Makeover your bed this winter – featuring Valentines gift ideas

Oh, I love my bed. My lovely, big cosy bed. The place where I go to snuggle up at the end of a long busy day and just drift away to dream land. My bed probably doesn’t love me though. The poor thing has been stuck wearing the same two or three quilt covers in rotation for the past four years or so. Quilt covers are not just for keeping you snug at bedtime, they can also make your room a bit more colourful, a bit more beautiful and make it even harder for you to resist climbing under the covers and having a snooze.

We have moved house a couple times but our bedroom always feels the same. As the focus point of any bedroom, it doesn’t matter how many pictures you hang up on the wall or how many times you paint, if you have the same old duvet cover sitting on your bed, your room is never going to feel fresh and new. With it being winter time and with Valentines day just around the corner, now is the perfect time to give your bed a makeover. It is time to chuck those old duvet covers in a cupboard, only to emerge when visitors come to stay, and treat yourself and your bed to something beautiful.

By making one change to your bed, you can give your bedroom a quick and easy makeover. If you are a parent I am sure you will agree, time spent in bed is precious so why not make it even more enjoyable by treating yourself to some new, cosy bedding? Here is a selection of quilt covers I love and I think would make a statement in any bedroom..
This Seattle Chocolate double duvet cover is beautiful. This set is from Yorkshire Linen and is currently available for half price at only £30. I love the colours and also the floral embroidery is a pretty extra touch.
You would definitely feel as though you were walking into a different room if you swapped your faded old duvet cover for this eye catching one. This Zambesi inspired duvet set is also from Yorkshire linen and is only £19.99. I usually have fairly plain duvet covers, I would love something with a bit more to it and I just love the little elephants, marching across the bed. 
                            
This teal retro floral bed set is from Next and is £35. This cover caught my eye straight away as living in a house where the walls can not be painted, finding ways to bring colour to a room can be really difficult. Teal just so happens to be  one of my favourite colours. I think the pops of yellow and blue, the flower pattern and the stripes around the edge make this cover really beautiful.
Don’t you just love a fair isle design? I know Christmas has been and gone but it is still winter. This flannelette duvet cover looks so comfy and would make your bed even more inviting on these cold February nights. This is another set from Yorkshire Linen and is only £24.99.
Not only a cold month, February is also the month that happens to be the home of Valentines Day. If you are struggling for gift ideas, why not treat your other half (and yourself and your bed!) to some lovely, romance inspired bedding? Here are 3 duvets sets that will make jumping into bed even more exciting this Valentines Day..
This patchwork Key to my Heart duvet set from Yorkshire Linen is so adorable and is bound to be happily received on Valentines Day. The double cover set is only £14.99.
Why not swap real roses this Valentines Day for a duvet cover covered in roses instead? This duvet set with a modern floral design is only £17.99 from Yorkshire Linen. 
Catherine Lansfield Brushed Hearts Cotton Duvet Set
Valentines Day is all about love after all, so why not show that special someone how you feel and give them this heart covered duvet set? This double duvet cover is from Wayfair and is £32.49. 
I don’t know about you, but I know I would be really happy if my husband gave me any of these for Valentines Day. I don’t need much encouragement to climb into bed in the evening but I know these lovely quilt covers would make it even more inviting.
Is your bed in need of a makeover? Are you like me and guilty of never treating your bed to a new duvet cover every once in a while? Would you be happy if you received bedding for Valentines Day? I would love to know what you think of my choices.

    From a valentines point of view I think I like the last one the best but my favourite has got to be the real one from Next. Our bedroom is papered so we keep our duvet sets quite plain. But I can definitely see how they can be used to accessorise and they are easier to change than wall paper! Thanks for joining us at #BloggerClubUk hope to see you again next week xx

    I love bed linen and there is always room for a new set as I get bored very quickly. I like your selection. They are all nice in their own way. I like the red ones as it could be okay for a master bedroom as my hubby will okay with that. I don't think he will be happy to have any pink ones!! lol Thanks so much for sharing this at #KCACOLS. I'm looking forward to co-hosting with you on Sat 27th Feb!! 🙂 x
