Interior Design Bedroom

One of the most pleasurable aspects of interior design bedroom planning is that of making your own bedspreads, bed skirts, pillow shams, duvet covers, and coverlets, all to match the decor of your bedroom.

Excellent choices for bedding, when constructing your interior design bedroom plan, would be the use of sateens and chintzes because of their durability and the fact that they drape extremely well. You can also use sheets which, due to their width, may not need to be seemed on some projects.

"A Step Forward In Interior Design" by Carol Pollig-Ballweg is the consummate book on interior decorating for any situation.  This book is unique and the only one of its kind anywhere.

Regardless of the size of your bed, whether it be a twin size, full, queen, or king, the measurements will differ within each category, depending upon the manufacturer and model. Measure your bed correctly so that the bed skirts and bed coverings of your interior design bedroom blueprint will be a perfect fit.

Quick Tip: Be sure to take your measurements over the blankets and the sheets that would typically be used on the bed to guarantee that the bed covering will fit appropriately.

Bedspread Ideas For Your Interior Design Bedroom Blueprint

Your interior design bedroom plans can include a variety of looks with your bedspread by using different trims. For a romantic decoration, try using lace trim or ruffles. A casual, tailored look would call for fabric-covered welting. And if you are going for elegance, try a twisted fringe or welting.

Double Knotted Fringe: This is an elegant look when combined with a bedspread that is made of tapestry fabric.

Stuffed Ruffles: Always perfect for that casual, whimsical look.

Lace Edging: Perfect for that luxurious, sexy, romantic look.

Fabric Covered Welting: Always added to your bed spread for a clean, crisp look.

Fitted Bedspreads

When going for a contemporary look within your interior design bedroom plan, there is nothing more cozy than a fitted bedspread that has channel quilting, designed on top of a platform bed. The bedspread will fit over the mattress, tightly like a fitted sheet, with elastic corners to hold it in place.

The width of the channels may vary, but should never be wider than 10 inches or so. A great way to add variety for the channels is to select 2 to 3 fabrics. Measurements should always be taken over the blankets that you plan on using on the bed.

Duvet Covers

The purpose of a duvet cover within an interior design bedroom fitting is to protect the duvet (or comforter) from wear and tear. Duvet covers are often paired with bed skirts, but can work very well with bed surrounds. For a tailored look, you can edge duvet covers with welting or go romantic by bordering them with ruffles.

No Interior Design Bedroom Plan Can Go Without Pillow Shams

A complete, well-designed interior design bedroom set would not have that perfect finishing touch without the addition of pillow shams. To properly coordinate them with the rest of your bedroom, sew the pillow shams to match the bedspread or your duvet cover.

By adding ruffles and/or welting to them, you can turn regular looking pillows into elegant decorator pillows. Use them as accent pillows or decorative covers.

Pillow Shams With Welting: This design is popular for those people who are after a classic look.

Flanged Pillow Shams: Flanged pillow shams are easy to sew and show off a simple, yet refined style to your bedding.

Ruffled Pillow Shams: For a more feminine, yet romantic style, try a new look by using ruffled pillow shams.
