Au Lit Ma Chérie. French. Interiors. Style. That's All.

We all have the best intentions for our home housewifery, wanting to keep them beautifully pristine at all times! But life, kids, pets and partners sometimes take priority, so those well-intended cleaning routines fall by the wayside.

While there’s no greater feeling than sinking into fresh sheets after a long and tiring day, the reality is that sometimes we’re so tired, we’re just grateful for a warm and cosy bed to snooze in!

Of course, we at The French Bedroom Company are obsessed with all things beds, so we wanted to delve into this topic a little further. We’ve done a bit of research into how often sheets should be cleaned, and even sought the advice of a bed linen expert to set the record straight. We also did some research involving our team and loyal Instagram followers to find out how often they think they should change their sheets, and how often they actually do it. The results might make you itch!

How often we actually change our sheets

A beautiful scent can really set the scene in your home; whether it’s the heady aroma of fresh lavender or the sweet, floral notes of roses and peonies, your chosen scent is what gives your house its personality. Scented candles and reed diffusers are the perfect way to fragrance your home, but where should you place them in order to create the perfect ambience? Read on to find out!

Where to place scented candles

Though there’s no wrong way to place a scented candle, ther

In a world so rich in culture and diversity, there’s one thing we all have in common: we love a good snooze. That said, our sleeping habits vary wildly from country to country. For example, taking a nap during the day here in the UK might be a sign that we’re not getting enough shuteye at night, whereas in other countries napping is just a part of everyday life.

We decided to have a look into some of

Spring is here, it's no longer an optimistic mirage. Snowdrops have surfaced, crocuses are spattering colour across our lawns, we hear lawnmowers in the distance and catkins are swaying in the (slightly) warmed breeze. We take one look at the - still a bit chilly - sun drenched floral eruption happening outside our windows and want to bring that freshness in. Cue the hottest emerging interior's trend - a hark back to nature and life - natural woods softened with pretty floral prints.

Ever wondered why, even when you’ve had your full 8 hours of sleep, you simply can’t prise yourself from the comfort of your bed in the morning, when your partner is fully awake and alert first thing, but begins to drift off into slumber come early evening?

There are fewer things in this world that give such a simple pleasure than fresh bed sheets. From crisp, white cotton bed linen to a classically nostalgic William Morris print, we've refreshed our elegant bed linen collection for 2019 to ensure you get that 'new sheets' feeling every night.

Cornforth, Manor or Lamp Room - whatever the shade, we all have our go-to, favoured grey. After all, grey has been the neutral of choice in our homes for over a decade. For years we turned dialed down the temperature and turned up the blue tones - banishing warmth and dreaded yellow tones. Walls, sofas, upholstered beds, carpets and bed linen - grey felt comfortably cool; edgy yet classic; safe yet on-trend.

In need of inspiration from this year's biggest trends? Look no further than your own bedroom. While you’ll find plenty of style inspiration here at The French Bedroom Company, in 2019 boudoir-based fashion isn’t just focused on interiors. Pinterest has revealed that searches for sleep optimisation increased by 116% in 2018, reflecting a growing desire for optimal health as new year’s resolutions abound.

Calming, relaxing, peaceful and serene; it's a wonder- with this many well being buzz-words surrounding the colour blue - that it took us all so long to warm up to the coolest shade of all. But with velvet sofas, accent chairs, luxury beds, sumptuous throws and an abundance of blue-hued art work now readily available, turning blue has never been easier or more appealing.

We feel like the cats who got the cream with our ground breaking collection of 'are they really sofa beds?' luxury, British-made sofa beds. They're too stylish to be banished to the spare bedroom and so comfy your guests may never want to leave.
