SELF-INDULGENCE AT HOME: MONOGRAMMED BEDLINEN.

Monogrammed bedding is an excellent way to add a little bit of elegance to the bed, definitely the ultimate in a well designed bedroom. Sheet sets, pillow cases, and shams can be personalised with any of our signature monograms. In this gloomy period of recurring crisis for the world outside, I find that the best way to try not to feel overwhelmed and depleted by the events is a little of self-indulgence, to feel spoilt in the comfort of your home.

Here is my small selection of both personal and heirloom monogrammed bedlinen.

- The Chain collection by Rivolta Carmignani, entirely manufactured in Italy,  has an essential, contemporary, yet classic design. From the historic archives of the company, the refined Chain motif, once selected for the suites of the most prestigious hotels in the world, has been now revised in new colours, Pearl grey and Capri blue embroidery on luxury, pure cotton sateen white bedlinens. I chose the second colour combination, perfect for a marine-inspired holiday house bedroom.

- Bespoke Egyptian Bedding cotton 600 threads bedlinen with either "ton-sur-ton" or contrasting monogram and lace trimming, made by a French expert embroiderer and perfect for our Provençal style guest room.

- Old-style, customised cotton percale bedlinen from my mother's trousseau, whose ivory shade feels soft yet fresh and gives a relaxed feeling to her bedroom, while the delicate yet ornate monograms and décor all around the edges add elegance to the ambience.

Of course, monogrammed sheet sets can be also a wonderful and personal wedding gift, but in this case of course, when making our choice, it is better to match the monogram style to the style of the bedroom to which it is destined, either classic or modern, since there are plenty of options in both versions, as you can see in the following pictures.
