Inspired by the timeless stylings of the Upper East Side, Barclay Butera presents a fresh take on sophisticated glamour: the Madison bedding collection. This ensemble was conceived as an evolution of his 2013 collection Central Park, which remains a bestseller to this day! Using the same ivory and spa tones, this bedding's luxurious textiles transform clean silhouettes into elegant statements, creating an atmosphere that is both traditionally formal and easily livable. From a luminous ombre duvet cover to sumptuous chenille shams, Barclay’s newest collection is full of polished poise. Read on for more detail on every bead and trim—as well as tips on how to style these luxurious soft goods!

Meet the Designer

Barclay Butera has been the creative force behind his prestigious design firm and showroom since 1994. His success in Newport Beach, California prompted Butera to establish showrooms in Park City, Utah, and Corona del Mar, California. Butera is renowned for his approachable elegance and glamorous, coastal-chic interiors. His venture into licensing has landed him an unprecedented number of the industry’s most respected partners including: Lexington Home Brands furniture, Kravet indoor and outdoor textiles and carpets, Leftbank Art, Jaipur Living rugs, and many more. Butera is also a best-selling author of 6 coffee table books, including his most recent release — The New Traditional. 

Eastern Accents has been proud to partner with Barclay for over a decade, creating a wide range of luxury bedding collections and decorative pillows. Hand-crafted in Eastern Accents' Chicago factory, these collections coordinate with Butera's successful lifestyle home furnishings products; his signature look of richly layered design and elegant, yet lived-in, decor mesh seamlessly with Coastal, Mountain, Desert, and City styles.  

Design Details 

Barclay’s Madison collection is full of elegant details…some old and some new. The luminous ombre duvet cover is crafted from the fabric Delphi Sea, also featured in Eastern Accents’ Danae collection. This ensemble not only debuts four new textiles, but specially-sized Dutch Euro Shams, a glittering bed scarf, and luxe accent pillows. 

New Fabrics

Bed Scarf 

Luxe and luminous, our Madison Metallic Bed Scarf is crafted from Fairview Jade, an elegant ivory tweed woven with subtle blue and gold threads. Plush batting provides luxurious loft, ideal for adding extra warmth to the foot of the bed. Style with the rest of our Madison bedding collection, or mix-and-match to create your own polished bedscape!

Dutch Euro Shams

Give your bedding a grand update with our Metallic Dutch Euro Shams. At 27x37, these pillows are the height of a regular Euro Sham and the width of a King Sham. Two Dutch Euro Shams will perfectly span a King size bed, while one will fit across a Twin. 


Styling Madison

We had a lot of fun styling Madison! Barclay’s ensemble is subdued enough to mix with other colors, or the cool tones can speak for themselves. With both gold and silver accents, these pieces are as versatile as they are beautiful. 

We styled this posh collection on the Odette Fabric Canopy Bed from Bernhardt. Just like the bedding, this bed frame has a classic silhouette with a modern finish. Its hammered steel frame and upholstered head and foot boards put a spotlight on texture and craft. A Paradox Ivory Nightstand from Universal and lamp from Port 68 continue the mix of modern and elegant stylings. Eastern Accents brand Reverie Curtain Panels in Pearl even make an appearance! Madison's simple color scheme allows all these details to shine.
