Im looking for good quality bed linen for our bed and need some inspiration. I was looking for something colourful without realising that the real quality stuff doesn't seem to come in colours. So I can settle for white linen and a colourful bed spread. I would like something in quite a cool colour for summer so teal, a touch of bright pink or grey/silver. I have looked in John Lewis and Next and Tk maxx without any luck so far.

Any suggestions or websites to look at?

the white company?

and the Northern Nights stuff on QVC (www.qvcuk.com)is amazing quality - they have thread counts of 300-400 on there, as good as Frette.

Also, Descamps have an outlet store at Bicester village as do the White company.

on that link, I keep seeing 'Crusty Towels' not 'Christy Towels'. It's really offputting!

Why give your towels a name so close to crusty ewww

ooh dittany, I have one of their children's sets and it's lovely.

Why are all the adult's pillows frilly or have bits round the edge? v annoying

Thanks everyone. I am looking through all your suggestions.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
