# Faux-Knitted Linens The Printed Granny Duvet Cover Mimics Grandma's Handmade Throw By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-04-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granny-duvet-cover References: [snurkbeddengoed.nl](https://www.snurkbeddengoed.nl/new--granny-white-1?size=375) The Granny Duvet Cover looks convincingly like the blanket that you might find slung over the back of your grandmother's couch; however, you'll be surprised to learn that it was not manufactured with the same material and technique. Touch the blanket with your fingertips and and you'll realize this straight away. It's actually photographic prints that decorate the bedding set, and these transfer so much detail onto the [pillowcases and the slipcovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklinen-x-dabito) of various sizes that it looks as though the fabrics have been crocheted delicately and organically into their [colorful floral patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection). Snurk's Granny Duvet Cover collection may not appeal to those who have no interest in the aesthetics of grandma's domestic accessories, but the product offers a fresh and funky way to update the old motif for the contemporary home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Photographic-print Decor:** The use of photographic prints to mimic different textures and patterns in home decor presents an opportunity for innovative design and customization. - **Faux-handmade Textiles:** The trend of creating faux handmade textiles using modern manufacturing techniques opens up possibilities for unique and cost-effective home furnishings. - **Nostalgic Revival:** The revival of nostalgic design elements, such as grandma's handmade throw, offers a disruptive opportunity to create modern interpretations and updated versions of traditional products. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage faux-knitted linens to create a wide range of products that combine traditional aesthetics with modern manufacturing capabilities. - **Textile Manufacturing:** Textile manufacturers can explore the production of faux-handmade textiles to meet the growing demand for unique and cost-effective home furnishings. - **Printed Fabrics:** The printed fabric industry can embrace the trend of photographic prints to offer a variety of customizable designs that mimic different textures and patterns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Percale Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sferras-grande-hotel-duvet-cove.md) - [French Washed Linens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adele-duvet-cover.md) - [Designer-Forward Blanket Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blanket-collections.md) - [Fashion-Forward Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-blanket.md) - [Vintage Floral Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pottery-barn-kids-1.md) - [Multifaceted Luxury Linens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pom-pom-at-home.md) - [High-Fashion Throw Blankets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erdem-1.md) - [Chic Linen Quilt Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linen-quilt-design.md) - [Whimsical Fairy Tale-Like Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piglet-in-bed.md)
