Cypress | Quilted Bedspread

The Cypress Quilted Bedspread

There is something quietly transporting about a bed dressed in the Cypress Quilted Bedspread. Its soft, ivory ground is scattered with hand-block-printed botanicals — slender cypress trees rendered in sage and teal, delicate iris blooms in dusty rose, and sprigs of dark foliage that speak to an unhurried, garden-inspired world. It is the kind of textile that makes a room feel considered without feeling contrived.

The design takes its name from the cypress tree: an ancient symbol of grace and resilience, long celebrated in garden traditions from Persia to Tuscany. Here, the motif is interpreted in the relaxed, artisanal vocabulary of Indian block printing — each impression slightly imperfect in the most beautiful way, carrying the mark of the craftsperson's hand. A repeating chevron border frames the field on two sides, adding structure and rhythm without competing with the botanical print.

The Quilting

Fine parallel channel quilting runs the length of the bedspread, creating an even, linear texture that catches the light softly and adds a gentle loft without bulk. The channels are closely spaced to give the surface a subtle crispness — more refined than a chunky patchwork quilt, more relaxed than a tailored coverlet. Folded at the foot of the bed or layered over linen sheets, the Cypress Bedspread drapes with easy, natural weight.

The reverse is finished in the same ivory cotton, quilted to match, so the bedspread looks equally composed whether neatly turned down or casually thrown. A zigzag-printed cotton border, visible on both faces, frames the piece with a graphic, handcrafted detail.

Fabric & Construction

Crafted in 100% cotton, the Cypress Bedspread is soft to the touch from the first use and only improves with washing. The block-print dyes are gentle and botanically derived, giving the palette its characteristic softness — neither stark nor faded, but settled and honest. The quilted cotton fill provides light warmth suitable for spring and summer nights, or as an additional layer in cooler months.

The combination of hand-blocking and machine quilting reflects the best of contemporary craft production: individually expressive in its printed surface, consistent and durable in its construction.

Sizes & Dimensions

The Cypress Quilted Bedspread is available in three sizes to suit standard UK bed frames:

• Single — 225 cm × 150 cm. An ample throw for a single bed, with enough drop to tuck or drape at the sides.
• Double — 270 cm × 225 cm. A generous fit for a double or small king frame, with a graceful fall on all sides.
• King — 270 cm × 270 cm. A square, luxurious covering for a king or super-king bed, designed to pool softly or fold back cleanly at the pillow line.

All sizes are subject to a ±2 cm tolerance, as is natural with hand-finished textile goods.

Colour

The ground is a warm, natural ivory — not a stark white, but the quiet, unbleached tone of fine cotton in its most honest form. The block-printed motifs introduce sage green, deep teal, dusty rose, and dark charcoal-green foliage. The zigzag border is printed in the same teal-navy, anchoring the palette with a graphic note. The overall effect is calm and considered: a bedspread that works as effortlessly in a linen-toned, neutral bedroom as it does alongside warmer terracotta or aged oak tones.

Styling Notes

Layer the Cypress Bedspread over crisp white or warm ecru linen sheets for a hotel-inspired finish. Fold it neatly across the foot of the bed to let the channel quilting and border detail speak. For a more relaxed, lived-in look, drape it loosely over one side or use it as a generous throw across a bedroom armchair or chaise. The botanical print pairs naturally with other handcrafted or artisanal textiles — woven cushions, embroidered pillowcases, aged ceramic bedside pieces — as well as with simpler, more pared-back interiors where the Cypress becomes the room's single point of character.

It is equally at home in a guest room that benefits from a quietly impactful, easily laundered layer, or as a permanent fixture in a principal bedroom where the design is given space to breathe.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
• Use a mild, colour-safe detergent
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat or hang to dry to preserve the quilted channels
• Cool iron on the reverse if required
• Do not bleach or dry clean

The cotton will soften further with each wash, and the block-print palette will retain its character when cared for at low temperatures.
