Luxor Linens Wants to Make Your Private Life Blissful

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

When Jack Nekhala and Mike Nusinkis decided to create personal and home textiles like no other, they started Luxor Linens. Nekhala, an Egyptian, sourced cotton from the Nile Delta and the two designed pieces like the Buonaparte Robe and Valentino Sheets to showcase what truly luxurious linens could feel like. But let's face it, Egyptian cotton is so popular that there could be more of the fine, white stuff in Iowa than in North Africa.

What makes Luxor special are the details and finish-work of its pieces, from the baby linens to the sheet sets, and the customer service: you can call their offices at hours normally reserved for police stations and get your questions and issues answered, or leave a message if they have really gone for the night. When we called at midnight and got an answering machine, we didn't leave a message. The next morning we checked our phone to find a voicemail from Jennifer in customer service saying she had a missed call from our number and inviting us to call back. That, friends, is customer service. And we're talking about linens...

When it comes to tailored and irregular orders like circular or yacht bedding, the owners themselves will take the call to make sure your goods are everything you expect. And once you place your order, everything else is done by hand: note cards, monogramming and packaging.

Luxor also makes private label linens for boutique hotels so there's a chance you've enjoyed them already. Dr. Phil, InStyle and Elle have all sung the praises, and we hear that singing continues even while you're sleeping between the company's Leonardo sheets. In Egyptian.

Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections Inspired By Artists

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Artists were the inspiration behind Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections. The beautiful collections are an homage to both artists and the places that inspired them. The Venice is influenced by American Impressionist, John Singer Sargent. In his watercolor sketches, Sargent managed to capture the grace and mystery of Venice and the shimmering colors of the water and skies surrounding the city influenced the color palette used by Frette's designers ranging from Verbena to Myrrh. Luxury bedcovers in rich metallic silks in lavender, silver and copper complete the sumptuous collection. The sensual works of symbolist Gustav Klimt served as the inspiration to the Vienna. Vienna features floral shapes of cascading wisteria as well as geometric renditions of rosette blooms. The resulting patterns reflect early 20th century art and architecture's transition to Art Nouveau from a more classicist past. The Aix collection evokes Henri Matisse. The colors reflect the richly hued landscape of the Provencal region.All are available in Frette stores and online. Prices start at $1,695 for a total set.

Savoir Beds Tailored Mattresses

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

At some point you might decide there will be no more simply making do when it comes to your bed – after all, you have your suits tailored, so why not your mattress? The 105-year-old wares made by Savoir Beds are where you should turn. At its inception, Savoir made beds so well that its Number 2 bed earned the moniker "The Savoy," and then in 1937 the actual Savoy Hotel bought the company, holding on to it until 1997.

Having supplied bedding to the world's premium hotels, Savoir knows how to make a bed that can survive the kind of punishment you don't even want to dream of. Everything is done by hand, including the starlashing of the springs in the "sprung base" for "independent vertical adjustment," (remember, these are bed springs we're talking about), and each mattress is made by hand by one person. Materials are, of course, all natural: wool, cotton, horse hair, wood.

There are four options, one of them being round, all of them numerically denoted, and they are crafted for you after the tailors at Savoir have taken your measurements. The company also manufactures a range of frames, valances, and storage options. Take a Savoir home, and the next time you want to 'sleep in your own bed' you'll be able to do it in some of the best hotels in the world.

Prices range from $8,250 to $39,750 for a complete Queen Bed Set and $10,450 to $49,750 for a complete King Bed Set. Each set includes a base, mattress and topper.

Sweet Dream Beds Introduce Your Child to Home Ownership

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Children

We aren't quite sure if we should refer to Sweet Dreams beds as beds at all. They are more like single bedroom dwellings... small enough to fit inside a room... that's inside a multi-bedroom dwelling. The Tudor Style Cottage doll house theme bed pictured has two stories, a slide on the far side and, somewhere inside all of that, a bed. We would not be surprised to find a porte-cochère, stables, and staff quarters around back...

A basic bed starts at $5,500, but that will only get you a castle motif decked out in two-tone paint only big enough for a twin bed. That's enough to give any aspiring king or queen nightmares. Throw in another $5,500 and you add room for a queen bed, a staircase with drawers and a slide, and now you're getting somewhere. One parent spent $40,000 on a custom setup, which is probably enough to keep a few other parents up at night.

There are Sweet Dreams beds for boys and girls, and each is individually designed, can be built to match your existing decor, and hand-painted in any way Cinderella – or Peter Pan – might wish. They might not turn your children into actual royalty, or pirates, but they will probably be good for a few weeks of happily counting sheep...

Incredibeds. You Won't Believe Them, but Your Kids Will

by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Children

Your child has a lot of dreams: owning a dragon, figuring out how to break childproof things, watching one billion episodes of Spongebob consecutively. If your child also dreams of sleeping on a giant stuffed animal – whether that be a dog or, oh, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Incredibeds could have what you need.

In the case of Incredibeds, the stuffing of the animal is an actual bed – you simply roll the various parts of your animal of choice over the mattress and box spring. The arrangement comes in five pieces: head, two arms and two legs, and a tail. Currently they'll fit on twin and twin XL beds, and you can add a zipper bumper sheet to protect against accidents. Should there be an accident anyway you can throw the pieces into the washer, which makes them easier to clean than traditional stuffed animals.

For even larger accidents, say Fido has a field day with a tail, you can order any replacement pieces individually. Best of all, Incredibeds says that if you believe in nighttime creatures, their wares will be all the protection needed. Because what kind of monster is going to hide under a Tyrannosaurus, even a T. Rex with a big, toothy grin?

Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

You can spend all kinds of time and energy decorating your bedroom with accessories and accents to get a look that makes a statement, or you could just get a bed like this Dylan Designer Contemporary Bed. Its design leaves it looking like it's floating, supported only by the one side. It's constructed of metal with soft leather upholstery and is available in five colors and two sizes.

It's so simple it will blend well into many different styles of decor, although I think it will look best when not surrounded by a lot of clutter or detail. $5,456

Aitutaki Bamboo Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

This Aitutaki Bamboo Bed is big, bold, and beautiful, but in a completely understated and natural way -- if that makes any sense. The sheer white curtains bring romance to the large bamboo pillars, which are available in 3 stain colors to match your decor. I love almost all 4 post canopy style beds but I think my favorite part about this one is the handmade and completely organic and natural appearance of the bamboo beams, with the end-grain and knuckles clearly visible. Plus it's great that it's made of sustainable materials. $4000

The Float Bed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Just float. Doesn't that sound awesome? Especially at the end of a long stressful day when you're getting ready for bed. The Float is a bed from Max Longin furniture design, and it's based on the concept of a "central point of rest to which everything leads in a pliable and soft way." It moves when you move, and no matter where you sleep it balances itself. It's very simple, organic, and peaceful looking, although choice of bedding is critical as it could easily lose its appeal if buried in blankets.

And to make things even better the bed ecologically dismantles and forms its own transportation case. $6,200-$7,600
