Luxurious duvet set
Produced to look like silk, but without the high price tag, this Ellie duvet cover set from eLinens feels luxurious.
Decorated with floral embroidery and applique details, and finished off with a faux silk pintuck pleated trim, the duvet set would like stylish in many a bedroom. Shown here in a warm heather colour, the set is also available in duck egg blue.
The set comes with a duvet cover and two pillowcases (one for single beds) and it’s made from easy care poly cotton fabric.
Prices for the Catherine Lansfield Ellie duvet set are reasonable, with a double costing £25.97 and a king size £32.97 from eLinens.
French-style bed
I love antique furniture, but can’t always afford to buy it for all rooms in my home. This French-style white painted Imogen bedstead is a good alternative to an actual antique bed as it looks the part, but costs less than a real one would.
It’s made from Chinese birch, which has been painted in white, then given an antique-like finish. It has beautiful cabriole legs that raise it off the ground and provide enough room to store all your treasures (or clutter) under the bed.
The Imogen bed is available in a choice of double or king size, with or without a mattress, and is currently reduced in the sale at Feather and Black. It’s been styled really nicely in the picture and the blue and white bedding looks great too!
Country style patchwork quilt
If you love the look of patchwork quilts, but don’t fancy doing all the work yourself, then buying a ready made patchwork quilt is the ideal solution.
I chanced upon this Pip Studio patch duvet a month or so ago, then promptly forgot where I’d seen it. Thankfully, I’ve re-discovered it, on the pages of the Urban Outfitters website.
The reversible patchwork quilt is very country style in appearance and comes with matching patchwork pillows, which finish off the look perfectly. Even though it’s not handmade, the varied selection of different patchwork squares lends a homespun look to it. The duvet is a double size and available as a web exclusive from Urban Outfitters.
Stylish storage jar
This pretty little cut glass storage jar is vintage in style and would loook lovely used in a bedroom or bathroom. You could fill it with cotton wall balls, bath salts or hair accessories, or simply use for decorative purposes.
The glass jar has a silver plated brass lid, with a decorative finish. It’s reduced in the sale at Graham and Green, so you could buy it for yourself, or as a present, and fill it up to give as a gift.
Reversible bedlinen
If you’re looking for a fresh new seasonal look for your bedroom, then Zara Home have some gorgeous new bedlinen ideas in stock.
The aptly named Summer collection includes a reversible cotton duvet cover – pink floral print on one side, and polka dots on the reverse – and matching pillowcases.
A number of pieces are available in this pretty pink shade, but if you’re not massively on just pink, it looks great with touches of fresh green (cushions and throw) or a red and white gingham cushion.

Jewellery tree
I’ve been looking for something suitable to hang necklaces on for a while and, whilst I’ve found some possible options, they’ve either been too small or too ridiculously large.
This chrome jewellery tree is a great find. Unlike some of the stands I’ve seen, it looks stylish and it’s functional.
Made by Umbra and designed by Jason Nip, the Bijou jewellery tree is perfect for hanging longer necklaces on, but there’s also room on the lower branches to hang bracelets, earrings or watches. Plus, there’s room at the bottom of the stand to store other bits and pieces too.
All Up and On currently have 25% off the jewellery tree, making it a rather good price.
Feather-filled pillow
How often do you change the pillows on your bed? Some sleep experts suggest we should do so every couple of years, but in general the time has come to change them if they’ve gone all saggy and don’t puff up like they used to.
One good trick to try is folding your pillow in half – if it stays that way without bouncing back into shape, it’s time to invest in a new pillow!
Feather filled pillows are often considered to be a luxury item, compared to hollowfibre pillows, but M&S do a good Outstanding Value range of duck feather pillows.
They’re even better value at the moment, as you can currently buy two duck feather pillows for £9.50 (the usual price for one pillow is £6).
Recycled, handmade blanket
Every self-respecting cosy home needs a snuggly blanket or two – especially in our current weather!
Crochet patchwork blankets are making a comeback and if you don’t have the skills to make your own, take to thrifting from car boots or Ebay, or snap up one of these recycled blankets from moozlehome at NotOnTheHighStreet.
Every blanket is unique, made from recycled yarn and they come in a variety of colourways including mixed, white and brights for £45.
Patchwork garden quilt
Anthropologie is the new ‘it’ store in the UK, thanks to the American homewares emporium opening a branch in London’s Regent Street.
Priced so that you want it to last forever and ever is this garden quilt that draws on the current trend for patchwork with twisted rosettes stitched on to grey voile.
Brace yourselves folks, the garden quilt is £318.71 (VAT not included) here.
