This Vintage-Inspired Bedroom Staple Is the Only One You’ll Ever Need (It Goes With Everything!)

Crisp, all-white bedding will always have a timeless, luxurious appeal, but opting for more colorful or patterned linens can instantly personalize any bedroom. Even layering different designs — like striped sheets set against a floral bedspread — gives you tons of leeway to experiment stylistically. Not sure where to start, though? There’s one vintage-inspired duvet cover you need to see that’s relatively neutral but still the perfect foundation for converting your bed into a focal point. 

Enter Lulu and Georgia’s tiger-printed duvet cover. Created in partnership with Sarah Sherman Samuel, this textile features dark animal motifs (drawn by the designer’s son!) on a 100% hemp blanket. The high-contrast design looks sophisticated but still skews slightly playful, and you can choose to shop the duvet cover à la carte or in a set with matching pillow shams.

Samuel recently served as an expert panelist for Apartment Therapy’s first-ever Small/Cool Design Awards, where she nominated this bedding as one of the best textiles. “I chose this bedding for the combination of the animal print and the material itself,” she explains. “We used hemp, which feels like a soft washed linen but is a sustainable fabric that is also even more durable.” 

Not only is this duvet cover made to last, but it’s also incredibly comfortable and can easily evolve with your design style, especially from season to season. Keep things warm and neutral — à la Samuel’s signature laid-back aesthetic — with plain white sheets and chocolate brown throw pillows, or lean into muted shades like burgundy, mustard, or blue-gray for complementary pops of color (although really, anything goes as an accent here!).

This Lulu and Georgia hemp duvet cover comes in full/queen and king/California king sizes starting at $268, but it’s currently on sale for $201 during Black Friday. Yes, it’s a little on the expensive side, but you’re guaranteed a designer-approved style that’s high-quality, cozy, and versatile. Even if you’re not someone who gravitates toward patterned bedding, you’ll never want to take this off!
