7 Ways to Gently Fold the Bed Cover Overnight

Modern home textiles, in particular, rugs and bedspreads, are not only used for their intended purpose, but also serve as an element of decor for the bed and the bedroom as a whole. Often, these home textiles are made from expensive natural materials and look like an important element of decor.
A blanket made of light volume knitwear or a bedspread made of expensive fabric requires a special place after it has been taken out of bed. In addition, bedspreads can be quite voluminous and take up a lot of space. How and where to put them near the bed so as not to clutter up the space and not violate the harmony of the room’s interior, we will tell in our article.
On the headboard
The easiest way: if the bed has a back, you can hang a neatly folded cover or a plaid on it. At the same time, for example, a beautiful bedspread in the style of “patchwork” or a plaid of rich and bright color will become an additional stylish accent in the interior.
For a banquet
A banquet is often placed at the foot of the bed - a small bench, usually with a soft seat. Sometimes the banquets have armrests. Such furniture not only decorates the interior, but also serves as an additional storage place. It is convenient to place blankets and bedspreads from a bed on a banquet. In addition, you can put an additional blanket on it in the cold season and spare pillows.
Into the compartment inside the bed
Most popular models of modern beds have special storage space for voluminous bedding. This can be one large compartment in the model with a lifting mechanism, or several drawers under the berth. There are models that have a niche behind the headboard. It can be shallow or quite roomy. Niches behind the headboard are suitable for storing bedding in small bedrooms with a minimum of furniture.
In a plastic storage box
If the design of the bed does not provide storage compartments, but it has high legs, then in this case the option with mobile plastic drawers is suitable. You need to choose one or two plastic drawers of suitable size that will fit freely under the bed. Plastic is easy to operate, does not absorb dust, and is easy to clean. A good option would be a box of transparent plastic with a lid and on casters.
On a special hanger
Manufacturers of furniture and furniture accessories offer a variety of hangers for large items, namely blankets, bedspreads and rugs. Hangers can be either floor or hanging, mounted on a wall or even on a door. Floor hangers often have two or three crossbars, which allows you to conveniently and compactly place several voluminous things on it at once. Such a hanger is mobile and does not take up much space, which is important for small rooms and small bedrooms.
In designer furniture
- Decorative chest. This type of designer furniture regularly appears in the interiors of modern designers.The chest fits well into the bedroom interior of most styles. It can be placed at the foot of the bed, and also, if possible, put near the bed or against a free wall. It is perfect for storing bedspreads and rugs, removed from bed before bedtime.
- Bench + stand for linen. There is such a design option, combining a bench for a seat and storage boxes under it. Most often it is located at the foot of the bed and forms a single ensemble with it.
Original use: instead of a blanket or to form a high headboard
When buying bedspreads or blankets for a bed, as well as other bedding, attention is paid not only to their appearance, but also to the materials from which they are made. Preference is given to goods made from natural, environmentally friendly and body-friendly fabrics or yarn.
A soft, fluffy blanket or bedspread can be used directly as a blanket. You don’t even need a duvet cover, but you can use sheets under it. The question of where to remove the bedspread for the night is not relevant in this case.
You can also build a high headboard from a bedspread or blanket: a kind of additional pillow for sleeping. In such a non-trivial way, the question of storing a plaid or bedspread at night is solved. To do this, you need to roll the cover in a dense roller across the width of the bed and place it in the headboard.
A possible opposite option: a blanket or a coverlet is folded into a dense roller and fits in the legs at the far headboard. This method is suitable for large beds or for people of short stature, then the cushion in the legs will not interfere with a comfortable sleep.
All of these options are affordable and compact, with their help you can correctly organize the space even in small bedrooms.
