Some things are classics such as a snowy white matelasse bedspread or a dreamy chenille bedspread. Bedspreads wax and wane in terms of trendy décor styles but the reality is that a good quality bedspread is always in fashion.
If you’ve ever stayed in a better bed and breakfast or just looked at brochures of quaint country inns you’ve no doubt noticed the classic bedding – quilts, pretty bedspreads and vintage coverlets grace the beds of these charming inns and gracious lodges, adding character as well as offering welcome comfort.
When outfitting a guest or master suite in your own home you may wish to consider this classic bedding style and shop for a top quality bedspread that will stand the test of time. Something like a traditional matelasse spread may even become a treasured family heirloom destined to be passed from one generation to the next.
Should you normally shop at the mall you will no doubt find the selection of bedspreads to be sparse – most chain stores focus on mass-produced goods to be sold in volume whereas boutiques and smaller stores tend to focus more on specialty items. The problem is that boutiques are few and far between; it’s much easier to bring the selection to your door by using the power of the internet to shop online.
Take a look at the major bed and bath store websites where you will find a large selection of bedspreads including some spectacular William and Mary matelasse bedspreads inspired by the textile collections at Colonial Williamsburg.
