17 Feb, 2025

Versatile layers in every season
Quilts are one of the most versatile bedding layers. Quilts are the perfect weight for sleeping in comfort on warmer nights, for shoulder season layering and for extra warmth during the cooler months. Not only do quilts add practical warmth, but they offer an opportunity to add extra style to your bed. We love a ‘layered bed look’ and quilts are the ideal finishing touch to create this look.
Our Thorndon quilts and pillowcases are made from yarn dyed cotton for an incredibly soft hand feel. In a timeless palette with a classic stripe on the reverse, the quilted design of our Thorndon bedding perfectly captures a relaxed, coastal feel. Read on to discover our Thorndon range, quilt styling tips and more.
5 tips for styling quilts
Tip 1: Add the finishing touch to styling your bed using a quilt folded neatly or casually rumpled at the end of the bed.
Tip 2: For effortlessly simple style, layer a quilt over a flat sheet for sleeping better during the warmer months.
Tip 3: For cohesive styling, choose a quilt in a coordinating colour or pattern to complement your duvet colour.
Tip 4: For timeless style, choose quilts in classic hues that will easily coordinate with all interiors and bedding such as white, natural, charcoal, blue and green.
Tip 5: We recommend choosing a quilt one size larger than your bed size. This will provide more coverage and create a generous, luxurious feel.

Lighten the look with fresh white linen sheets or add hints of pattern with cushions or pillowcases in botanical designs.


Styling By Room
Main Bedroom
Transform the main bedroom into a restful retreat with layers of beautiful bedding. If you love patterned bed linen, we suggest choosing a quilt in a classic colour which will easily coordinate with any style. The main bedroom deserves a little luxury so consider a sumptuous velvet or a soft cotton quilt. If your style is timeless white or natural bedding, try a quilt with bolder colour and texture to add an element of interest.
Kids’ Room
A children’s room is a place to have a little fun with pretty, patterned or brighter bedding. Pick quilts in bolder colours, dainty florals or botanicals, soft textures and reversible designs for young dreamers.
Guest Room
Choose a quilt to complement your current guest room bed linen. Quilts in fresh white, classic charcoal or soft natural tones will create a timeless and comforting look for your guests.
The Bach
Quilts are an easy option for beds, bunks and pull-out sofa beds at the bach or holiday home. Keep several spares in the linen cupboard for easy instant bedding for those unexpected overnight guests, choose quilts in a fresh or coastal palette for simple summer styling.
