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.

 

 

 

TIP....

Not using a dust ruffle with your bedspread can create an entirely different look.

A more European, modern, spacious look...

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.

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.
