Sophie Paterson’s signature blend of refined luxury and timeless British elegance has long captivated design lovers, and now the celebrated London and Surrey-based interior designer is bringing that sensibility to the most intimate corners of the home. Known for creating indulgent, meticulously layered spaces, Paterson is extending her aesthetic into the realm of everyday rituals with a new collection designed to elevate the bedroom and bathroom into places of retreat.
Crafted in collaboration with specialist linen designer Gilly Nicholson, the collection introduces a modern take on classic embroidery, discreet, textural, and beautifully tailored. From exquisitely scalloped pillowcases to richly detailed monograms, each piece is created to bring hotel-level indulgence to domestic living. For readers continually searching for the best bed sheets to transform their sleep sanctuary, this launch offers an irresistible marriage of craftsmanship and luxury.
Uniting the creative direction of Sophie Paterson Interiors with the artisanal expertise of Gilly Nicolson, the collection spans bed linens, plush towels, elegant robes and embroidered washbags, all conceived with the elevated, understated glamour both brands are known for. It marks a natural evolution for Paterson’s design studio, an invitation to extend the calm, curated world she creates for her clients into the tactile rituals of everyday life.
The range is arranged into several themes that reflect the natural world, childhood memories and the comfort of beloved pets. Each motif has been designed to tell a story and to bring a subtle narrative to the home.
One of the themes takes its cues from sunlit landscapes and organic shapes, with delicate interpretations of olive branches, oak leaves and botanical forms. Soft, earthy tones sit beautifully on crisp cotton, giving the pieces a calming, natural quality that suits bedrooms where serenity is the goal.
'When working with clients, we're always very particular about the linens and towels we select,' explains Sophie Paterson. 'We've worked with Gilly and the team for several years now, and we're so excited to create this beautiful collection together. We wanted to design pieces that look and feel both luxurious and livable within the home' she adds.
Personalisation is one of the collection’s most captivating features, giving every piece a sense of individuality. Bed linens, towels, and robes can be embroidered with initials in a selection of lettering styles and thread colours, creating a discreet, elegant signature that enhances the overall design. This thoughtful touch makes the pieces especially beautiful as gifts – whether for a wedding, a housewarming, or simply as something special for someone you love.
Embroidery pricing varies according to size and complexity, but each monogram is meticulously placed and stitched to sit seamlessly within the fabric, resulting in a finish that feels considered, timeless, and unmistakably British in its craftsmanship.
A particularly joyful part of the collection, aptly named 'Whispers of the Wild', depicts charming animal characters from around the world. The embroidered elephants, giraffes, and flamingos feel playful without ever feeling gimmicky, giving a subtle nod to the natural world. The soft colour palette works beautifully in a variety of schemes, whether layered over classic whites or paired with pops of colour, creating a space that feels cheerful, cosy and entirely imaginative.
For anyone looking for kids' room ideas that combine fun with longevity, these linens are a dream. They encourage layering and creativity, allowing children’s bedrooms to evolve with them while maintaining a sense of style that adults will love, too.
If you’re looking for something utterly classic, several designs in the collection take inspiration from Beatrix Potter, the iconic English author and illustrator whose Peter Rabbit tales have influenced generations. The embroidery is delicate and precise, capturing woodland creatures and foliage in a way that feels sophisticated rather than kitsch. These pieces bring a subtle narrative to a bedroom, adding character and depth without dominating the space. Layered with soft linens, muted tones, or gentle pastels, they provide a nod to heritage and storytelling while maintaining a contemporary, considered interior.
Perhaps the most instantly endearing part of the collection is a series inspired by Sophie’s darling little miniature dachshund, Pip. Her little character is captured with such affection that the designs feel almost alive, from the tilt of her ears to the bounce in her step. These embroidered portraits bring a gentle sense of humour to the range in the loveliest way, adding warmth without tipping into novelty.
These pieces make wonderful Christmas gifts, with the option to personalise, adding an extra-special touch. Personalised gifts must be ordered by 5th December, but why not keep a little luxury for yourself? After all, some indulgences are meant to be enjoyed first-hand.
