I’ve seen a lot of dreamy bedrooms lately, including a groovy space in Laurel Canyon and a London-inspired oasis in Arkansas, and all my favorites have one thing in common: patterned bedcovers. I’m not talking kitschy florals or trendy checkerboards. Designers are reaching for handwoven, artisanal, rustic-modern textiles; thin coverlets and spreads that feature staggered stripes and folky weaves. I was obsessing over a Los Feliz bedroom designed by Katie Salove (pictured below) that stars a handwoven, $1,500 bedcover from Pat McGann when I remembered something very important: IKEA recently launched a geometric quilt… for less than $100.
The Inspiration
The Skogskovall bedspread shares a lot of similarities with the much pricier bedspreads I’ve been eyeing. While it isn’t made by hand, it is jacquard-woven, meaning the weave creates the repeating, grid-like pattern—not a printer. It’s also 100% cotton, so it’s bound to be comfier than a polyester blend. Unlike, say, Morrow’s $295 Yara bedcover or Studio Ford’s $660 Gunta Quilt, this IKEA blanket starts at $70 for a full/queen size and $90 for a king.
The IKEA Skogskovall Bedspread
The two things customers want more of? Sizes (twin would be nice!) and colors (right now, it only comes in dark blue). Overall, the quality of the textile is a hit with shoppers, so while it might not have the same look and feel as something crafted by an artisan, it is soft to the touch. Then there’s always the perk of being able to toss it in your washing machine.
Complete the Look
Some other details I’m seeing in elevated bedrooms? Modern lighting, chunky wool rugs, simple nightstands, and abstract art create a peaceful scene.
