There's something about draping a vintage-style quilt over a bed that instantly makes a bedroom feel cozier. A stylish quilt can add rich color and beautiful patterns but also, perhaps most importantly, an additional layer of warmth throughout the colder seasons.
There's just one problem − they tend to sit towards the more expensive end of the bedding spectrum. That's why I was so delighted to spot ALDI's Merry Moments Foulard Holiday Quilt, which brings plenty of festive cheer and costs just $34.99.
It may have only just dropped on the site, but this chic patchwork quilt is sure to be a sell-out.
Merry Moments Foulard Holiday Quilt
I know − quilts are one of those things that are usually better to buy vintage. Forgive me, though; chic Christmas bedding is where I'm willing to make an exception. As I've already mentioned, vintage quilts can be staggeringly expensive, and for something that will likely only adorn your bed from November until January, I can't justify spending upwards of $500. For just $34.99, though, I certainly justify picking up the Merry Moments Foulard Holiday Quilt, available at ALDI.
It's amazing how much adding a quilt can truly transform a space. I recently added the Brooklinen Modern Heritage Quilt Set to my bed at home, and have already been inundated with compliments from guests. I'm all for making my space feel festive, though, which is why I was looking for a brighter, seasonal alternative.
With a gorgeously vibrant red and green pattern, the ALDI iteration perfectly fits the bill, adding warmth, style, and a seasonal touch. That's not to say that a red and green quilt is suitable for the upcoming holiday season, though. Sure, decorating with red and green at Christmas is traditional, but the colors on this quilt are poppy enough to still look elegant without being gaudy come spring and summer.
It's also a simple, affordable addition to make bedding feel warmer, without having to invest in a whole new duvet insert or comforter. I'd use it on my own bed throughout the holiday season, but swap it to my guest bedroom if any friends or family members are coming to spend the night.

Below, I've handpicked alternative quilt options and sleep space layers for adding warmth to a room and keeping guests warm this winter.

Brooklinen Modern Heritage Quilt Set
This cozy quilt set adds vintage charm to my bedroom. The vibrant screen-printed design looks tasteful yet impactful, and invisible zippers on the back of the pillowcases keep the pillows in place all night long.
Abbott Velvet Solid Scalloped Quilt
The festive season always calls for green velvet. This quilt set is crafted from luxe cotton velvet and adds breathable warmth to any bedroom. It's also conveniently machine washable.
Red Check Piped Edge Patchwork Quilt
If you've got a bigger budget to spend, this quilt from Piglet in Bed is easy to care for, OEKO-TEX Standard 100-certified, and absolutely beautiful. It's hand-quilted in India and generously filled for extra warmth.
This is another cold-weather essential in my household. The fluffy blanket can be cleverly popped onto the comforter to prevent it from slipping and sliding off at night, and then removed for storage in warmer weather.
I love the look of my linen bed sheets, but I often swap them out for something like brushed cotton once temperatures drop. This quilt offers the best of both worlds, with the same laid-back look paired with a luxuriously weighty feel.
If you're also a fan of brushed cotton bedding, this red tartan set from H&M Home is fabulously festive. It features concealed snap fasteners at the foot end and comes with two matching pillowcases with envelope closures.
The patchwork trend is one that never goes out of style, and this gorgeous quilt can be used to bring cozy warmth and seasonal style to your home for many winters to come.
