There are two types of interior people in this world: maximalists, who love bold, bright colours and clashing patterns, and minimalists, who search for sleek, calming earth tones and live for the Scandi-style aesthetic. If you belong to the latter camp (and are looking for some bedroom-refresh inspiration), you'll want to keep reading. Because we have just found the bedding of *dreams.* Honestly, it's giving luxe Alpine hotel vibes. So much so, that you'd forgive yourself for expecting mountain views and chalets when opening your curtains in the morning.
But back to reality for a sec, as you don't need to Euro summer your way to the Alps to achieve this interiors look. You literally need to get yourself to Matalan — whether that's physically or online. A moment of appreciation for Matalan for a sec. The beloved retailer has been churning out the dreamiest of homeware in recent times, from this cottagecore striped cushion to this rattan storage unit (which, by the way, will look incredible with the bedding set we're about to show you).
Which gets us to exactly that. This timeless beige woven-striped set is perfect for that clean look. It goes perfectly with simple decor, whether that's a Scandi wooden bed frame or original oak floorboards. (And plenty of indoor plants, of course.) But as well as bringing calming spa feels to your bedroom, the bedding also has another (on-trend) trick up its sleeve: it's reversible. Yep, switch between the textured stripes for the ultimate luxury look, or swap to a classic beige cover if you're feeling like something simpler.
For a bedding set that's essentially two-in-one, it won't break the bank either. A double comes in at £37, while a king will set you back £42. Or, if you're lucky enough to be able to starfish in your super king bed, it's still an affordable £47.
It's giving contemporary cosy retreat.
