A guide to buying a king size bedspread

Marjorie Gilbert Marjorie Gilbert

The king size bed is not just for sleeping, nowadays, but watching TV or spending time with the family. This is not a new concept. Louis XIV was "inordinately fond of staying in bed", and the famous Bed of Ware, at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is 18 feet 6 inches wide and 12 feet long. Since it is so large, the king sized bed needs bedding that does not draw attention to itself but helps it fit in with room.

Think about the room

The room should be considered when picking out the bedspread. The bedspread for the king bed should fit in with the rest of the room. The bedspread should complement the bedding of the king bed as well. The bed spread should complement the style of the bed. If the bed is traditional, then the bed spread should be traditional as well. If the bed is more modern, the bedspread should be modern as well. The fabric of the bedspread can range from silk bedspreads, a quilt bedspread, a satin bedspread, or a king duvet.

Buy the bedspread

The bedspread for the king bed can be purchased at bedding stores, big-box stores, or furnishing stores. There, you may be able to find something that will work with the bed as well as the room. The king comforters will be in a range of styles and prices. If you buy a bedspread with a luxury fabric like satin or silk, you should read the tag to learn the proper care.

Make the bedspread

Making the bedspread is possible as well. The bedspread may be made from squares of cast off clothing that is sewn together as a quilt. It could also be made from tapestry fabric that is lined and stuffed with batting. If you like, it can even be made a caftan you do it yourself. For a more fitted bedspread, you can make a bedspread which consist of a pieces that is as large as the top of the bed. Sew two panels on the sides as well as the end so that they hang down either to the floor or just above it - which will work if you have a bed skirt.
