What Is a Ditsy Print, and Why Is It Everywhere?
The latest bedding trend has me longing for spring. Nostalgic micro florals, also known as “ditsy prints,” are everywhere in the bedding world. But what exactly is a “ditsy print,” you ask? It’s most often florals, though it could be another small-scale motif, and it’s always tiny and randomly scattered (rather than gridded or linear). A classic example is a “Liberty print,” aka the small-scale florals from Liberty of London). Typically, these patterns pop up most often for bedding, but you can also find them on textiles like throw pillows, curtains, and table linens.
So why are ditsy prints trending now? This is definitely a case of the home decor world following suit after a fashion trend. Mini florals have trickled down from the printed prairie dresses that were hot for the last few years. Now, you can have your pick of mini prints from almost all of the major brands; here are 10 of my favorite ditsy picks for your bed.
