  • Not a flight of fancy, you have to take what they give.
  • This is an alternative way to quickly refresh a room; there is no time or financial opportunity to select, clarify, and combine with a professional.


Please ensure that the textile set matches well with other decorative elements.

Sewing curtains and bedspreads to order for a room also has advantages and disadvantages.

  • Wait a little longer for tailoring, and sometimes for patterns.
  • Sometimes this is more expensive than the average priced kit in the store.
  • Professional integrated approach to business.
  • Definitely a successful result. The master will not start sewing until the client decides on the ideal textures, shades, etc.
  • Absolute product quality.
  • Rarely does a company show what it will look like in the end. 3D models are created only in advanced companies. A hand sketch is possible, but that's another topic.
  • Individual consultation, selection according to temperament, character, preferences and desired topic.
  • You can feel the fabric for the set to choose from, be sure of the result, and check the seams before purchasing. There is often a warranty for such a product.

During the purchasing process, be guided by general design trends.

Therefore, if the owner of a bedroom or nursery wants to do it quickly, there are no non-standard dimensions, and design and a competent, individual approach are not a priority, then you can buy it in a store. And creating a unique, non-trivial design will require the intervention of a specialist, then it will be worth the small effort.

“Relief” of thick curtains

In addition to the noted positive qualities, curtains made of dense material “weight” the interior. Designers advise buyers that to avoid such a “trouble” it is necessary to purchase sets of curtains for the bedroom with tulle.

A light curtain will add airiness, which is especially important during the day. One has only to open the curtains and the interior of the room, as if by magic, is transformed.

Important! In the bedroom, as in the entire apartment, it is necessary to maintain order and cleanliness, so choose curtains that are easy to remove yourself and clean from dust or wash in time.

Room Features

A bedroom is a person’s personal space, where guests can enter only with the permission of the owner of the apartment. There may be a lot of hidden and valuable things here. The bedroom can be called the temple of the human soul.

The bedroom should be well protected from daylight by curtains, and therefore the fabric from which they are made should be dense and not allow light to pass through. The bedspread should be soft and comfortable. It is important that it is pleasant to lie on it for a long time, for example, reading a book or working at the computer. If the bedspread is made of poor material or, even worse, it is prickly, then the owner of the apartment will clearly not like being on his bed.

Original ideas

The choice of curtain color depends on the color scheme of your bedroom walls. When going to buy a ready-made set of curtains for the bedroom, you need to take into account the main point - the compatibility of shades in the interior.

The gray color of curtains made of dense material will suit both light and darker interior design in the same shade of the palette. Are the walls finished in a light gray shade? Buy curtains with a darker tone.

The design of a room decorated in country or Provence style will be perfectly complemented by curtains and textiles in milky or blue colors. A good choice for these styles would be a combination of small patterns on a turquoise, white or pink background.

In a small bedroom, sets decorated with small patterns will look advantageous.
