MissPrint bedding: the perfect duvet covers for eclectic bedrooms

Mustard yellow bedding set from John Lewis, perfect for the eclectic style bedroom!

We just love MissPrint bedding. We think the company's duvet covers are the perfect choice for eclectic style bedrooms. We are huge fans of the company's retro prints, playful designs and bold colours. The mustard dandelion print duvet cover (pictured below) is one of my favourite designs by MissPrint.  (You can shop it here at John Lewis).  MissPrint designed the cheery duvet cover exclusively for John Lewis's 150th birthday celebrations.   The company say the bedding set fuses "contemporary quality with retro design".  For us, that’s the perfect combination for an eclectic style bedroom!
