Subtle Tribal Influence: Organic Village Diamond Bedding

My husband thinks it’s absolutely insane that I can spend hours on end looking at bedding options, furniture and decor and never get tired of finding new pieces. It’s why he likely regrets the decision every time we make a trip to Ikea or Pottery Barn. But no matter what he says, I just love hunting for new finds that will spice up our living spaces. I can’t help myself, and that’s why I’ll never tire of sharing my finds with you. For example, I’m sure I’m not the only one who will appreciate this organic Village Diamond duvet cover and sham from West Elm.

The geometric diamond pattern is inspired by traditional African block prints. My husband and I have a lot of African art (albeit in storage), but I’ve never liked the idea of Safari-inspired bedding in our room. This subtle pattern would be a great way to bring our taste into the bedroom without making our bedding too bold. The diamonds and muted color scheme also give it a modern edge that could also be interpreted as having a Scandinavian influence. In other words, it’s a lot of styles wrapped into one package, much like my taste :)

Now if I can find an eco-friendly version of the headboard and fluffy throw pillow shown in the photos, I’ll be happy.

Why It’s Green:

  • Made of 300-thread-count organic cotton percale

Price: $19-99 (aff)

that’s a pretty good deal for organic bedding, is it comfortable? 300 tc isn’t too bad, but isn’t great.
