This white bedding set is £85 less than The White Company
The right bedding can completely transform your space, whether you're aiming to create a tranquil haven to retreat to at night or freshen up your bedroom without needing a paintbrush. When in doubt, white bedding can be a timeless choice.
It matches everything, always appears clean and crisp, and exudes that dreamy boutique-hotel vibe. I'm currently on the hunt for new luxury white bedding sets to spruce up my sleep space, and The White Company is a great place to start.
I'm particularly fond of its Emmerson bedding set, with its woven jacquard stripes and soft sateen finish - but with a £110 price tag for a double duvet and £28 per pillowcase, it was beginning to feel more like a payday indulgence than a spontaneous buy. Which is where I spotted one for much less at the affordable bedding brand, Dusk.
Its Hotel Stripe bedding set looks strikingly similar, featuring the same soft white finish and subtle striped detail, but comes at a fraction of the cost.
A double duvet cover is priced at £41, while a pair of matching pillowcases will set you back £10. That means shoppers can save over £85 compared to The White Company's version, reports Yorkshire Live.
The Hotel Stripe set, crafted from 200-thread-count combed cotton, is the perfect blend of softness, crispness, and breathability. Just what you need for those warmer nights to keep things fresh all year round.
It's available in three sizes: double, king and super king. Shoppers might also like this similar style from Soak & Sleep, made from luxurious Egyptian cotton, with prices starting from £19.20.
Alternatively, Christy's scalloped set oozes luxury and wouldn't look out of place in a posh hotel. Dusk customers are raving about the Hotel Stripe set, which boasts an impressive 4.83-star rating.
One satisfied customer said: "Possibly the softest, most comfortable pillowcases I have ever slept on. Not only do they look good on the bed, but they also help aid a good night's sleep. I would highly recommend it to anyone."
A second added their praise: "Excellent quality and will be back for more." While another piped up: "I bought these pillowcases for the extra pillows on my bed to match my existing duvet set. Matches perfectly.
"It arrived quickly, too. Happy with my purchase." However, there was a minor niggle regarding size, as one customer pointed out: "Looks quite nice and feels soft, good value for money, but I wish the pillowcases were sold with duvet."
Meanwhile, another satisfied Dusk customer chimed in, saying: "Perfect feel, smooth, great quality. Ordered for our guest bedroom, and it's perfect."

'Beautiful' Dusk £35 striped lamp is back in stock after selling out five times
This bestseller, with a solid 5-star average rating, proves that small changes can have a big impact Refreshing a home doesn't always mean cracking open a tin of paint or splashing out on a new furniture set. Sometimes, all it takes is a single statement accessory to shift the mood of a room and make it feel new again. With that in mind, I spotted Dusk's viral Lucia Lamp is finally back in stock after selling out five times. This £35 design has consistently disappeared within days of restocking, so if you've had your eye on it, now's the time to make a move. The Lucia lamp comes in two bold colourways (vivid red and electric blue) and features a matching striped base and shade. It's the kind of piece that instantly draws the eye, whether it's perched on a hallway console or bringing a pop of colour to a minimalist shelf. To style it, pair it with a few tonal accessories or keep the rest of the décor pared back to let the lamp shine. It's proof that a minor update can make a real difference. Another viral lamp back in stock, and with a new colourway, is M&S's Checkerboard Table Lamp, £49.50. This gem made waves a couple of years ago and has returned in a chic teal and light pink pattern. Shop the range Product Description Otherwise, Addison Ross' Bobbin Lamp is another bestseller to consider. It's slightly more expensive at £125, but it's a real showstopper, with nine stylish colours to choose from. It also offers up to 10 hours of battery life on its brightest setting and has three adjustable light levels. The Dusk lamp has received some great reviews from shoppers. One person said: "These beautiful lamps give a terrific design boost and pop of colour to an otherwise softly decorated bedroom in grey, pink, and teal tones. I couldn't be happier with the results." A second added: "Beautiful lamp that looks terrific in my bedroom. Very unusual and so fresh, a wonderful buy." However, someone else had one niggle: "This is a lovely lamp shade and good value for the price, my only gripe is from the picture I thought it would be closer to navy when in fact it is cornflower blue." A happier shopper said: "I was sceptical about the prices but decided to give it a go and glad I did. This lamp is very well made, was easy to assemble and came well packaged. Will be ordering from Dusk again." I'd also note that Dusk can sometimes be a little hit-and-miss with delivery times. I'd recommend always checking before you purchase, as it can take some time for parcels to be shipped. Another review said: "I loved the look of the lamp as soon as I saw it online, and it didn't disappoint when delivered. It's quite big and very striking and looks more expensive than it is. Very happy with it."

