As much as I love spooky season, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to deck out my apartment for the holidays. From sparkly accents to soft and snuggly bedding, I’ll be sprinkling my home with all things cheerful and cozy in time for the happiest season. And if you’re fixing to do the same, you’ll want to check out Target, because the retailer’s holiday offerings are as festive and stylish as ever — and sure to sell quickly. Case in point: these cute Matelasse Quilt Sets by Threshold. 

The 1800s-inspired quilt sets were a huge hit online when they hit Target shelves last year, and these new designs are somehow even better. My advice? Order yours before they go viral again. Here’s why. 

What Is the Threshold Holiday Matelasse Quilt Set? 

The three-piece set includes the quilt and two shams, in a soft and puffy cotton jacquard with a polyester fill. It’s midweight and just the right amount of cozy, everything that you want as the weather cools down (but could easily be used beyond the season, too). The real star of the show, though, are the gorgeous matelassé designs. The quilting technique dates as far back as 1800 in Marseilles, France, and gives the quilts their vintage charm. 

Why We’re into Them 

The holiday quilts are the festive flourish my bedroom has been missing. They’re available in adorable peppermint, pine tree, and snowflake motifs, so there’s a design for every holiday vibe. The gorgeous matelassé finish looks handmade, like a treasured family hand-me-down or something you’d find in a stylish bed and breakfast, no small feat given the budget-friendly price. Between the cheerful seasonal patterns and the antique look, the quilts are a timeless accent you’ll bring out every year. 

The bonus? The cotton quilts are delightfully easy-care despite their handcrafted appearance. Just toss them in the washing machine for easy upkeep.
