Zandra Rhodes bed linen for Ashley Wilde

Zandra Rhodes bed linen

Zandra Rhodes has been a busy lady. So far this year we've featured her teepee for Millets and her book covers for Penguin. Now she's collaborated with Ashley Wilde to produce a new range of bed linen.

The collection contains made of three bed linens, adapted from designs in Zandra Rhodes' archive. The selection is quite diverse and reflects the range of her work. It includes the bright acid pops of the Sombrero bed linen pictured above which is based around an enlarged detail from one of her prints. In contrast there's the monochrome pattern of the Cretian Lily or the pretty pastel Paisley Daisy design. 

Double duvets sell for £45.

Maisie duvet set from John Lewis

Maisie duvet

It's got a design that looks like it's straight from the 70s but this Maisie duvet set from John Lewis is actually a contemporary design.

Certainly not the duvet to go for if you want a calm and neutral look in your bedroom, this design has a strong folk influence and uses birds, flowers and other trailing plants to create its distinctive pattern. The retro feel is enhanced by the blue and green against white colour scheme. 

The duvet cover costs between £35 to £65 depending on size while pillow cases are £15 to £18.

Ferm Living retro robot duvet set

Ferm living Robot bedding junior

Ferm Living have gone crazy for robots in their new Spring range, including this duvet set. Yes, a pillow and duvet cover with a repeat pattern of colourful retro robots. Fans of the mechanical creatures might be upset to know it's only available as a single duvet, meaning this design is most probably just for the kids. However, jealousy aside, it would look great in a children's room. 

The range is currently available for pre-order at Cloudberry Living for release later in the month and also includes mini robot cushions for £22 and wall stickers for £39.95. This duvet set costs £85.

Sin in Linen was started by Sandy Glaze with the aim of producing slightly more adventurous bed linen. She's taken her cue from the 1940s and '50s and the collections also include rockabilly-style tattoo and leopard print designs. 

Prices for the Wish You Were Here range start at $29 for a pillow case and go up to $140 for a double duvet set. If you like the design it's also sold on a shower curtain and as a curtain panel.

Kaleido bed set

Kaleidoset_m

Looking for an 80s look for your bed that doesn't involve referencing your favourite TV programme or computer game from that period? Well, the Kaleido bed set is covered with a very simple geometric pattern made up of triangles but its colour scheme of greys, blacks and orange gives it an 80s feel. It's also made from 100% cotton with a suitably grown-up 200 thread count.  

Even better is that it's currently in the sale. Prices now range from £32.50 for a single bed set up to £50 for a super king bed.
