This New Collaboration Reinvents a Centuries-Old Bedding Style Into Something That Feels Totally Cool Again

Quilting may make you think of your grandmother, but this modern take from Glassette x Secret Linen Store feels like a breath of fresh air

Want to know what happens when you blend timeless charm with modern appeal? You get the Postcards from Home collection, a brand new collaboration between Glassette and Secret Linen Store that breathes new life into classic pieces for the table and bed. But at the heart of the collection, at least according to us here at Livingetc, is the Stella Quilted Bedspread — a colorful piece that completely changes the way we look at traditional quilted bedcovers.

Inspired by a vintage quilt that Glassette's co-founder Laura Jackson saw on a trip to New York, the piece has Americana charm woven into its design. Its pinwheel pattern feels bold and modern, yet maintains the deeply nostalgic quality that the centuries-old bedding trend is known for.

It also happens to be Molly Freshwater's favorite piece, too. The co-founder and creative director of bedding brand, Secret Linen Store, says, "She’s the quilt that’s full of character: vibrant, joyful, and designed to make a statement. I love how she instantly brightens up a room."

The quilt is everything she wanted the collaboration to be, continues Molly. "Uplifing, versatile, and made with heaps of heart." The quilted bedspread invites color and a sense of playfulness into your space, and when topped with the matching pillow covers, it makes a convincing case for staying in.

Of course, a soft and cozy quilted bedspread would be enough of a reason to stay home all day, but the rest of the 15-piece collection celebrates more at-home moments, too.

From the stylishly striped curtains and checkerboard-trimmed duvet that will transform your bedroom to a cozy retreat, to the vibrant tablecloths and napkins perfect for an outdoor garden party, this collection has everything you need to create a warm and inviting atmosphere at home — an atmosphere so cozy, you'd never want to leave.

And despite the variety of products, each piece from the collection feels like it belongs together. "It was important from the beginning that [the pieces] would all work together, whether you're setting the table for friends or curling up for a Sunday forty winks," Molly tells Livingetc.

With playful yet grown-up patterns that have a comforting familiarity, each piece invites sunshine into the little moments at home. And the results: "a palette and a mood that feels joyful, sun-drenched, and a little bit nostalgic," describes Molly.

This Glassette x Secret Linen Store collaboration is hinting at a summer full of staying in, and I'm not mad about it. Below, find a few more pieces from the range that capture the peaceful nostalgia of a summer spent lounging at home without a care in the world.

A summer spent at home means one thing — you've got to get your interiors ready for hosting friends.
