There are some things in life that you can’t compromise on, and bed linen comes at the top of that list. Is there any greater pleasure that climbing into a fresh bed? I don’t think so.
I think that’s why finding new bed linen is so hard. Do you want to go for a simple crisp white cotton, or make a statement with a bold pattern? I’ve lined up a few options to help you decide.
Statement Bedding
Bed linen often fades into the background. However, if you’re someone with more maximalist tendencies, you may recognise the bed as a landscape for creativity and fun! And if you know me, any excuse to play with pattern and colour is an opportunity never to be missed!
If you still need convincing, take a look at the bedroom of Leah Lane at her stunning home Mulberry House. Have you ever seen a more beautiful bedscape? I doubt it.
So maximalists, take your pick from these GORGEOUS, playful, patterned, and frilled bed linens…
Piglet In A Bed Stripes
Say it with me, no room is complete without a stripe! And Piglet In A Bed know this better than anyone. Their ‘Plum Wine Amberley Stripe Linen/Cotton Blend Duvet Cover’ is the perfect option for someone who wants to incorporate pattern without going full floral. And as we go into autumn, you can never go wrong with a cosy wine red/pink combo!
Candy Cane Frills
Still keeping the stripe theme but paring it back just a touch, I’m in LOVE with this option from Sukun Home. I’m always banging on about an unexpected pop of red, it works with every colour scheme and adds effortless charm and personality. Plus, the little frills have a feminine touch that is so beautiful.
Pretty Gingham
I love looking to H&M Home for affordable bed linen options. And this pretty pink gingham is so, so lovely. It comes in a rainbow of colours too, so you’ll be sure to find one that fits into your bedroom scheme.
Classical Toile


A classical and endless feminine print, this Blue Toile Duvet Set from Urban Outfitters is beautiful. Pare with two white or pale blue back cushions and layer with a soft and creamy throw - it’s giving coastal granddaughter elegance.
A gorgeous valance
Never forget the power of a bed valance! Alice Palmer know this best, channelling gorgeous granny chic with this stunning ‘Poppy Papaya Cotton Ruffle Bed Valance’.
And if you’re looking for something a tad more affordable, etsy have some amazing options too, like this one from DejavuLinen:
Beautiful bed quilts
And if bold bed linen still scares you, a patterned bed quilt that you can switch out whenever your heart desires is a great option!
I love SoSouk for their block print patterns. Like the ‘Blue and Green Trellis’ above. Or this ‘Palm Tree Print’ too:
More Minimalist (But Still Cool)
If you’re still sitting on the fence and aren’t convinced to go all the way pattern wise, here are some more minimalist (but still cool) options that add a touch of fun without being overpowering.
Loopy lining
I love this Maeve Looped Organic Percale Duvet Cover. 100% pure white cotton with a playful edge detail to add some interest.
Soft frills


How beautiful is this Frill-trimmed duvet bedding from H&M? I love the soft and fluffy frills that trim the linen, so delicate and feminie.
Dusty Pink Frills
Some more frills in a soft pink, this Sukun Home Provence Bedding has been on my wishlist for a LONG time. It was sold out for ages but is not back and still as beautiful as ever.
Scalloped Edges
Another firm favourite of mine from Rebecca Udall, the Annabelle Scalloped Bed Linen. As you can see in the picture, it works beautifully with a patterned headboard and adds a gentle colourful touch to your bed.
More Ruffles!
Urban Outfitters offer you some more ruffles at a more affordable price point, just as gorgeous as the Sukun Home one, just a little more achievable: Washed White Ruffle Duvet.
I hope you found something to inspire you! See you next time! xoxo
