Boho Bedspread

Boho bedspread stonewashed after weaving — 100% cotton at 300 gsm, reactive-printed and cured, with a layered block-style repeat at 22 × 22 cm in three colourways. Our boho bedspread ships with the collapsed, lived-in drape the style needs from the first night, rather than the stiff new cotton that reads as costume.

Why new boho bedspreads look wrong

Most boho bedding gets the pattern roughly right and the cloth completely wrong. The look depends on a fabric that has given up its stiffness — that collapsed, lived-in drape where the bedspread follows the shape of the bed instead of sitting on it like a sheet of card. A crisp new cotton in a boho print reads as a costume.

Stonewashed at the mill — five years of use, done for you

This is stonewashed after weaving, which is the mill doing five years of use for you before it ships. The cloth is 100% cotton at 300 gsm, and the wash softens the hand and relaxes the weave so it falls the way the style needs it to from the first night.

Why 22 × 22 cm — the repeat scale that ages well

The pattern is a layered block-style repeat at 22 × 22 cm — small enough that it reads as texture from the doorway, large enough to be a pattern up close. That scale decision is the one that determines whether you still like a boho bedspread in a year. A big-repeat print takes over a room and dates fast; this one behaves closer to a neutral. Colourways are Clay and Bone, Sage and Bone, and Indigo and Alabaster.

Reactive-printed, not pigment-printed

Reactive-printed on one face, then washed and cured, which bonds the colour into the fibre. Pigment prints — the cheap alternative — sit on top and go chalky at about thirty washes, which is exactly when a bedspread should be hitting its stride.

How to care for your boho bedspread

• Cold wash inside out with like colours
• Tumble low
• Dry out of direct sun — a printed colour fades in sunlight faster than a woven one
• Skip fabric softener — dulls the reactive-print colour

Frequently asked questions

Why does a stonewashed boho bedspread look better than a new one?

Boho depends on drape — the cloth collapsing softly on the bed rather than standing stiff. Stonewashing at the mill does that lived-in wear before it ships, so it looks right from night one.

Is a boho bedspread’s print going to fade?

Not fast — ours is reactive-printed then washed and cured, which bonds the colour into the fibre. Pigment prints go chalky at thirty washes; reactive prints keep going.

How large is the boho bedspread repeat?

22 × 22 cm — small enough to read as texture from the doorway, large enough to be a pattern up close. That scale ages well; big repeats date fast.

What sheets go with a boho bedspread?

Keep them plain in one of the colours already in the print — the bedspread does the work.
