Inspired by nature, our latest collection of bed linen includes delicate hand drawn foliage strongly influenced by Australian flora.

Designed right here in Melbourne, our artist in residence used a range of Australian native flora to inspire two of our new quilt cover sets to inspire your home décor and help create a beautiful bedroom to come home to.

Creating a beautiful place to relax, our Eucalyptus quilt cover set uses muted greys and blue greens inspired by the colours of the Eucalyptus tree.  These colours coordinate beautifully with most decors and help encourage relaxation by creating a harmonious hue.

The delicate hand painted background of wattle, kangaroo paw, eucalyptus and banksia all merge-together to create a gorgeous canvas for the bold and beautiful banksia that makes a modern statement to this quilt cover set.

The delicate sketched details stand out as an artistic piece inspired by nature, and a beautiful addition to your bedroom.

The Australian Daintree forest is a spectacular region in Queensland, recognised for its stunning tropical rainforests and proximity to The Great Barrier Reef.  One of the oldest continuous living tropical rainforests in the world, our artist was inspired to share the uniqueness of the foliage and nature here through her work.

Creating a relaxing tropical design that would create a feeling of calm in most bedrooms, it’s delicate hand drawn Hibiscus and ferns on a soft grey background give a modern feel and a new edge design, creating a contemporary floral design.

The black and white design inspired by nature is a beautiful addition to the collection and we admire the fine detail in her work as we share this quilt cover design with you.

Pair both of these designs with fresh white sheets for a luxurious addition to your bedroom and plump up your bedroom for that tropical resort style feel with crisp white Euro pillowcases to create a tropical holiday atmosphere in your home.

Those fresh sheets and that extra layer of luxe just has us all wanting to order room service and stay in.

Bring that hotel luxe feel into your home by investing in a few premium items that will have you enjoying that feeling for years to come.

Then key to enjoying your bed each, and every night is layering it with toppers, quilts and pillows that are soft to the touch and covered with luxurious cottons to keep your bedding feeling fresh.

Begin with the bottom layer of your bed.  With any mattress you want to ensure you protect it from any soiling or accidental spills.  This will help maintain the life of your investment and keep it in great condition.  Add a waterproof mattress protector as your base layer, for practicality.

Now for the luxe, choose a topper that has a soft cotton cover and add this to your mattress for an added layer of loft to lay on at the end of the day.  Without compromising the firmness of your mattress, a topper adds a soft layer that moulds to your body shape as you sleep, giving you the feeling of laying on a premium quilt.

Out of all the bedding, the sheets and pillow cases are against the skin, so getting the right quality sheet is important. Look for cotton rich sheets with a thread count that is comfortable to you, we like a 300 thread count 100 cotton fitted and flat sheet to keep us comfortable all night long.  A top sheet will also help protect your quilt from soiling and increase the lifespan of your bedding. Add some great quality sheets to your bed before adding your quilt.

A quilt is a personal choice that depends on preference and the climate of where your hotel at home is located.  For tropical climates a light cotton quilt will have you sleeping comfortably, in the fluctuating states wool or down & feather can be the key to a great night’s sleep.

Choose a quilt to suit your sleeping style and climate and add this layer to your hotel style bed, add a quality quilt cover set in a style you love and a fabric that makes you want to touch it and you are almost ready to climb into your hotel style bed.

Add layers of pillows for that luxurious look as well as to give you the option to prop yourself up to read a book or relax in bed.  Allow yourself to add a pillow that is firm enough for you to sleep comfortably as well as another in a material you love to give you the option to change for comfort easily when needed. Add pillow cases and covers in coordinating fabrics to complete the look.  

Investing in bedding that will have you feeling like royalty each and every night is something that comes with growing to learn that you deserve the best.

It is easy to up your bedroom styling game with just a few key items.  When you are styling a bedroom, it is important to keep comfort in mind as well as the look.

