Price History
Description
Bring botanical beauty to your bedroom with this William Morris At Home bedding set. Crafted from 250 thread count pure cotton sateen, it features the 1877 Double Bough design, with pinks, thistles and chrysanthemums trailing across a porcelain blue ground. The Vine and Leaf print forms an elegant Oxford edge, while a statement stripe drawn from an original William Morris design decorates the reverse.
Our Stylist Says
I love this William Morris-inspired bed set for its timeless, classic pattern and calming medium blue hues, making it an ideal choice for creating a restful bedroom space. It works particularly well in traditional or shabby-chic interiors, but can also provide a charming contrast in more contemporary or minimalist rooms, adding a touch of heritage style. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or textured bedlinen in natural fibres to enhance the cosy, vintage feel. To make the most of this bedding, consider layering with soft throws and cushions in complementary shades like dusky blue or taupe, and keep accessories simple to let the pattern shine. It’s a versatile pick that effortlessly combines heritage charm with everyday comfort.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
