..while I'm thinking, allow me to say it is very pretty albeit very expensive bedding. I never knew about Ann Gish (heard the name I think), and now I found the website..didn't find same exact bedding yet, but so many pretty things. I'd go with something else probaly for the coverlet..maybe velvet one can wash, or something slightly textured..I hear though you being hot-I'm the opposite, so. Need to think even more.

As for a cheaper duvet set. One can find big florals, for sure..I don't believe though Iever saw something that would also have this quality and be cheaper..

It would dress up your bed and bedroom very nicely, the one you found.

Again, need to think. Hopefully somebody will have some ideas.

I can't save images from OneKingsLane, the website doesn't allow me. It's a huge website that carries bedding etc with discount. Whatever I like the most is very expensive even given a discount.

I'll post a link and tell me whether you can see it-I don't remember whether one needs to be a member or not.

coverlets, all of them

that'd be cheaper. both are washable

that's linen:

they have 25% off sitewide right now

There are discounts on the price, you just have to google. I went to overstock for a second and maybe you can see something similar. If I were loving it, I would only buy the pillows and use white duvet etc. I think the pillows would be enough. I agree it's gorgeous though.

Maybe you can give us approximate budget, because everything I thought very expensive-is quite affordable when one compares it to that duvet. Which does seem to be of exeptional quality and is very beautiful.

Yes, I'm thinking about the Euro shams and a contrasting solid coverlet. I'd love to get the throw, but that is a huge amount of money, especially since it would only be decorative. That's way too much bedding for me. Regarding coverlets, do people use these as blankets or only as decorative?

Go to Pinterest and put in the name of the cover "Opium Blue Linen Duvet Cover" in the search bar. The nice thing about Pinterest is that it will show you things that look similar. It's not foolproof but it's often a good starting place:

And be sure to click on the ones that have the right idea (colors or designs, etc) even if they're not quite right and they will show you more that are similar. Look what I found after clicking on that second one. I don't know if you care for the peacocks but I think they're beautiful! They have this duvet cover in white and with a more a yellow background:

..ok I've been through several websites..did put "big print florals" into search..many pretty things..they're just not AS pretty. Color play is wonderful on this Ann Gish one..

But tell us if you're willing to look at other prints

Ellie Cashman has some wonderful big scale floral cushions..but they're cushions, not shams. and they're moodier

As for coverlets-some are born to be decorative, while others(like ones I've posted..manufacturers are PomPom(first two) and Belle Epoque(the last one) can be used as an additional layer easily, I think.

Wow. That's beautiful and would go beautifully in your setting.

((I had no idea that a duvet could cost so much. YOWZA.))

Perigold has the fabric for $1020 per yard...... Maybe this is obvious, but cats or dogs would destroy the embroidery very fast!

April, I would be willing to look a t other prints, but nothing seems to come close. I think it's because this is embroidered with that luminescent thread. I don't have pets, but this a serious amount of money! Fine Linens has 20% off, but that's still so much. I'd like to find a machine washable coverlet that I could use as a blanket. I want the bed to be beautiful, but I can't deal with too many layers etc.

What color would you use in my bedroom for a coverlet if I only bought the Opium Euroshams?

If you click on the fabric option on Perigold, the price comes up as $340.

Yes I was posting machine washable ones only. Also Anthropologie has some beautiful ones that are also machine washables but they're more like (thin) quilts. The ones I'm thinking about, that wouldd go with shams. Don't know whether they won't be too thick? For you? Tell if you're willing to consider them.

As for colors I looked into taupes, whites and blues. If one goes with shams only...I personally love to mix and match so I'd have bedding itself in colors present in shams, different sets, and then might go with white or taipe coverlet. Or if bedding was white only..I'd go with deep luxirious blue. Oh I need to think. These are gorgeous. In your bedroom might be tempted to go with blue.

For the price of the duvet cover, Ann Gish should come to your house every day to make your bed! That price is insane.

Interesting, I never thought to go blue . . . I'll need to check out Anthropologie. April, did you see my message about the pricing on Perigold for the fabric? I'm wondering if perhaps I should have the Euro shams made.

