‘Fairytale cottagecore’ bedspread now just £28 makes ‘my bed look beautiful'(Image: Dusk)
Cottagecore is one of 2026’s best-loved homeware trends. It has moved beyond whiter, more sterile looks, towards spaces that feel lived-in, loved, and more personal.
The style is a 360 against sleek minimalism, and is committed to making a home feel like it has a ‘heartbeat’. But you don’t need to re-paint rooms or make expensive and permanent changes to achieve a cottagecore aesthetic.
A simple change in bedding could have a huge impact on your room. At Dusk, there’s one piece of bedding that does just that.

Coming in at £28, the Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread wouldn’t look out of place at a fairytale cottage thanks to its whimsical yet elegant design. Any bed can be transformed into a statement centrepiece with the Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread.
It showcases a mustard base with a contrasting white floral pattern creating a design that’s perfect for spring and summer. The matelassé weave gives it a tactile finish and lightweight feel that’s perfect for layering across the seasons.
Generously sized at 250x260cm, this bedspread is designed to drape beautifully across a king or super king bed, giving full coverage with an elegant drop on either side. On a double bed, expect a more relaxed, oversized look.

Style it over crisp white bedding to let the pattern pop, or complete the look with the matching cushion for an effortlessly put-together finish. Elsewhere, Dunelm’s Pippa Quilted Bedspread is available in the choice of five colours for £45.
Made from a soft fabric that feels cosy and inviting, the bedspread has intricate quilting and delicate embroidery that add a touch of sophistication to your space. Alternatively, Next’s Sage Green Crinkle Textured Bedspread costs between £35 and £65 depending on the size chosen.
The unique crinkle effect adds a touch of sophistication, while the colour can complement any style of bedroom décor. Back at Dusk, the Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread has racked up nothing but glowing reviews.

One satisfied shopper 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.”
“Since moving to my new home and having more rooms to furnish I was delighted to find Dusk,” the third penned. “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.”
One thing to note, however, is the Bordeaux Contrast Floral Matelasse Bedspread is made from a polyester and cotton blend. While this makes it soft, durable and easy to wash, it does have some drawbacks to consider.
This type of fabric can be highly prone to pilling, creating tiny, annoying balls of tangled fuzz on the bedspread over time. It also traps heat in, which is perfect for colder rooms but is not so good during periods of warm weather.
Nevertheless, somebody else loved their latest Dusk purchase, adding: “Just love this. I keep walking in to my bedroom and smiling. I’m so very happy with the throw and cushions.”
Another five=star review reads: “I love this bedspread and it goes well with the colour of my bedroom décor. Was a good price and is good quality.”
