It's that time of year when summer bedding isn't warm enough for the dropping temperatures, but it's not yet quite cold enough to bring out the heavyweight winter alternatives. As with autumnal clothing, the answer to finding comfort and warmth as we head towards the holidays is .
For this, the newly released Brooklinen Velvet Washed Quilt is ideal. With a soft, luxurious, yet laid-back look and feel, it's a casual addition that will act as a cozy layer, while the crisp percale back of the double-sided design offers year-round flexibility.
It's a simple yet stylish option to keep you warm while you sleep, without overheating.
This deep, saturated blue-gray is my favorite of the available color options. Each quilt is made in Portugal.
There's no better way to keep cozy at this time of year than with the hotel layering trick, and Brooklinen's Velvet Washed Quilt is the perfect addition for bringing that professional, chic comfort to your own bedroom space.
With a soft raised pile on one side and a crisp, cooling percale layer on the back, it's cleverly reversible as the weather continues to grow colder. It's also impressively versatile − it can be used alone, layered with your best bed sheets, or used as a top layer alongside your best duvet insert or comforter once winter weather takes hold.
Unlike most velvet, it is also easy to wash and care for. Simply machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. It can be ironed, too, on a low setting, if needed. This is an easy way to make your bed look like it belongs in a hotel.
This is a new release from Brooklinen, and I'm yet to try it myself and there are very few shopper reviews on-site. There is, however, one glowing five-star opinion already. 'Very nice casual velvet blanket,' says Mad. 'For the look and feel of velvet, this blanket hits the spot.
Design expertise in your inbox – from inspiring decorating ideas and beautiful celebrity homes to practical gardening advice and shopping round-ups.
Casual, comfortable, and cozy. The Mahogany color is darker in person than online. Tends to lean much more brown and maroon. Looking forward to styling this blanket with layering pieces.'
It will look particularly tasteful alongside other Brooklinen favorites. For example, I'd layer it with the Washed European Linen Duvet Cover in the fun Grove Stripe in Lotus colorway, the Luxe Sateen Flat Sheet in white, and the Weekend Wash Throw Blanket in Aegean for a pop of color and extra warmth.
