This summer the homeware stores have been dominated by pastel shades. But rather than sugary sweet pastel tones, it's more about a muted and sophisticated take on the colour palette.
From dusky blue, to sage green and lemon yellow, these shades are a way to infuse colour into your home, without overpowering the space, and one pastel-like shade we're super invested in is dusty rose.
The understated shade of pink brings instant warmth and richness to any room you place it in and Matalan has just the bedding set to incorporate dusty rose into your home.
Starting at £32 for a double sized set, which includes two matching pillowcases and duvet cover, this dusty rose stitched stripe set is ideal for bringing a shade of pink into your bedroom.
See the set here:
Due to the subtlety of the pink shade it will work with a variety of existing bedroom styles, and will pair especially well with a light wooden bed frame, or cream boucle headboard. You can also pair it with a variety of cushion shades, from green to blue, to creams and browns.
The subtle stripe stitching adds texture and helps to make the bedding set look far more expensive than it's £32 price tag. It's also available in king and super king sizes.
Made from a combination of cotton and polyester the bedding is set to give you a decent night's sleep (ideal in this warm weather) and it's easy to machine wash.
You could look to do a matching dusty rose fitted sheet underneath, but right now we're really enjoying doing a different but complimentary tone fitted sheet, such as this brown and ecru stripe fitted sheet from Matalan, which will add extra interest to your bed set up.
Or you can lean into the pastel shade look and pair it with a sage green or lemon yellow sheet, for a super colourful but muted look.
