Giveaway: Kate Spain Quilt Set + Décor Tips and Ideas

by

Kate-Spain-Quilt-Giveaway

The winner of this giveaway is Surabhi Kacker. Congratulations! We have sent you an email.

Here at CraftGossip, we are lucky to be featuring this brand new Kate Spain Bedding Collection. These three bedding ensembles (pictured above) grew from colorful doodles she did in her sketchbook. The florals and geometric patterns were inspired from her lush summer garden in Connecticut.

Each quilt has its own style:

“Hills and Valleys” is color saturated and artsy (on the left).

“Sunnyside” is timeless and sophisticated (in the middle  in the picture).

“Daydream” is whimsical and textural (on the right).

Which one is your favorite?

We got some design and décor tips from Kate herself:

– In the summer, I like to keep the bedrooms uncluttered to emphasize an airy, cool, and serene atmosphere.

– Linen draperies in light and bright colors pare nicely with crisp cotton sheets and light-weight colorful quilts.

– Don’t forget fresh flowers from the garden placed near to where you can enjoy them throughout the day. Bedside flowers are a beautiful way to begin and end a summer’s day.

– Finally, I swap out our plush, tufted rugs in the bedroom for seagrass, sisal, and jute floor covering. Their neutral colors and natural materials are a perfect complement for the light and airy spaces wafting with fragrant flowers.

GIVEAWAY

We are giving away one of these quilt sets to one lucky CraftGossip reader. To win, leave a comment below and tell us which one is your favorite and why.

  81. I think my favorite is daydream just because I love the colors used in that quilt. But they are all really beautiful!!

  83. Sunnyside is my fav- although they are all just incredible! This would certainly brighten my disgustingly BORING bedroom and bring a smile to my face every morning- HEY, I might even START MAKING MY BED in the morning!!!!

  85. If the third picture is daydream…that’s the one for me. They are all beautiful , but that one makes me smile.:-) my bedroom is a little tired ,and could really use a happy face lift.

  86. My daughter has brought a lot of orange into our house so would have to pick sunnyside, but they are all beautiful and make me think of a guesthouse in a fabulous beach house!

  89. My favorite would be Hills & Valleys. I love the sunny colors & would definitely wake up my bedroom & bring some style to it.

  95. I love the Sunnyside. I am planning to redo my entire house in mainly blue, yellow. and white.
    This quilt would look beautiful on my white iron bed.

  97. Hills & Valleys would look perfect in my parents farmhouse. They recently bought a vineyard and are I the process of decorating the new space!

  98. They are all so pretty but I think my favorite is the blue one–probably cause blue has been my favorite color since the day of my birth!!

  104. I like the blue colors of Sunnyside but the Chevron pattern of Hills and Valley. So I would say either of these two.

  105. I have to say I love them all, but, hills and valley is my favorite. I love the cheveron. Sunny Side is great too. We are redoing my daughter’s bedroom. She loves orange and blue. It would be perfect.

  106. i love the hills and valley. Cheveron is one of my favorite. Also love Sunny Side. We are redoing my daughter’s bed room and blue and orange is her favorite.

  109. the Yellow one in the middle is my favorite,but I would be proud to have any. They are all beautiful

  110. Although each quilt is beautiful on their own, Sunnyside is my favorite of them all. With the heat of our summer days, wrapping up in a quilt on cool summer nights is just delightful. The blues in this quilt have such depth and feel comforting and cooling, so needed in our busy lives. The poppies are interesting reds and feel a little feisty and happy. The interplay of colors draw you in, I definitely could see loosing myself just reading the quilt’s colors and textures. What a lovely way to drift off to dreamland.

It wold be beautiful in my daughters room that I just painted a pale yellow. She is away at college and would love for her to come home to this beautiful bedding!

  122. I adore the middle one with light yellow colorway and chevron pattern. It really feels like summer weekend, very relaxing. thanks/

  124. I like the yellow one in the middle. It reminds me of bright sunshine and gives off a clean, airy feeling. My daughter was recently married and they are a young couple starting off.

  157. I love the hills and valleys because I have never been a pink or yellow peraom but the blue and purples are beautifil and remind me of a field of summer lilacs with a few pansies sparcely placed about. It shows how every romantic daydream of frolicing through flowers should begin.
