How to style the perfectly relaxed but luxurious bed!

Sponsored by Sheridan

It’s the stylist’s secret everyone wants to know: how to make your bed look that perfect blend of luxuriously comfortable but not too ‘done’. Well, lucky for you, we have the answers for you today. Check out this great video tutorial from linen giants Sheridan and you’ll soon be making your relaxed-looking bed like a pro!

Do you sleep in linen? I have plenty of it in my own (extensive!) bedding collection and I love the texture of its slight crumple. I just love that relaxed look. The bed in the video has been made with Sheridan’s Abbotson range, which features linen flat and fitted sheets, quilt covers, bed covers and pillowcases. It was launched in 2011 and has fast become a bestseller.

There’s a range of colours so it’s up to you if you want to go more matchy-matchy or mix things up with some contrast; perhaps a dark sheet and pillowcases under a crisp white quilt. The barely blue Breeze is a fresh new colourway for this year.

While linen is known for looking more casual, there’s something so luxurious about those natural fibres. And this being Sheridan, you’re getting some pretty top notch textile! After researching linens from all over the world for a number of years, they developed their own with fibres sourced from Belgium. The thickness of the yarn was considered and countless fibres tested to arrive at the final product years later.

To the unconverted, linen has a reputation for feeling a little bit scratchy, so they made sure theirs was the softest. What I love about linen is how it gets better and softer with every wash, which is why I invested in mine last year!

How do YOU make YOUR bed? Do you love this look? Will you be trying it for yourself at home?

Win latest Rachel Castle grown up (but not TOO grown up) linen

Castle’s new 100% Belgian linen is dyed the softest ice grey you’ve ever seen, says Rachel Castle. “All wintery in winter but oh so summery in summer, I personally love sleeping in linen, and love the way it washes over time into that antique scrunchy ‘I’ve had it forever’ kind of look so I’m dead excited about this range. ”

“Our quite serious and grown up bed (ooh, never let us grow up entirely!) still has a twinkle in its eye, the antique wash pillowcases to match come printed with rust clouds, charcoal scallops and our signature white spots,” Rachel adds.

“We’ve wanted to do linens for so long now. We needed to find the right supplier, the right linen, just the right mix of look and feel, and all for the right price (they’re excellent by the way), so we hope you love them too. A nod to classic with a big cheeky wink. Who said sophistication couldn’t be fun?”
