Introduction
Home interiors have become one of my burgeoning passions as I get older, and I find my taste evolving and maturing like a fine wine. Among the various elements of interior design, bed linen has particularly captured my interest due to its significant impact on the overall ambiance of a bedroom.
Spending a large majority of my time traveling from luxury hotel to boutique hotel, I’ve become somewhat of an expert, especially when it comes to the little touches that make a bedroom a relaxing haven. The primary purpose of a bedroom is to provide a restful retreat, and the right bed linen plays a crucial role in achieving this.
Regardless of the decor, which is, of course, extremely important, the quality and appearance of bed linen are paramount. High-quality bed linen not only enhances comfort but also adds a touch of luxury, making your bedroom feel like a five-star hotel suite. In this post, I’ll share my insights on selecting the best bed linen and accessories to create a luxurious and inviting bedroom space.
How to Create a Luxury Bedroom with Bed Linen
Bed Linen
For me, I feel unsettled if the linen isn’t brilliant white. Highly coloured and patterned bed linen sends me into almost a fear. I don’t get a good night sleep in a patterned bed set.
The devil is in the details
You’re looking to create a luxury hotel-style bedroom you should always opt for white linen. I do, however, think that small piping details (or a waffle) do add a certain je ne sais quoi!
When deciding on bed linen have a look at the thread count. Thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. Generally, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet. And the more likely it will wear well-or even soften-over time. Good sheets range anywhere from 200 to 800, although you’ll occasionally see numbers over 1,000.

You also want to ensure that you buy bed linen as a set and keep the sets together and most importantly wash them together so they stay the same white. It never does any harm when washing to add a whitener to keep those covers brilliant white.
Scatter cushions
In my opinion, you can never have too many cushions accessorising your bed. A mixture of square and rectangular scatter cushions are a great way to create a luxury hotel look. By using rich fabrics such as velvet and again waffle, alongside cushions with a substantial filling, you’re heading to creating sheer opulence in your own bedroom.
Throw
Finish off your look with a throw, from faux fur or knitted to thick padded, choose a throw in a neutral or accentuating colour to really complete the luxury bed look. Have some fun with the positioning of your throws or use two, with different textures to create a totally different look.
Conclusion
Home interiors have become a passion of mine as I get older, and my taste continues to refine, much like a fine wine. With my extensive travel experience, hopping from luxury hotels to boutique inns, I’ve gained a keen eye for the little touches that transform a bedroom into a relaxing haven.
Among the various elements of bedroom decor, bed linen stands out as one of the most crucial aspects. For a truly luxurious, hotel-like feel, I always opt for brilliant white linen. High thread count sheets, such as those produced by The Lyndon Company, offer unparalleled comfort and durability, enhancing the overall sleeping experience.
Details like small piping or waffle textures can add that extra touch of elegance, while maintaining a crisp, clean aesthetic. Pairing your bed linen with an array of scatter cushions in rich fabrics and a well-chosen throw can elevate your bedroom to new heights of opulence.
Remember, the devil is in the details. Consistently washing your linen sets together and adding a whitener ensures they stay immaculate. With these tips, you can create a bedroom that not only looks stunning but also serves as your personal sanctuary.
