A £28 bedspread from Dusk is being hailed as a 'fairytale' find that 'looks expensive' and is ideal for spring. The Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread features a mustard base with a contrasting white floral pattern, and shoppers say it transforms their bedroom into a 'beautiful' space.
Affordable Cottagecore Style
If you've been following homeware trends, you'll likely have noticed that 'cottagecore' ranks among this year's most sought-after décor styles. It combines the charm of rural countryside living with understated, authentic pieces that feel cosy and welcoming while remaining contemporary and fresh. Fortunately, achieving this aesthetic doesn't require costly or labour-intensive renovations. Rather than re-wallpapering entire rooms or investing in pricey fixtures, simply swapping out your duvet cover or introducing accessories to the bed can make a significant difference, given the bed is typically the largest piece of furniture.
Design and Quality
The Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread is priced at £28 but appears far more premium thanks to its enchanting yet sophisticated design. The matelassé weave provides a textured finish and lightweight quality that's perfect for layering throughout different seasons. Generously proportioned at 250x260cm, this bedspread is crafted to drape gracefully across a king or super king bed, offering complete coverage with an elegant overhang on both sides. For a double bed, anticipate a more relaxed, generously proportioned aesthetic. Layer it over crisp white bedding to make the pattern stand out, or pair it with the coordinating cushion for an effortlessly polished result.
Customer Reviews
The bedspread has accumulated glowing reviews from shoppers. One delighted customer said: 'Very good quality, lovely colour. Value for money.' A second wrote: 'I have been looking for some time for a colour match for my duvet cover. When I saw this I had no hesitation in buying it. I also purchased the cushion covers to match. My bed looks beautiful.' A third penned: 'Since moving to my new home and having more rooms to furnish I was delighted to find Dusk. Really amazing quality at affordable prices. The bedspread and cushion covers are absolutely stunning. Soft material and so pretty. I'm very happy, thank you.'
Alternatives and Considerations
Meanwhile, Dunelm's Pippa Quilted Bedspread comes in a selection of five shades for £45, featuring intricate quilting and delicate embroidery. Next's Sage Green Crinkle Textured Bedspread is priced between £35 and £65 depending on size, with a distinctive crinkle effect that brings a sophisticated touch. However, it is worth noting that the Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread is crafted from a polyester and cotton blend. While this renders it soft, long-lasting and simple to launder, there are a few potential downsides: this fabric can be quite susceptible to pilling, gradually developing small, irritating balls of tangled fluff across the bedspread's surface. It also retains heat, which is ideal for chillier rooms but less desirable during warmer spells. That said, another satisfied customer raved: 'Just love this. I keep walking in to my bedroom and smiling. I'm so very happy with the throw and cushions.' A further five-star review states: 'I love this bedspread and it goes well with the colour of my bedroom décor. Was a good price and is good quality.'
