Covers and plaids of Euro-size

Nothing will demonstrate the atmosphere of home comfort, as stylish bedspreads and Euro-sized plaids. Soft, beautiful, pleasant to the touch accessories today are in almost every home. They stand out against the background of the usual standard analogues and have a number of advantages.

Covers and blankets of Euro-size - spacious canvases covering the surface of the berth at the top and sides. At one time, the size of the “Euro” was called royal, which meant spacious dimensions and maximum comfort. Few people know that the size of the "euro" - not a specific parameter, but a number of spacious dimensions.

Conventionally, there are two lines that are included in the Euro group: European standard and euromax.

The size range of rulers looks like this:

• standard models - 200x200, 220x240 and 240x260 cm;
• Euro-Maxi - 230x250, 260x260, 260x280, 250x250, 280x280 cm.

Today, more often you can hear not "covered the size of the euro", and "covers for the bed (sofa) size of the euro." Trademarks diluted the size range of European dimensions with a mass of standard parameters, adding to them not only adults, but also children's models. In fact, the "euro" is the dimensions that are different from the usual standard analogue for a double bed.

Initially, they were developed for a specific furniture parameter, but due to the varying dimensions of the furniture of individual brands, produced as standards, they expanded the size range. Thanks to this, it is possible to choose an option as precisely as possible to the size of the bed, taking into account allowances for material drooping on each side (in addition to the back of the headboard).

Products on a spacious bed made of natural wool or mixed fibers are unique for their healing properties. Such blankets and rugs contain natural antiseptic lanolin in the composition, due to which the product has anti-inflammatory properties. If the user is not allergic to wool, and he regularly uses such blankets as a blanket, they are able to:

• maintain a constant "correct" temperature regime, not allowing the body to overheat or cool;

Blankets and bedspreads Euro-size is quite spacious, but it affects the cost. Typically, these accessories cost much more than the average size. In most cases, their production uses expensive raw materials, even when it comes to manual work. Not every type of blanket safely transfers washing, and especially sharp mechanical movements of spinning. For example, the structure of fur fibers does not withstand such manipulations, which leads to a decrease in the distance between the hollow fibers, changing the texture (the product loses pomp).

Materials for bedspreads and blankets of euro-size are fabrics, fur, yarn, compressed fiber and filler, used as a product strip. Each company specializes in a specific type of material. Usually, brands try to use high-quality material with high-level performance characteristics.

The range of raw materials for the production of blankets and bedspreads is diverse.Characteristics of the fabric allow you to create a different effect in the interior, achieving the desired atmosphere. The most popular fabrics of plaids and covers of euro-size are:

• cotton and satin;
• tapestry;
• velvet;
• velours;
• silk;
• cashmere;

• microfiber;
• viscose;
• plush;
• fleece;
• wool;
• bamboo;
• softcotton;
• polyamide;
• acrylic.

Each fabric has strengths and weaknesses. Cotton and natural models are environmentally friendly, but short-lived, acrylic blanket is durable, but forms a pellet, wool has excellent heat, but shrinks after washing. To find a balance between practicality and durability of the finished product, blended fabrics are often used in production. Thanks to this approach, the finished products are less capricious in the care and have a longer service life.

Gasket material is used as a heater and to impart texture. In the first case, the reception adds functionality to the product, allowing use as a blanket, in the second, it improves the quality characteristics and makes the product more attractive.

Filler can be used for textured stitches.Usually, when manufacturing a product, a synthetic winterizer of different density is used (the higher, the thicker and more textured the coverlet), although sometimes it is used in the production of hlopkopon, polyester. The first type of raw material consists of blended cotton and synthetic polyester fibers with excellent thermoregulation and hygroscopicity. Polyester is light enough, bulky, retains heat if necessary.

Lining covers and blankets are needed to give softness and warmth. It is used far from in all models (for example, blankets from bulk and soft fleece do not need it). Often in production, thin sliding textiles are used as a lining, which is inconvenient in operation, tends to be magnetised and give up a static discharge. Stamps that pay attention to quality and comfort, try to use a material with blended fibers: this way the cover will not have a magnetic effect and will not be able to slide off the surface of the bed if it is accidentally touched.

The colors of the blankets and bedspreads are multifaceted, like the shades themselves. Usually the choice of color is subject to the general theme of the design: it can be an identical shade or unobtrusive contrast.Excluded are acidic and toxic paints that can break any idea into misunderstood stains and scattered objects.

Shades of bedspreads and blankets can be any, from monochrome to saturated. Today, practicality is in the spotlight, so white is used exclusively with a print.

The most popular shades of bedspreads and blankets are beige, sand, coral, peach, terracotta colors of the color palette and ecru (pale gray-yellow, the color of unbleached flax). In addition to them, pastel colors (pink, lilac, blue, mint, turquoise, lemon, lime) are popular. The bright range includes violet, gold, chocolate, maroon paint and fuchsia.