What MSPs tried to expense – and why Parliament said no
However, the identities of the MSPs involved and the amount they attempted to claim have not been revealed. Parliament officials said as this information was not required under their financial procedures, it was not held and therefore not releasable under FOI. READ MORE Rejected claims included several travel expenses related to party-political activity — including an interview with STV and party spokesperson events. One Scottish Government minister also attempted to claim travel expenses for attending a ministerial event, even though Holyrood expenses can only be claimed for duties carried out in Parliament or for assisting constituents. Other unsuccessful claims included a subscription X, which the Holyrood authorities said was "political." Bids to reclaim the cost of a party newsletter, and festive greeting cards were also turned down. Politicians had to pick up their own food and drink bills too, with MSPs turned down for reimbursement for tea and coffee, and lunch at a 'team day.' Meanwhile, one MSP was knocked back in their attempt to claim for the cost of picture frames so they could display motions for constituents. Another failed to have the cost of garden plant canes reimbursed on the basis there was no provision for it in the scheme. A spokesperson for the Scottish Parliament said: 'MSPs are reimbursed for costs incurred in carrying out their parliamentary duties. Party political-related costs and sundry items such as Christmas cards are not, however, covered by the scheme.' Last year it emerged that the amount claimed in expenses by MSPs had soared by nearly £2 million in a year. Figures released by the Scottish Parliament show expenses for the 2023/24 financial year reached £25.35 million, up by £1.89 million — 8% — on 2022/23. Some £20.6 million (81%) of the money was used to cover staff costs at MSPs' parliamentary and constituency offices. The rest was used on the costs of running an office, travel and accommodation, among other things. The party leaders' allowance ballooned by 63% to £46,012 – up from £28,220 the year before. It is the second consecutive year the figure has nearly doubled. In 2021/22, the leaders' allowance was just £11,510, although it was £38,778 in 2020/21 and £36,873 in 2019/20. Earlier this month, the *Daily Mail* revealed a string of similar rejections at Westminster, with claims for luxury homewares, meals and even flowers knocked back. Unlike in Holyrood, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA) revealed names and costs. Labour MP Sean Woodcock attempted to claim £216 for duvets, Egyptian cotton towels and shower cream from Marks & Spencer, but was told the expenses watchdog does not permit furnishings or home goods. Another Labour MP, Dr Simon Opher, had a £46 claim for flowers rejected, while Gill Furniss submitted £210 for a gaming desk and office chair — also refused. Luke Myer tried to claim £155 for a three-door wardrobe to store stationery, but was told IPSA rules only allow furniture for constituency offices. Chris Webb, who won a by-election in Blackpool South last year, submitted a £2,100 claim for videography services, and Anna Turley sought £500 for speechwriting support — both rejected. LibDem MP Lee Dillon was turned down after trying to charge £204.95 for a Christmas meal for his team, including steak, scallops and pudding. Former SNP MP Steven Bonnar sought £5,160 for a staff training course more than two months after losing his seat — a claim also rejected. He told the paper: 'As you'd expect, I was keen that my staff got whatever support they could during the post-election period prior to the closure of my office and the end of their employment. In this one instance, a request was turned down, which I have no issue with.'

Everton become latest Premier League club to sell women's team to parent company
Everton 's women's team have been acquired by the parent company which also controls the men's team. The team has been bought by Roundhouse Capital, owned and controlled by American businessman Dan Friedkin, and was the entity used for the takeover of the club which was completed last December. The transaction will also benefit the men's team financially from the standpoint of Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR) as the sale can be recorded as revenue in the club's accounts. It will also allow the women's team to attract dedicated minority investment and operate as a standalone entity. Under PSR, clubs cannot exceed maximum losses of £105m over a three-year accounting period. It is understood the transaction is at a fair-market valuation, as required by the Premier League under its associated party transaction (APT) rules governing deals between entities linked to a club's ownership. The move by Everton follows the sale by Chelsea and Aston Villa of their respective women's teams to related companies. Chelsea transferred the ownership of the women's team to Blueco 22 Midco Ltd on 28 June 2024, two days before the end of the financial year. The west London club valued their women's team at £200m before the sale went through, their latest accounts show. In April, the Blues announced a pre-tax profit of £128.4m for the year ending on 30 June 2024 – with £198.7m raised by selling subsidiaries. But the full accounts, published on Companies House, showed the sale of the women's team to Blueco Midco was the reason the club posted a profit. Aston Villa, meanwhile, agreed to sell their women's team to their own parent company, V Sports, to avoid being in breach of breaching PSR. V Sports, controlled by the Villa owners, billionaires Wes Edens and Nassef Sawaris, also holds stakes in other clubs in Spain and Portugal, while having partnerships in place with Egyptian and Japanese sides.
