Winter bed linen: The latest looks for layering

There’s no denying that winter is with us with plummeting temperatures seen across Australia in the last couple of weeks. So, there couldn’t be a more perfect time to bring you our edit of the latest winter bed linen including quilts and blankets that are perfect for cold weather layering.

Adairs x Mark Tuckey: “I never set out to have a luxury brand, it just went that way because I wanted to make quality product. It’s always been a dream that one day we could diversify and make it available to more people,” says Mark Tuckey of collaborations with Adairs. And while the latest drop is filled with lots of gorgeous furniture and homewares items, it’s the bedding that caught our eye. Designed with sustainability in mind, using hemp and organic cotton chambray, the range is classic without being boring, and features gorgeous earthy colours paired with light neutral tones and navy.

As for hemp, it’s one of the most environmentally friendly plants available. Its natural insulating and wicking properties keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. Grown without pesticides, it requires little water and prevents soil erosion with its strong network of roots. From $79.99.

Freedom: The latest Freedom bed linen features natural fabrics and lush textures ideal for layering and cocooning throughout winter. There’s jacquard, linen, bamboo, cotton, Turkish flannelette and Lyocel – a luxe blended linen and Tencel. “Our bed linen is effortlessly timeless; it’s all about unique fabrications instead of prints that swiftly become dated,” says Freedom head of homewares Christie Maartensz.

The brand has identified the coverlet as a key winter bedding trend, due to its flexibility and layering properties. “The coverlet is a great layering option on top of a quilt cover but it can also be double-folded as a runner on the bed. Then in the summer months, coverlets can be simply layered with a flat sheet,” says Christie. From $150.

Hemp Gallery Australia: Once having existed more on the edges, hemp products have been in the spotlight of late and are becoming more and more mainstream. And you an understand why when you look at its environmentally sound properties, as outlined above. Created by a mother daughter duo, Hemp Gallery Australia produces a range of beautiful bed linen crafted from hemp including sheets, quilt covers and pillow cases.

L&M Home: A go-to brand for classic, stylish bedding, the latest range of blankets and throws from L&M Home are rather gorgeous and ideal for layering too. A standout from the collection, the Empire throw is hand loomed from wool and silk and features a beautiful scalloped design. From $194.

The Empire throw is available in blue and earth colour ways

Mark Tuckey x Adairs: The latest designer collab

I can’t remember Adairs ever collaborating with a male designer (can you?) which is what makes its latest partnership with renowned Australian furniture designer Mark Tuckey all the more special. A more masculine foray for the home brand, the collection is brimming with the designer’s stylishly simple furniture staples alongside earthy bed linen, soft furnishings and homewares.

The collection’s autumnal colour palette features slate grey, deep navy and burnt orange and there’s plenty of natural fibres with linen yarn and organic cotton featured too. The collection is a fabulous way to buy into the Mark Tuckey brand without breaking the bank.

The furniture line-up includes a headboard and bedside table featuring a simple slat design crafted from solid European oak. The Boston shelving is a collection highlight; it’s beautiful in its simplicity and, from the bedroom to the lounge room, would have multiple uses.

Accessories include a gorgeous table light (available in white or black) and the ‘Jackson’ pot which features Mark’s signature hourglass design shape. There’s also the ‘Byron’ woven basket which has a striking linear design; it’s available in satin black or a natural rattan finish.

The ‘Horizon’ canvas comes in two colour ways (blue or terracotta) and, housed in tinted concrete containers, the collection also includes stylish diffusers and candles with driftwood and sandalwood scents.

The soft furnishings are a collection highlight; there’s a five-colour towel collection, two vintage-look throw styles, gorgeous washed 100 per cent washed linen cushions and a wool blanket made from the finest Australian lambs’ wool.

The collection also includes a lovely kids range including polka dotted organic bedlinen (made from soft organic cotton), with oatmeal and clay tones on the reverse. Two cushion designs complement the children’s bedding – there’s a cute bunny or sleeping lion with chunky tassel mane. Printed storage baskets and square wall prints finish the look.