Your comfort is important to keep you relaxed and ready for sleep in your bedroom.  This means your emotional comfort as well as physical.  Your emotional comfort will come from having shades or colours and textures that help you feel relaxed.  Physical comfort will come from choosing the correct pillow, quilts and bedding to keep you comfortable throughout the night.

Keeping your décor to suit your personal style and in colours or shades that you love will help you achieve a room that helps you be relaxed and calm at the end of a hard day.

Start with the physical comfort and style of your bedroom by upgrading your bedding with products that will have you feeling relaxed in no time.  If you like the plump feel of a topper on your mattress invest in one that will give you that soothing feeling each time you jump into bed.

Layer your bed with a quilt that suits your sleeping needs.  Choose Australian wool or down and feather for a luxurious lofty look and size up for the option to drape the bedding casually over the bed for a relaxed feel (Sizing up also helps with any sleepers who like to steal the covers!). For a queen size bed, purchase king for this deluxe look.

Add extra pillows to your bed to achieve the cosy relaxed look.  Choose a supportive pillow in a style that will help you sleep well and add a few extra pillows with a lot of loft to cosy up to while you relax.  These decorative pillows will look great with pillowcases that coordinate with your chosen quilt cover set.

Once you have taken care of the styling and comfort of your bed,  decking it out in a quilt cover set that you love is the way to a super relaxing room that will echo your personality and have you enjoying the space just that little bit more.

Choose a quilt cover set that has a hint of your room colour in it to help tie in the look, or coordinate it will a key piece of art, decor or furniture for a cohesive look.

Look for coordinating European pillowcases and cushions when purchasing your quilt cover set.  Adding some Euro pillows to your ensemble will add a little height to your styling and also gives you the option to really cosy up when retreating to the bedroom for some me time. Euro pillows and cushions can also be added to a lounge chair in the room to pull the look together throughout the room.

The options are endless when it comes to adding a little style to your bedroom.  Colour, patterned prints, florals or texture can all be added by changing a few accessories when you feel the need for a new look.

Invest in quality bedding to keep you comfortable at night, then style however makes you feel like you never want to leave, and you have reached you’re A game in styling.

Quality towels can add a luxurious feel just by coordinating colours and textures to suit your décor.

Adding a touch of colour to an otherwise neutral bathroom can really impact the mood in the room.  By using a colour darker or brighter than your normal style you can change the look dramatically and help you fall in love with your bathroom all over again, without an expensive upgrade.

If you like to mix it up a little, find a colour you love and experiment by using different shades of that colour in your bathroom, try light grey to deep charcoal or black or light blue to bright teal.  Keeping it coordinated even in the busiest of bathrooms will help to give that relaxed feel.

Ensuring you invest in the highest quality towel that suits the feel that you prefer will keep your bathroom looking fresh and luxurious for years to come not to mention give you that day spa feeling whenever you use them.

Find a towel that you like the feel of as well as the look.  We love a fluffy, soft towel with a high cotton count, premium cotton that will stand the test of time and remain to give that premium hotel feel for a long while. They not only feel amazing and dry well, they look inviting, enticing you to relax and take some time out in your bathroom space.

Storing your clean towels in the bathroom as décor can be a great addition to help achieve that luxurious feel.  Storing rolled towels in a basket or shelf in your bathroom can help add a little touch of luxury and an added touch of colour.  Alternatively using hooks or ladders in the bathroom can help store excess towels while helping to keep them dry, and well-aired.  A great addition to a busy bathroom.

Giving your bathroom an update can be as easy as adding some fresh new towels to the space and coordinating the look throughout. Keeping a few sets of quality towels on hand can not only allow for that ‘fresh towel’ feel by rotating regularly, keeping a few sets in different colours can update the look and feel of your bathroom each time you add fresh towels to the space.

We recommend purchasing additional bath mat’s and hand towels with each set of towels you invest in. This allows for regular laundering of these frequently used towels and helps avoid excess use of your regular bath sheets or bath towels for handwashing and frequent use.

Care instructions

Always follow the care instructions included on the towel.  Avoid products that may bleach the colour and we recommend not using any fabric softeners.
