As well as stocking up on the cutest planters and vases, Marks and Spencer are gearing up towards the spring season as we speak with their new floral and striped bedding – and we're so here for it.
As we start to leave the January blues behind us, many of us are probably ready for a well-needed pick-me-up and a way to give our homes a mood-boosting makeover. Well, we think that Marks and Spencer's got it in the bag with their new range of homeware in soothing green, mustards and blues to get us through the final push of the January slump.
Our M&S shopping list
Capture the vintage charm with this cotton-rich bedding set, featuring traditional florals and ruffle trims. The print adorns both sides of the covers in a reversible design, allowing you to switch up the look anytime.
This shaped planter is a distinctive way to display your favourite house plants. Designed with a classic glazed finish, made from ceramic and featuring a delicate petal design, it's the sweetest way to bring a pop of colour and interest into any space.
This pure cotton bedding set makes a cheerful addition to any bedroom. Decorated with tufted florals for a textured finish, adding a little flair to what otherwise would be a basic staple.
Display your favourite flower subscriptions in statement style with this elegant vase. Crafted from glass with a delicate ribbed texture, this piece is perfect for creating a statement centre piece for your table.
This bedding can set an eye-catching focal point in your bedroom with the bold stripes of this cotton-blend set. The thick, watercolour-style lines lend an artistic flair ideal for sprucing up any space.
With its on-trend chunky bobble design, this medium-sized planter brings a charming accent to your windowsill. Enhanced with a reactive glaze, this ceramic piece is one that is unique and characterful.
Among the best duvet covers we've definitely seen patterned bedding and reoccurring green and blue hues emerging as a growing trend, and we're for sure a fan.
Interior experts at Hovia had predicted these colours to grow as a home decor trend for 2023. If a pop of colour is what you're after for updating your bedroom ideas, they recommend that we 'stay within the safe lines of mellow and tranquil blues and greens.' And that's exactly what we're seeing in the M&S Home range.
Thomas Høegh Reisenhus, sleep specialist and counsellor at TEMPUR chimes in agreeing that while playing with colour is encouraged, our bedroom colour schemes should ultimately promote relaxation to help us sleep better.
'To achieve this, we need light, airy, soothing tones; dusky pinks, soothing greens, hazy blues, and muted yellows are all ideal,' he explains. 'Patterns that are proven to relax the eye are perfect for bedding, however, such as floral designs and those that feature shapes with curved edges.'
Having spoken to M&S, they revealed that plain bedding sets have actually been performing better than design bedding, with searches up 13% in the last 10 weeks. However, they think this is the case of them being replacements rather than giving into the desire to partake in dopamine decorating.
So, if you're not looking to splurge on the best mattress just yet for a boudoir upgrade, then we think that these bedding sets are the ideal way to update a tired-looking space.
