Nothing beats that 'new sheets' feeling. And if you're looking to transform your bedroom for autumn without spending a fortune, we've found the perfect place to shop: Habitat at Sainsbury's. The brand's new-in bedding section is full of stylish, trend-led designs at great prices.
Our favourite is the monochrome polka dot duvet set that taps into one of summer and now autumn's most popular prints.
Habitat White & Black Spots Bedding Set-Double
Habitat White & Black Spots Bedding Set-Double
Simple, yet striking, it will work in any bedroom design, giving your space a contemporary look. It works brilliantly with pops of colour, including bold yellows, or with floral prints if you're going for a more maximalist look. Alternatively, layer up with caramels and browns for a tonal, minimalist finish.
The set comes with two matching pillowcases (if you buy the double, king or superking sizes), for a bargain price of £18 for a double or £22 for a king. The sheets are made from a polycotton blend for a linen-look finish and have also been treated with antimicrobial tech. Plus, they're STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, which means they've been tested and proven free from harmful substances.
With Habitat's next-day delivery, you could be enjoying your new-season sheets by tomorrow night.
But, if polka dots aren't your style, we've found four more stylish new-season sets for under £30.
