Paper snowflakes

Sometimes in life, it’s little indulgences that really enhance the everyday, like curling up on the sofa under a cosy throw with a favourite magazine or slipping into clean sheets after an indulgent bath. Is it just me or does sleep really seem to come more easily and more satisfyingly when you nestle down beneath fresh, clean bed linen? It’s the same story in the morning when you wake up to the touch of your favourite sheets on your skin. You might not want to get out of bed, but you invariably feel more ready to face the day after a good night’s rest.

If you really want to spoil yourself (or your guests), Gingerlily’s luxury bed linen is effortlessly elegant, exuding the undeniable glamour of silk in an alluringly understated way. Silk is naturally hypo allergenic too, so silk filled duvets and pillows are a healthy alternative to traditional bedding, particularly for allergy sufferers, as they are resistant to dust mites.

For their 2013 collection Italian textile house Rubelli have taken the contemporary reinterest in cabinets of curiosities as one of their inspirations.
