Custom Bedding with Authentic Home Interior Design Services

Custom bedding can make all the difference when creating just the right look in the most intimate room of your house, the bedroom. I always try to have people invest in custom bedding so it is unique to you and your home. It can also be difficult to find just the right colors, patterns and textures with store bought linens to coordinate with a new look or vision you are trying to achieve for this very personal and special room in the house. Quality is also a factor; with custom made bedding, you know you are getting quality fabrics, craftsmanship and longevity in your linens.

Here is a before picture of a master bedroom ready for the furniture, linens and interior design touches.  The after picture shows the warmth and personal style the fabric collection brings to the room creating a unique look for this homeowner.

The custom bedding for this trundle bed creates a sophisticated, pulled-together look that most likely could not be achieved with store bought linens.

I also love working with different seasonal fabrics on either side of a duvet so all you need to do is flip over the duvet with the seasons.  Another design idea I like to use is adding an upholstered headboard and/or slipcover. Again working with changes in the seasons and tastes, you can have 2 or more slipcovers made for the headboard and change them out easily with the seasons.

There are unlimited possibilities when it comes to custom bedding. With Authentic Home Interior Design we work with you to select the fabrics and  oversee the creation of your beautiful linens to ensure you get exactly what you want for your rooms.

Bedroom Sanctuaries

I was inspired by these beautiful, serene bedroom images to share with you my views on the importance of creating a peaceful space in your home.   

I so often find that the master bedroom is the last room in the home to be transformed.  The family room or kitchen is often the focus of attention.  Yet in order to give energy back to yourself or to your family, you need a place of restful retreat.  A bedroom should not be cluttered with “stuff” or have energy zappers such as tv’s/dvd’s or anything else high tech in them.  Your sanctuary needs to be a space for you to renew and refresh your energy.   

This is the time of year we all are hibernating in our homes.  Perhaps a new paint color with a new set of draperies or a new duvet cover will create that sanctuary for you.  Why not transform your bedroom this month and experience your own transformation.
