The ‘inspired by nature’ trend never tires, so if you love it, continue to embrace it! This leaf print set from George Home is called Olive Leaves, it’s earthy tones will keep you grounded after a hard day at work and this design is reversible – so you can change it to a two tone green leaf design whenever the mood takes you. 

3. Choose a ditsy floral

This is another reversible set - which quite frankly, we think is a great idea! Inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement, the Hardwick duvet design features classic floral motifs but with a fresh stylised pattern. On one side it’s pale tones of blue and the other is darker, more inky shades. Each side has pops of ochre that you can link to with throws and cushions. 

4. Or pick a beautiful plain

This deep emerald green LUKTJASMIN bedding has a luxurious silky-soft feel with a shimmery lustre due to its lyocell and sustainably grown cotton mix fibres. It comes as part of a set and you can team it with other textures to create a truly tactile experience. Dusky pink and a brighter green look fabulous with this deep tone - have fun experimenting with the colours! 

5. Find a geo print if modern's your thing

If you think that trad florals are overly fussy, and plains are a bit dull, then why not choose a retro-inspired print? They are timeless and will withstand the coming and going of trends. Next Home’s reversible retro petals set has a large geo petal print in yellow and grey on one side, and a subtle grey design on the reverse. Team it with yellow and grey accessories and let the duvet be the star!
