Tell us a bit about Secret Linen Store…
“The Secret Linen Store is a ten-year-old online business that makes beds and bedtimes better. We sell all the textiles that you need for downtime and bedtime, including bedlinen, duvets, pillows, loungewear, curtains and towels. Founded and run by sisters Molly and Harriet, who are passionate about great products and growing a business that does things in the right way for people and the planet as they go. We are colourful and creative, and we hope to make people smile as well as make them super comfy.”
What is the ethos of the brand?
“Making things better… simply put that’s our purpose. We use this phrase to encompass all that we do, from making bedrooms beautiful and making your bedtime more enjoyable, to improving supply chains and doing all we can to make minimum impact on the planet as we go.”
What makes Little Greene colours the perfect partners for your bedding?
“Oh goodness, where do I start... I think it must be texture. I LOVE the matt emulsion finish and I think that it is like no other paint. I think I was first drawn to the brand by the name ‘Mister David’ – the sunniest and happiest yellow ever. When we start planning a photoshoot, we reach for the shade card and there is always something there that works. We have a rainbow of colour, as does Little Greene so there is something from both collections to work every time. I wish we could try every different combination, what fun that would be. So many endless possibilities of colour and combinations!”
What paint colour and bedding combinations do you recommend?
“We recently took lots of our brand-new bed linens and pots of Little Greene paints out for a big photoshoot. There are heaps of lovely colour combinations there, but also…
- Our Petworth Organic White with Mister David
- Our White 100% Linen with Invisible Green
- Our Violet French Blue 100% Linen with Dock Blue
- Our Mabel bedding with Hellebore
What are some of your best tips when it comes to creating a cosy, inviting bedroom scheme?
“I’m all for a dark bedroom. I think the darker you go, the cosier your bedroom will feel. On my bed today I have Conker 100% Linen, my bedroom is Olive Colour and I love the calmness that these two dark colours create. Cosy to me also means cushions, and lots of them. I say 6 pillows is just the right amount, and if you don’t feel cosy when you jump into a bed made up like this, then you might not ever.”
