Marshalls Is Selling a 1800s-Inspired Comforter Set That Looks 3x the Price (So Cute!)

I try to find a lot of my decor secondhand, and my criteria is that it at least looks vintage even if it isn’t true vintage. However, as much as I love scouring thrift stores and Facebook Marketplace for gems, I draw the line at buying used bedding. No, I look for brand new, vintage-inspired comforters and quilts that match the rest of my apartment’s aesthetic. (And it’s important that they do, because I live in a studio, and my bedroom and living room are all rolled up into one.)

Right now, my quilt is the most stylish piece of my bed, whereas my comforter is just a plain, standard white. I’ve been wanting to switch to another one with a print for a while, especially while it’s still cold enough to have a few layers going on. If you’re looking to give your space a refresh and have a love for antique-looking home items like I do, then I need to put you onto my latest Marshalls find.

This 1800s-inspired comforter set has a gorgeous LoveShackFancy vibe for only a fraction of the price. The similar pink version I wrote about a few weeks ago already sold out in most sizes, so I recommend grabbing the blue one stat!

In addition to the comforter, this set includes two shams to bring the whole look together. Every piece is OEKO-TEX Standard 10-certified — which means the material underwent tests to ensure it’s free of harmful chemicals — and has been approved by the Better Cotton Initiative, an organization focused on making cotton production more sustainable. The shell consists of a gauzy cotton, while the polyester fill is distributed throughout. 

Its stylish print, however, is the true showstopper. Surrounded by a romantic, ruffled border is a detailed scene of birds, flowers, leaves, and butterflies. More specifically, the print is called “Toile de Jouy” or toile, which became hugely popular in late 18th-century and early 19th-century France and has had various resurgences over the centuries, including in recent years. Toile patterns most commonly feature complex pastoral scenes in a single color on top of a solid white background, though they’ve been known to vary. You can find it on everything from wallpaper to dishware in addition to linens.

This toile comforter is such a stunning alternative to your standard solid-colored ones, and you don’t even need a duvet cover to make it look nicer. Even though the pattern is complex and dense, it doesn’t really look like it thanks to the pastel blue and white color scheme. With the right furniture and the comforter’s bright colors, it won’t come across as heavy as some of the “the toile-filled parlor rooms of centuries past,” which we noted when we covered the pattern’s comeback a few years ago. 

What’s more, toile is surprisingly versatile. If you don’t want to lean into the vintage vibe, all you have to do is pair it with furniture that has sleek lines and current finishes and it instantly looks modern and fresh. That realization likely has to do with the print’s popularity at brands like LoveShackFancy, which embraces romantic patterns and frills in many of its clothing and home items. This Marshalls comforter will give you a similar effect without taking such a large chunk out of your wallet — which makes it a must-grab in my book!
