Cal King Bedspread
Focal Point – California King
Bedspread The bed is unarguably the centerpiece in the
bedroom, both for function and aesthetics. It is the
ultimate resting place for a much-needed rest after a
busy and oftentimes stressful day.
Bed and bedspread sizes vary around the world,
but in the U.S., there are three basic sizes: twin size,
queen size, and king size. The king size is further
categorized into the standard king also known as Eastern
and the California king also known as Western. A standard
king bed is four inches wider and usually measures 76
inches by 80 inches.
A California king bed, on the other hand,
is four inches longer and usually measures 72 inches by
84 inches. A California king bed necessarily needs a
California king bedspread to cover it.

A bedspread is a bed cover with sides that fall
to the floor and does not always require a bed skirt. It
is the crowning glory of the bed and the bedroom in
general. Bedspreads can be made from a diversity of
materials that include cotton, flannel, silk, satin,
wool, or polyester. They come in different colors and
shades as well as a variety of designs and accessories.
They can be tailored to suit the owners' preferences or
bought directly from stores for immediate use. In the
U.S, and yes, particularly in California, most homeowners
lean more toward California king bedspreads because they
can easily fit into a standard king bed. Moreover, its
occupants can have the luxury to move from corner to
corner and still feel comfortable.
Being the central focal point of your bedroom,
you should carefully decide the style of your California
king bedspread. Should it be Victorian, contemporary,
modern, traditional, or Asian inspired? It is wise to
bear in mind that the style you choose should continue
from the general motif of the rest of your
house.
When choosing the right design and color of
your bedspread, you have only yourself (and your partner,
if any) to please because after all, you are your most
valued client. As to function, you may want to choose a
material that you are most comfortable with depending on
the prevailing climate and specific season of the year.
Lighter materials are best for warm climates and thicker
materials are advisable during cold and wet seasons. For
instance, light cotton fabrics are ideal during summer
while heavily quilted bedspreads are perfect in the winter
time.
The overall effect of the design and color
of your bedspread should be in conformity with the
general theme of your bedroom. Your choices can vary from
intricate patchworks to minimalistic designs or from
solid patterns to elaborate floral or geometric
inspirations depending on what appeals to you most. To
enhance the over-all look of your California king
bedspread, you may want to add matching accents like
throw pillows, a small picture frame on the wall, a tiny
vase on the coffee table, or even your
draperies.
Having chosen the perfect style, design, and
color of your California king bedspread, you can now
eagerly look forward to coming home each day knowing an
enticing bed awaits you after a hard day's
work.
