A restful setting can improve peace of mind and sleep. Interior designer Katie Laughridge shares three textile designs that can help you outfit your bed to create a tranquil and stylish bedscape.


Having just come back from a textiles market, I’m feeling freshly inspired. Bedding is such a fun way to play with patterns and can allow us to make a statement in a relatively small space. Plus, you spend a third of your life in bed – it should be just as fabulous as any other space in your home! I for one want a bed I can dive into.

With this freshly inspired feeling, I thought it was the perfect time to post a bedding roundup!

Three stylish bedscapes

The Tranquil Tiger

This stunning bedscape showcases the art of pattern mixing and matching, demonstrating how different textures and prints can harmoniously come together to create a cohesive and visually appealing design. At the heart of this ensemble is the striking blue tiger fabric, Tigris Denim, which serves as the focal point and sets the tone for the entire bedding arrangement.

Pretty Pansies All In a Row

At the heart of this charming bedscape lies a delightful quilt. Reminiscent of handblocked patterns, the quilted throw features a playful array of painted flowers in cheerful corals, baby blues, and mustard yellows, meticulously arranged in sweet, neat rows. Crafted from rayon, these quilts offer a sumptuously soft texture that beckons you to snuggle up and enjoy its cozy embrace.

An Oasis of Neutrals

This stylish bedscape creates a serene oasis with its soft wash of neutrals, greens, and blues. The hero fabric of the pillow selection, an Asian toile with palm trees, evokes a British colonial vibe through our styling choices, lending a stately elegance to the room. This look is perfect for those who appreciate refined, timeless design elements.

The foundational elements of white and camel in this bedding design provide a versatile canvas that can mix with a vast array of fabrics. Crisp white pillows anchor the collection, serving as perfect foundational pieces for those who love to experiment with their decor. This way, the remaining pillows can be easily swapped to refresh the look and feel of the space, allowing for endless creative possibilities.
