Spring has finally arrived! A quick and easy way to bring spring into your home is to switch out your bedding. Whether it is a duvet cover you place right over your existing comforter (yes, I am a year round comforter girl!) or a lightweight coverlet, there is a style for every room scheme!

For major impact, try white-based bedding – a fresh, crisp and clean background really sets off a punch of color!

And some of us just change our home so often we don’t necessarily want to spend the money on one particular item. In searching for yet another new bedding ensemble, I decided to check out some of my favorite designers and, man, what they are doing at a discounted price!

First, we have Dwell Studio’s new line for Target. This ensemble just looks crisp, clean and completely refreshing…talk about coming out of winter hibernation into the spring breeze!

Then there’s the fabulous Angela Adams designing for Bed Bath and Beyond. The Lulu bedding collection features her signature oval pattern. The ever popular teal and brown combo is shown here and creates a warm, comfortable haven.

Bed Bath & Beyond also showcases the “Hollywood” line by Jonathan Adler, a handsome mix of deep navy and clean white.

As a grade schooler, I remember those who wore the “gator” were known as the preppy kids. Now, all those preppy kids are rejoicing with Lacoste’s incredibly colorful sheet sets. They have even tacked on their classic alligator for the Crocod’elle collection, available at Macy’s! I love the deep purple option.

Nate Berkus of Oprah fame has created an India-inspired pattern in this chocolate/white option, available at Linens and Things. Again, I like the clean look of this ensemble and after seeing it in person, I like it even better. It has great movement and as a pattern, it could be the highlight of any bedroom!

As you can see, there are many affordable options out there for the budget-conscious design lover! I am not sure my search has ended, but at least I know what is available. Where do you find designer items at discounted prices?
