The fabulous ‘50s are always in style – retro and vintage looks are hot in home décor. Take chenille bedspreads – you may recall seeing them on the twin beds in the Gidget movies or on the Happy Days television show; in fact chenille bedspreads are highly collectible and avidly sought after for their creative and whimsical imagery. Chenille is actually the French word for caterpillar and is also used to describe a particular type of fabric and the specific process by which it is made. Without going into a lengthy manufacturing explanation, the simple result is a fabric which features a tufted fuzzy caterpillar- like effect; this tufting is then laid out in assorted designs and patterns. Most chenille bedspreads in the ‘50s were white with colorful tufting while today’s’ chenille bedspreads are more often one color such as white on white or ecru on ecru.

A good example of a modern chenille bedspread is the Louisa chenille bedspread which features a center medallion with a classic border pattern; the soft chenille bedspread brings vintage charm and a romantic appeal to any bed with the timeless tufted chenille pattern. It’s even possible to find coordinating pillow shams, toss pillows and matching window valances designed to coordinate perfectly to create a dreamy retreat into another era.