The themes of the patterns are diverse and subject to the idea of ​​design. The most popular drawings of plaids and covers of euro size are:

• floral and floral motifs;
• Japanese sketches;
• animal print;
• geometric compositions;
• abstraction;
• ethnic sketches;
• lace elements;
• notes of glamor;
• patchwork imitation.

Photo printing today has faded into the background: models with a pattern of texture are in fashion.

Decorating techniques for decorating bedspreads and blankets of euro-size are diverse. The large size of the canvas allows you to create different patterns using different ways of decorating the paintings. The decor may be modest, for example, in the form of stitches in tone or contrast to the base material. In other cases, trademarks use ruffles, flounces, ruffles, bows, lace braid, decorating the product from three or four sides with an openwork border with folds or pleated fabric. In addition, the product can be decorated with fringe, tassels, pompoms, satin ribbon.

An interesting decor technique is the creation of a pattern in the form of a bouquet of flowers with the help of a line representing the stems, and the inflorescences themselves from multi-layered satin flaps. In order not to disturb the harmony of the design, the material is selected in the same color range with the base of the bedspread and complements the product with two pillows in a similar style.

A good design technique is machine embroidery.Today it is a small fragments, located on a textile basis. Thanks to silk threads, it stands out against the general background, it looks harmonious and appropriate.

Choosing a blanket or a Euro-size bedspread is a simple task. However, before buying you need to measure the dimensions of the length and width of the berth, as well as its height (distance to the floor). It is important to take into account the model of the bed (sofa), because the overall look will depend on it (the canvas should not be rolled up if its size is larger than necessary). If there is no back at the head, double the distance to the floor minus 4 - 5 cm is added to the length and width parameters (the parameter is measured taking into account the mattress). If there is a back, add 40 cm to the length of the bedspread or rug.

Minimal side faces must be at least 30 cm, otherwise the illusion will be created that the size of the blanket or bedspread does not match the furniture and is chosen at random.

We must not forget about the invoice: thin models of textiles crumple, do not always look presentable.It is better if they have a padding and stitch.

In addition, it is worth taking note of a few tips that simplify the purchase of a quality product:

• a certificate of quality and compliance with hygiene standards, as well as guarantees of the seller are obligatory: this indicates the seriousness of the company and the high level of product performance;
• It is desirable to unpack the product (a quality product has a label with information about the manufacturer, its legal address, care recommendations and the composition of the material used), so you can check the product for manufacturing defects;
• the color of the model should not completely copy the shade of the curtains: the colors close in tone are welcome;
• shade and style can be matched to the existing interior items, a combination with a shade of furniture facades is allowed;
• dense fabrics with heavy fittings are welcomed for a luxurious baroque design;

Care instructions for each type of canvas Euro-size is different.If they are fur products, they are more capricious in care: they can often not be washed at all, because fur suffers from this. Such products include a dry brushing. In most cases, upon contact with water, their structure changes, which negatively affects the premium appearance.

Models of euro-sized textiles are washable. If they are thin, such products are placed in a washing machine and can withstand washing in a delicate mode at a temperature of not more than 30-40 degrees.

Drying blankets or blankets of a large size depends on the thickness of the product and the composition of the material. Thin canvases are not deformed when upright. Blankets made of wool or cashmere are preferably dried in a horizontal position. You can not use heating devices: drying must be natural. Accelerating the "drying" of the material can lead to the formation of an unpleasant swamp smell and the compression of the fibers.

To understand what type of product is better to buy, you can pay attention to the ideas of experienced designers. This will make it possible to understand in which style it is better to fit one or another model.

A textile model with a fine stitch will perfectly suit the bedroom of purple-white tones. Light pink and green shades will bring cheerfulness and a feeling of comfort, small embroidery will fill the room with warmth. A light pink lampshade of a desk lamp and fresh flowers with fresh greens located on a round table will help to support the bedspread. The small picture of summer subjects perfectly framed in design, framed by a white frame.

The bedroom in monochrome tones with sand-colored linoleum and beige bed can be decorated with a luxurious bedspread with lace and frill, forming a fluffy skirt. Such an accent will not overload the overall design idea, however, the product will look better bundled with pillows of the same style.To make the room look alive with lively colors, it is better to choose a model of a milky color: the abundance of monochrome tones casts boredom and hopelessness.

The interior with pompous elements can be decorated with a luxurious, spacious bedspread with a real picture bordered with golden lace patterns. Moreover, so that the product harmoniously looked in the interior of a room with beige wallpaper and curtains of a similar shade, it is enough that one of the shades of the canvas be close to them in tone. A beautiful background will support the warm color combinations of the paint palette, and due to muffling it will not look puffy against the background of carved furniture with gold leaf.
