BALANCE AESTHETICS & COMFORT
We want our bedrooms to be our sanctuaries,
so start with the idea that your linens
can be the canvas on which you build
that sanctuary. As Michelle Klein, CEO
of Italian luxury lifestyle brand SFERRA,
puts it, “We firmly believe that [people]
should not have to choose between comfort
and aesthetics; these should go hand
in hand.” So how do you do it?
Invest in luxury bedding. It’ll look good
and feel good. This may mean exploring
different luxury linen retailers to find
the right one for you, but Klein offers
this tidbit: “To me, what constitutes
luxury is quality and craftsmanship.”
Craftsmanship equates to the artistry
and the precision of the work that goes
into producing the linens. And quality
materials include things like linen, silk,
Egyptian cotton, satin, bamboo or other
organic materials, as well as lustrous
sateen and percale weave fabrics.
Find a retailer with a range of colors
and textures to choose from so that
you cannot only enhance your bedroom’s
décor but also create a personal haven.
“Textural geometric patterns continue to
stand out as being important in design,”
explains Klein. While textured linen bed
sheets offer a luxurious feel, any kind of
texture can provide a more pleasant (and
sensory) sleep experience.
Choose calming colors. Soothe your
soul with cool hues such as blues and
nature-inspired greens, as well as soft
neutrals. You can never go wrong with
a soft white. Lighter colors make spaces
feel more open and airy, and fortunately,
this spring’s color trends are on track to
visually open up our bedrooms. “Blush
tones accented with greys and neutrals
round out our palette for spring,” says
Klein.
