Recreate Erin Napier's Stunning Bedroom Makeover With A Simple Item From IKEA
If there's one thing we know about HGTV's Erin Napier, it's that she loves a good floral print. Celebrated for her unique blend of Southern, country-chic style and vintage English charm, she often incorporates floral patterns into her clients' homes — whether it's through floral-printed furniture in the living room or patterned wallpaper in the kitchen (she even has her own line of peel-and-stick wallpaper). And in a Season 8 episode of "Home Town," which she co-hosts alongside her husband Ben Napier, she brought her love of florals into the bedroom with a whimsical bedding set. Paired with earthy green walls, a white-painted wood bed frame, and white floral curtains, the combination created a beautiful English cottage aesthetic. Luckily, you can recreate the same feel at home with IKEA's best-selling KÄRRDUNÖRT duvet and pillow cover set. And the best part? It's currently on sale for only $44.99 for a queen-sized bed and $59.99 for a king-sized bed.
Described on the IKEA website as "a rich floral pattern inspired by expressions of the British Arts and Crafts movement," the fabric looks strikingly similar to the one Napier used on the show. Dark green acts as the base, while earthy shades of yellow, pink, and white make up the floral pattern — an ideal combination of colors for a cottagecore aesthetic. Many happy customers have raved about the design, with one sharing in the reviews that the bedding's "beautiful, dated finish" has made it one of their favorite things about their bedroom.
How to recreate Erin Napier's whimsical bedroom in your own home
To recreate Napier's "Home Town" bedroom aesthetic, you could easily pair the KÄRRDUNÖRT set with white sheets and additional white throw pillows. Incorporating non-printed fabrics will also keep the overall look from feeling too busy. To offset the darker duvet, Napier also decorated the room with light finishes, such as white furniture, white curtains, and a white rug. Pairing the green, floral-patterned duvet with crisp white elements will create a bright, airy feel.
If you want something slightly moodier, though, you can easily give the cottagecore look a darker feel by bringing in deeper earth tones instead. For example, instead of white sheets, try dark green, taupe, or beige bedding, and layer throw pillows and blankets in similar colors. And rather than white furniture, lean into natural materials. Wood accents — like wood furniture pieces, open shelving, or woven baskets — are a great way to bring the English cottage aesthetic into 2025. Just remember that if you choose darker bedding and furniture, you might want something a little lighter for your walls to balance the look. Universal Khaki, Sherwin-Williams' Color of the Year, would be a lovely pairing.
There's no denying that florals are trending again, especially vintage-inspired prints being mixed in with modern decor. And bedding is a low-commitment way to test the trend in your home. If you love it, you can gradually bring in more floral pieces, like a floral-printed accent chair, floral-printed curtains, or even a floral-printed lampshade.