If you hav your heart set on that set then look at Wayfair. They have the pillow sham and duvet at a discount. https://www.wayfair.com/bed-bath/pdp/opium-blue-linen-duvet-cover-bbnl1169.html?piid=39312551

It’s pretty and different, but if it were me, I’d spend the money instead on fine, solid classic linen, adjusting with layering for the seasons. If you want florals, just add beautiful cushions or wonderful wallpaper behind bed. Consider the whole room and add new lighting, art, a bench or chair. Personally, I would get more enjoyment from a really inviting room vs spending the amount on bedding. If the bedding makes you happy and adds to the way you want room to feel, then that’s your answer.

Included wallpaper below, as I thought you might like the colors and pattern so you could envision above room - stunning!

I think you should buy it and see if it looks great in the room.......sometimes what we imagine is not what turns out to be for what ever reason.....buy it, look at it in the room, then decide....and of course for that price it should be free return label included for shipping. You will always wonder if you don't give it a try, and you might feel it is so overwhelming in the room that a pillow is just fine, but you have to decide and take the plunge. And challenging it surely is.

I'm not good at sewing so I googled how much yards of fabrics one has to use for one Euro sham

https://findanyanswer.com/how-much-fabric-do-i-need-for-a-euro-sham#:~:text=This%20means%20that%20you%20require,the%20sham%20portion%20added%20in.

so judging by that link-can take up to 4 yards of that fabric to make two shams. If you're doing the work yourself it's only fabric-if no, then of course you'll pay for labor as well. Not a lot in terms of saving.

Also take into account it's dry clean only. To me would be a consideration. And I'm not the most change-your-bedding-often person out there.

Gorgeous bedding, no doubt, in love with it myself. But many things to take into account.

Now a bolster pilow will require less fabric I guess, and will be more decorative(I guess)-one can worry about it being dry clean only less. But in terms of pattern-might be a bit lost in a bolster shape.

Their ready made sham is 375$ on their website. 319 $ on Overstock. Maybe to purcase only one?

They also have smallish (14 by 14) pillow for 215$. Not sure about that, but as another way of introducing you favorite fabric for less..

I understand you falling in love with it. I'm always falling for the most expensive thing. In a store, online, whenever. Without knowing the price first. My remedy-either very small thing made by same designer/out of same fabric/etc. Or-to borrow from it its idea. Watercolor effect? Big florals? Luminescence? Hues you love?

Or you can just buy it of course. Enormous sum of money ..yet they say it's a best seler in a very limited stock, so obvously there are enough people for whom it's not a huge conideration. Do ask about return policy if you're getting in touch with them.

This set of theirs is pretty and washable..https://anngish.com/categories/597636/duvet-sets-dash-art-of-home/products/ysetdvsfq-ble/smokey-floral-duvet-set-dash-blue..

only it's 100% polyester, and to me a price still steep for polyester..

I'd do linen (my favorite fabric for bedding, even though cotton percale is great too)..try to find a coverlet that would double as a layer...add a pillow that's reminiscent of the bedding..or one Euro sham of theirs to know you have this exact bedding, only in small dosage.

Here's another beautiful set . . . just as pricey. https://www.horchow.com/Fino-Lino-Linen-Lace-Crazy-Monet-Queen-Bed-Scarf-bed-scarf/cprod144560003___/p.prod?icid=&searchType=MAIN&rte=%252Fsearch.jsp%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dbed%252Bscarf%2526_requestid%253D60068&grpId=cprod144560003&eItemId=cprod144090066&cmCat=search&focusProductId=cprod144090066

Hi Rachel-

The colors of your fist bedding set that you love so much are the colors of the peacock.

Rather than fixate on a bedding set that you can't afford, why not do a google search for bedding in the colors that you like?

You can do a search with gold, aqua, blue, green etc bedding and see what you come up with.

Another option is to do white or cream bedding and have accent pillows or shams and throws in those accent colors you love.

That will save you a lot of money.

For example, you can have a sham in shot silk which gives an iridescent quality, and then you can use a trim in colorways you like.

blue-green

yellow-blue

purple -blue
