The single set includes a duvet and one pillowcase whilst the double set comes with two pillowcases. Prices go from £70 to £120. Check it out online here.

1950s-style Eloise bedlinen from House of Fraser

Eloise
This Eloise bedlinen, available from House of Fraser, is a contemporary design but looks like it has come straight from the 1950s.

The design, made by Sheridan, is a colourful design, covered with abstract shapes. It's definitely got the look of some of the artist's textiles of the Fifties, especially the work of someone like Marian Mahler. There's a pattern on the reverse too, all printed onto 100% cotton.

More interesting than your average bedlinen, prices start at £19 for a pillowcase.
