You can also create your own wishlist boards, saving your favourite pieces and bringing them together into moodboards for different rooms in your home.

How do I know what bedspread size to purchase?

Our bedspreads are designed to fall to the floor. As bed heights and mattress depths can vary, we recommend measuring your bed carefully before ordering to ensure you select the right size.

With your usual bedding in place, measure from the floor on one side, up and across the bed, then down to the floor on the other side. Choose the bedspread size that most closely matches this measurement.

As each bedspread is individually handmade, there may be a slight variation of ±5% from the listed dimensions.

You will find our full size guide and specific measurements on each product page.

What is the difference between a comforter and a coverlet?

Our comforters are designed to be folded at the end of the bed as a decorative statement piece. They can be pulled up for extra warmth on chilly nights and are perfect for daytime naps. They can also be used as a cosy throw on a sofa or in a living area.

Our coverlets are designed for layering with a comforter or as a lighter accent piece at the end of the bed. They’re ideal for those who prefer a less voluminous look. Coverlets can also be pulled up and used as a bedcover when needed, but unlike our bedspreads, they aren’t designed to provide full, floor-length coverage.

What size comforter is best for my bed?

The best comforter size for your bed depends on how much drape you’d like over the sides.

We recommend a large comforter for king and super king beds. For a queen bed, either a small or large comforter can work beautifully, depending on your preferred look. A small comforter is best suited to a single or king single bed.

You’ll find the dimensions of each comforter in the product description to help you choose the right size for your bed.

What are your products filled with?

Cushions - All of our cushions come filled with feather inners.

Bedspreads & Coverlets - We use cotton wadding in our quilted bedspreads.

Comforters - Poly fill

Silk Bedding - 100% grade A pure floss mulberry silk. Mulberry silk is the highest quality silk you can purchase.

Silk Pillows - 50% grade A pure mulberry silk mixed with 50% polyester. Polyester is added to give loft and cushioning and helps with retaining shape.

Do you only stock Queen and King/Super King Headboards?

Yes, we currently stock headboards in queen and king/super king sizes. We can also arrange custom sizes if needed! Please email sales@biancalorenne.co.nz for a quote and an estimated timeframe.

Do you offer fabric samples?

Yes, fabric samples are available to purchase through our website for $2 each, with complimentary courier delivery.

To order a sample, simply visit the product page you’re interested in and select ‘Request a Sample’, located next to the Size Guide.

How often does a new collection come out?

Our exclusive, limited-edition collections are released every twelve months, allowing you to curate and build your personal sanctuary with intention and care.

Are the colours online a close match to the product?

All Bianca Lorenne products have been colour corrected to represent real life colour as best as possible. However, colours can appear differently depending on your screen and device settings.

If you’d like to check a colour in person before purchasing, we recommend ordering a fabric sample where available. Samples are $2 each, with complimentary courier delivery.

To order a sample, simply visit the product page you’re interested in and select ‘Request a Sample’, located next to the Size Guide.

Can I view the range in person?

Absolutely! You can explore our full range at our flagship store in New Plymouth, New Zealand, or visit one of our selected stockists.

As each stockist carries a different selection of products, we recommend contacting them before visiting to check whether they have the item you’re interested in available in-store. You can find a list of our stockists here.

If you don’t have a stockist nearby, we also offer fabric samples for $2 each, with complimentary courier delivery, so you can see and feel the fabric before purchasing.
