'Soft' Dunelm bedding that 'brightens room for summer' now 30% off
'Really pretty bedding. Feels great in the bed. Washes well, easy to iron and excellent quality.' One of the easiest ways to switch up the aesthetic in your own bedroom or a guest room is to change the bedding. With a huge variety of styles to fit everyone's taste, it is important to have a few bedding sets that can easily be switched between throughout the year. For those in need of more bedding or have become bored with their older sets, Dunelm has plenty of gorgeous bedding that could fit different needs. And what makes it even better is that many popular styles have recently been given decent discounts. One such set that currently had a 4.7 star rating is the Darla Floral Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set. Two colours are available - pink and sage - however only the pink set has been reduced. For shoppers looking for a single sized set, the pink Darla bedding is now £14 instead of £20. For a double the set retails for £16.80 (£24), meanwhile the king size is down to £21 (£30). The super king has also dropped from £34 to £23.80. For shoppers wanting the sage set they will need to pay the original retail prices. Providing a timeless elegance to your home, this floral bedding set is made with a breathable cotton that will offer shoppers both comfort and durability, reports Birmingham Live. To complete the look, the duvet comes with matching pillowcases to create a seamless design. For added versatility, this bedding set is also reversible so shoppers can instead choose to flip the set over and enjoy a calm design that resembles soft clouds. For shoppers looking for something a bit more unique, Dunelm is selling the Flower Studio Duvet Cover & Pillowcase Set for between £8 and £14. Featuring a boho-inspired floral design, this set is made with a durable, easy care polyester. Alternatively, Debenhams has reduced the price of the Nalu Nicole Scherzinger Dune Duvet. Normally retailing for £45 to £85, shoppers can now snap up this cotton set for between £22.50 and £42.50 in the end-of-summer sale. Back to the Darla Duvet Set, Dunelm shoppers have raved over the 'comfortable set', with a few saying it is perfect for the summer months. One happy shopper said: "Really pretty bedding. Feels great in the bed. Washes well, easy to iron, and excellent quality." While another five-star reviewer added: "Lovely sage green fresh colour brightens the bedroom up for the summer. Washes good low spin as can crease but iron well." However, a few people weren't as pleased with the set, as one person wrote: "Didn't iron well. I've noticed this about other bedding from Dunelm too." With another customer writing: "Goes with the floral cottage vibe in my bedroom. Fine for the money but not my favourite duvet cover." On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "Really pretty set, perfect sage colour and goes so well in my cottage setting." While a sixth customer commented: "Really cute and soft, I love them. I recommend washing before using obviously, but really comfortable and soft." Get the popular Darla Floral Duvet Cover and Pillowcase Set for 30 per cent less at Dunelm.

Pre, post-war Sandakan images in new book
Published on: Monday, May 05, 2025 Published on: Mon, May 05, 2025 By: Winnie Kasmir Text Size: Wong (left) and Nicholas (second, right) holding the book during the launch. SANDAKAN: A new book, Vintage Images of North Borneo by the Kwan Brothers, offer a rare glimpse into the town's pre-war vibrancy and post-war devastation through the lenses of three siblings—Kwan Kai Fook, Kwan Yau Moi, and Kwan Dick Fook. Compiled over nearly a decade by local historian Nicholas Tan, the book features previously unseen photographs that document Sandakan's transformation during one of its most turbulent eras. The launch was officiated by Madam Wong Chio Chung and attended by over a hundred guests on Saturday. Tan reflected on the journey to bring the work to light. 'Many images were made public for the first time, thanks to Madam Wong, widow of the late Kwan Dick Fook. 'This is more than a book—it's a time capsule. It is both a privilege and a pleasure to present this pictorial book,' said Tan, who first encountered the late Kwan Dick Fook in the 1960s as a boy living near the family's Flower Studio in Sandakan. Tan paid tribute to those who supported him—including Madam Wong, Dr. PK Lim, historians Datuk Dr Danny Wong and Mr Ross Ibbotson, and his publisher Datuk CL Chan. He also addressed a long-standing misattribution: the iconic 1941 panoramic photograph of Sandakan, he clarified, was taken by Kwan Yau Mui and Kwan Dick Fook, and the original negative remains with the Kwan family. Twelve prints from the Kwan Brothers are now on sale, with proceeds benefiting The Sabah Society, Sandakan. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
