Travelling - Reviewing Bedding 09/12/14

I reviewed Bedding and gave my personal opinion on whether I liked/disliked the selection of bedding that I found based on Travelling.

1, BHS - Postcard bedding

This is one of my favourite bedding sets. It has a beautiful patchwork style and I personally really admire patchwork and the detail and time that goes into it. It has on it an Eiffel Tower, Postcards, Biycle, Stamps, Butterflies, Birds and the Union Flag.

 It has a white background with coloured items on it. The colour on it isn't too much, just the right amount. Very floral, nature style. It has a western idyllic european style to it. There is a lot going on and it is very busy with different items but not too much, just the right amount.

2. BHS - Hot Air Balloon Bedding Set

The colours are very vibrant and it has a lovely detailing. The cover makes me dream of travel, take me to far away places in my sleep. White background with darker colours on top.

Very floral. Very detailed, it is truly beautiful. The London map on the background in grey blends into the background.


3, BHS - Bedding Explorer Bedding Set

Has a hot air ballooe world, ship, bike, luggage tickets and compass with a map of the world in the background. Beautiful print design! Colonial map of the world - old map before modern cartography. A lot of countries on the map would not currently exist as it would pre date modern boundaries.

Neutral, old colours and old feel to it. Green, orange and yellow are very positive, pale colours. The inner cover has luggage tickets. Lovely, very detailed and good quality.


4. BHS - Bedding Highway Set

Brown and white - very mono coloured. Personally think this bedding doesn't 'brighten up the room like they say in the description'. Quite dull - bit plain. Would look nice if it had more colour.

Contains street signs, traffic policeman, old cards and bicycles with a brick wall background. The brick background in grey is nice but the print needs to have some more colour or something more exciting going on.


5. BHS - Bedding Highway Voyage Set

Very american style to it, american 1960's in particular. Collage of photographs - camper vans and old cars. Holiday feel to it - camping feel. Has a wood panel background. Quirky style, with cool photographs of old cars and bulldog clips.



6. BHS - Cyclist Bedding Set

Lovely bicycle print repeated across it. Patchwork/collage feel to it. Different style bicycles, up close and far away views, good variety. Shades of bright red, brown, white, blue and black colours.

Fab bedding! Perfect for any bicycle lover. The reverse side has a penny farthing (old victorian bike) with vintage style background. Lovely quality! Illustrative prints of bicycles through the ages (old and new), perfect for any vintage lover!


7. Cath kidston - London Buses Duvet Set

Bold red london buses printed on it. Reversible duvet cover with polka dots.. Brightens up the room with the bold red and sky blue. London buses print has an arty style to it. Expensive for what it is, overpriced as the quality isn't as good as BHS ones, but the price is for the designer, not for the quality.

I wouldn't buy it for myself. Too plain, not enough colour. It is something that I would give to a child or teenager. 


8. Argos - London Tube Map Bedding Set

Slighty out of date map but nice image of tube map. Stripey, colourful reverse side. Great for boys (kids). Great for anyone who likes london. Handy map for route planning.

Would not like this myself as it is very plain and a map with lots of writing on it wouldn't be something that looked pretty and nice to look at before going to bed.


9. Palmers Store - Mini Car Duvet Cover Set

Fun mini design in blue, yellow, red and green. Ideal for teenagers - boys in particular. Simple yet cool design. Lovely bright colours with a pop art style.

10. Palmers Store - Vegas Duvet Cover Set

Funky duvet cover. Vibrant words all over it - Welcome, Showtime, Las Vegas.Very bright and colourful, it has a lot going on. Ideal for any party vegas lover.

Not my style as I prefer bedding to have images or a pattern and not just words.




11. Palmers Store - Map Duvet Cover Set

Very detailed london map - bright, informative, fun, and knowledgeable.  It has a very fun and quirky style. Shows londons busy city streets, parks, and attractions. Good for teenagers finding there way around london city centre.


12. Palmers Department Store - Campervan Duvet Cover Set

Funky design! Light tonal colours but not too bright. Lovely shades of red, blue and green. Vintage style. Fun, retro camper van and scooter design. Coordinating stripe bordering that goes well.\


13. Palmers Department Store - Cath Kidston Train Duvet Cover Set

Bold and colourful train design. Fun design full of different types of trains, a broad range of different trains making it more exciting and knowledgeable. Lovely detail on trains. Perfect for any train lover or children. Trains sat on a cream background.


I prefer this one to the other Cath Kidston design with London buses. It has more colour and more detail.

14. Palmers Department Store - Speedway Duvet Cover Set 

Perfect for any formula 1 racing lover. Ideal for boys/men. Has a colourful sports cars design on the front with a red numbered reverse side. Patchwork style which looks really attractive. Fun, bright colours! Different style of cars making it exciting!


15. BHS - Sketchy Paris Bedding Set

Really pretty design. Paris design - Eiffel Tower, scenes of Paris and frensh places. Grey on one sde and pink on the reverse, this is ideal if you aren't a fan of pink. Very chic and would compliment any bedroom.



16. Houzz - Duvet Cover Twill - Portofino

Printed image of Portofino in Italy. Dye sublimation printing. lovely water colour painting design. Beautiful image. The colours all blend well together.

17. John Lewis - Orla Keily Boats Duvet Cover Set

Simple design. Basic outline of boats in green, red, yellow and grey on a cream background. Would look better if more was going on, it comes across as a bit plain and boring. Would look better with a more fun and colourful background; the design isn't too complicated so it would look good and not too busy if it had a more exciting background instead of just plain white. It seems they played it safe by doing a plain background incase it made it look too much but I believe it would of looked stronger and be a much better design. By being simple and basic it looks more like a children's bedding.
