LOVING LINEN: LINEN BEDDING

November 17, 2017 Melanie Feely

Washed Linen Bedding

The washed Linen Bedding in the picture above is from Cox and Cox in Vintage Rose, who incidentally have a weekend event with 25% off until Sunday.

I also love this one below from Cox and Cox in Soft Grey.

Rockett St George have introduced a duluxe collection of bedding into their range, which look luxuriously gorgeous, see this one, Lisbon Soft Linen Duvet Cover, Silver Grey.

Love this too, Lisbon Soft Linen Duvet Cover, Rose Pink. Really love the mix of the Rose Pink and Charcoal, really cool. Love.

Piglet in bed have got it covered with their Bedtime Bundles.

The Linen Works, I really like this Parisian Blue number. This looks super cosy.

So what do you think? I happen to love the rawness of it and the fact it can look slightly rough around the edges and a little creased but I do appreciate it may not be everyones cup of tea.

QUICK FIX AUTUMN UPDATES FOR YOUR HOME

EASY AUTUMNAL UPDATES FOR YOUR HOME

CANDLES

Incidently whilst in M and S I came across these Alphabet Candles, £8. How fab are these, great as a little gift too.

This candle by Diptyque, injects not just an amazing classic Tubéreuse scent but comes in a fabulously autumnal shade!! Diptyque Paris, Tubéreuse Rouge , £60.

REAL FIRE

Below Wood Burning Stove from Chesneys.

LAYER

This Cox and Cox, Soft Wool Throw - Blue French Stripe £65.00. Would be great for starters. Thank you.

SWITCHING BEDDING

The Linen Works, Parisian Blue

H&M do some washed Linen bedding to and also try Piglet in bed.

Zara home also do some fab looking options see below image from Zara for inspiration great place to get your extra layering too at a reasonable price.

I think with just a few little home comforts it can really make a difference in making your home feel more autumnal. I have already dragged out all our faux fur throws and woolen blankets.

SAFETY FIRST

Make sure your fire is in good working order and please make sure you have appropriate safety precautions in place for the candles and fires. Smoke alarms and Carbon Monoxide alarms are ESSENTIAL!!

TOP 5 CHILDRENS DESKS

Already dreading the homework meltdowns?

This Studio Set from Zara Home is super cute for little ones. Zara Studio Set £119.

And here it is in situ.

My daughter would absolutely love this, however I think she would like it more for art and crafts than actual homework so probably wouldn't solve my problem, nonetheless this looks like a fab desk and it is adjustable too so would grow with your child. Flexa, White Adjustable Children's Desk, from Nubie £365.

These ones from Nubie, look gorgeous and super practical for girls too doubling up as a dressing table and even has storage! Described as a modern take on the lift up lift desk. It also comes in a massive range of colours . Nubie, Children's Secret Desk by Nidi, £495.00

Also loving this one although the price tag is pretty eye-watering and this one too also from Nubie.

If you are looking for something that is stylish but not as expensive, then check out this from George Home which is such a bargain it will probably fly out the door.

And

If you are more of a tradionalist check out these Children's Vintage French School Desk from Blue Ticking £110.

This below would be great for a boys room. Maison du Monde Industrial Desk, £299.99.

Here are some other industrial style desks which are great options, this one from Room to Grow which is currently in the sale and this one too.
