Covering the size of "euro"

The atmosphere of the home of the modern man is of great importance. It is impossible to imagine a house in which there is no soft, beautiful and pleasant to the body bedspread that can give a room comfort and ennoble a sleeping place. A variety of models of such accessories entails the problem of choice, and it is not always clear what constitutes a cover of the “euro” size, because few people know that this is not one specific size.

Bedspread - a functional element of the decor bedroom, living room, nursery or kitchen. This product protects furniture upholstery that is difficult to clean, saving it from abrasion, dirt, maintaining attractive appearance and creating a home-like atmosphere.

The “euro” cover is a cape for modern furniture with certain parameters set as world standards for each manufacturer. This product is subordinate to specific dimensions, due to which the bed or sofa look neat. Often the size of the cloak repeat the parameters of blankets listed in the table of the European standard of pastel linen.

The range of euro-sized bedspreads is varied. Models can be made of different materials, differ in style, thickness and texture. Depending on the selected raw materials, it can be textile quilted models with various finishes or soft plush blankets without decor, which are desirable today in every home.

Euro covers can be monotonous, made in a noble color palette of muted tones. They look beautifully decorated with a low-key print of floral or floral themes, bright geometric shapes, creative abstraction, stars and other patterns. The choice of a theme is subject to the general idea of ​​design, often emphasizing its originality.

Such products are made not only in the mass way.A special line of euro-sized bedspreads is made up of models of skilled craftswomen: often masterpieces by experienced needlewomen make a worthy competition to elite rugs and capes. Such products are always unique, and due to their exclusivity, they are appropriate as a room accent.

According to the material of manufacture accessories Euro-size are made from:

• textiles;
• yarn;
• furs.

They can be performed using special and available tools, representing a solid blanket, cloak, or a model of individual fragments fastened together (for example, a plaid made of pompons or a patchwork version, made using patchwork technique).

Covers the size of "euro" - the special parameters of each existing line. The size is divided into two types: European standard and Euromax. The first type includes traditional parameters. The second is due to the emergence of more spacious furniture, so it is a variation of the first and is characterized by large dimensions, covering the entire area of ​​the sleeping bed with an exact stock of each side.

The second products are convenient in that they always support the neat look of the bed, eliminate the need for correcting the crumpled linen and in most cases do not need ironing.

Due to their size, these models are multifunctional and can be:

• soft summer blanket;
• stylish furniture cover;
• litter during outdoor recreation;
• home cocoon sweater.

The classic “euro” size is considered to be a model of a bedspread with a length and width of 200 by 220 cm. The Euromax is 220 by 240 and 220 by 260 cm. Such dimensions are called royal or King size. However, due to the fact that each manufacturer has its own standard furniture, which have small discrepancies, the factories that produce bedspreads and blankets on the beds (sofas) adapt to each model, offering a lot of variations with dimensions. Therefore, today it is more often possible to hear not the “euro-size blanket”, but the “euro-size bedspread”. It turns out that one medium size can fit several bed dimensions, which is very convenient and excludes material handling, laying folds or assemblies.

The entire range of covers produced is divided into several varieties:

• Baby - capes on a children's bed, a small sofa or a chair, which are a mini bedspread with a length and width of 100 x 140 cm;
• Single beds - options for a single bed, the parameters of which are 90 x 200, 100 x 200, 120 x 200 cm;
• One and a half sleeping - the classic lorry with dimensions of 160 x 220, 200 x 160, 140 x 200, 150 x 200, 170 x 240, 180 x 220, 180 x 200, 170 x 210, 140 x 210 cm;
• Double beds - maxipoatings, styles of large sizes with a length and width of 240 x 260, 230 x 250, 220 x 240, 200 x 220, 200 x 240, 200 x 200, 240 x 240, 260 x 260, 260 x 280, 280 x 280, 250 x 250 cm, the dimensions of which allow you to cover the furniture not only from above, but also completely hide it from all sides.

Since there is no single “Euro” size, and the length can vary from 180 to 200 cm in width, from 200 to 230 cm in length, the selection of size requires knowledge of the exact parameters of the bed. In order for the blanket to hang beautifully on each side, you need to add 20 cm to the length and width of the bed (for each face, except for the one with a back or a stop).

Measuring the length and width of the bed, we must not forget about its height: the cape on the bed should be lowered to the floor. Ideally, it looks good, closing the legs and sides of the furniture, ending one or two centimeters to the floor level.

In a small room, volume covers of the king size are out of place.: it will increase the effect of a minimum of space. This applies not only to the size, but also to the material of the cape.

Covers of the size of "euro" have a lot of advantages:

• depending on the material differ in weight and thickness;
• can be a separate accessory or part of a set (with decorative pillowcases, curtains, bedside rug);
• based on the cost of material and size differ in different prices;
• have a huge range of models for every taste;
• in most cases they are not burdensome to care and allow washing, ironing and cleaning;

• manufactured in a mass or individual way to order, taking into account the chosen size and stylistic wishes of the client;
• can be an excellent purchase for yourself or a gift close to the celebration (household gift is always welcome, it will not remain unclaimed);
• almost always have a good-looking appearance;
• models from natural materials (wool, cotton, bamboo) have healthy properties and environmental friendliness;
• almost all models absorb moisture well and have excellent air exchange;
• have a hypoallergenic type of raw material (except for wool) and high performance, are distinguished by a long service life.

Unfortunately, these covers have a few drawbacks. Sometimes the material of the bedspread after washing can change its structure, becoming smaller in size. In addition, not every composition of the raw materials after washing looks as beautiful as at the time of purchase. Fur pile usually shrinks, even if the water temperature does not exceed 40 degrees, since the distance between the hollow fibers is reduced.

Products made of synthetics are able to accumulate static electricity, which is accompanied by unpleasant sensations (discharge and “stickiness” of the sheet to the body).

When buying euro-sized covers, there are a few factors to consider:

• susceptibility to allergies. The large size of the cloth can provoke a terrible irritation of the skin in allergic people;
• seasonality of the material. Fur models are able to create the warmth of space, but for the summer season more airy and light options are preferable;

• number of blankets.One model is not enough, because while the accessory is in cleaning, the bed needs to be covered with something);
• shade of canvas. In a room with less lighting, the light shades of the color palette are relevant; indoors, sunlit, bright and even dark capes look good;
• matching size bedspreads and beds. The lack of size will spoil the overall picture of not only furniture, but also the room as a whole.
