Oysters have always denoted luxury and charm. Not only are they a delicacy to enjoy at the table, the oyster is known to turn a grain of sand into a beautiful pearl. It’s this organic pearlescence that’s offered in our new colour palette; a touch of silvery white in the cool morning light turns into a warm glow in the afternoon sun.

Nothing comes close to the feeling of waking up in your own bed (the bed you chose because it has just the right combination of firm to soft), and feeling your equally familiar bedding snuggled around you. Imagine if you could take this feeling with you wherever you travel? With our beautiful, high quality bed linen, we believe you can enjoy this amazing feeling no matter where you rest your head.

“A touch of silvery white in the cool morning light turns into a warm glow in the afternoon sun.”

The Falucca Fine Linen Signature Collection is made using high quality Egyptian Cotton fabric in our Cape Town studio. We check and double check every detail to ensure the final product is not only perfect but long-lasting too, so that you can enjoy your Falucca for years to come.

Here are just a few ways the Oyster palette will elevate your sleep experience and bedroom decor:

African plains

Escape the frenetic energy of the city, and feel as if you’ve been swept off to the wide, open space of the African plains the minute you slip into your bed – beautifully made up in the Falucca Linen Oyster with a single satin stitch detail in Shadow.

The natural tones of the Oyster makes it perfectly suited to being incorporated into an earthy decor look.

Boudoir in Paris

Spend a languid and sensual morning in bed catching up on rest and indulging in the finer things in life. Luxuriate in the satin-like texture of your high quality Egyptian Cotton Oyster bed linen from Falucca Linen and feel truly 20th Century Parisian!

For this look, we chose a double Oxford border in Oyster. It’s an understated yet luxurious detail that offers unfussy elegance. For something a little different, we used Shadow as the first border.

Casual coastal

Let the sound of laughter and waves lapping the beach be the inspiration for your Oyster palette decor direction. Imagine the simple pleasure of cool, natural bedding enveloping sun-kissed skin after a wonderful day spent outdoors. The fresh ocean air and the high quality Egyptian Cotton fabric combine to give you the most outstanding sleep experience.

Charcoal has been instrumental through the ages in every part of the world, serving as both an essential fuel, and a tool for artists.

You’ll love the colour charcoal in our 800 thread count Egyptian Cotton fabric. It’s inspired by the warm, earthy tones of the original substance and works so well with a variety of beautiful interior styles.

To demonstrate this, we’ve created three beautiful bedroom looks from the grand masters of Dutch art, to a touch of the Afropolitan, and finally, a nod to Contemporary luxe.

As the focal point of the room, your bed is critical in your bedroom decor.

By using classic detail in your bedding, for example, an oxford border or a satin stitch, the Charcoal colour palette will set the tone, becoming the foundation of your bedroom decor style. But most importantly, Falucca Linen’s Signature Collection in Charcoal is utterly luxurious and comfortable, so you can get the best night’s sleep, time and again.

Which bed decor style do you love most?

Grand masters

Bed linen style: Single satin stitch in charcoal. A subtle, yet deeply luxurious detail.

Chiaroscuro shadows are offset by pastoral scenes abloom with spring flowers in many Renaissance painters’ landscape scenes. To achieve this look, opt for pastel velvets to intermingle with botanical prints. Add a ceramic water jug and perhaps a knitted throw as a finishing touch.

Afro pattern

Bed linen style: Criss cross single satin stitch in Oyster creates beautiful linear detail that directs the eye across the bed.

Pattern and textures play harmoniously against the earthiness of the charcoal to achieve a warmth that invites you in with just the right amount of sophisticated showiness.

Contemporary luxe

Bed linen style: Plain oxford

The beautiful metallic trend is perfectly suited to the deep charcoal palette. Incorporate several different metallic references without fear to create something truly spectacular.

Still sleeping in the ever-popular white? Studies have shown that darker colours promote better sleep, and natural greys are high up on the list.

“All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadows.” ~ Leo Tolstoy

At once calming and unassuming, with a warm undertone, Shadow is easy to work with to create breathtaking bedroom decor suitable to a vast range of styles.

Experience truly sensual sleep when you slip into your Falucca Fine Linen bedding. The natural fibres of the Egyptian Cotton offer ideal breathability, working to regulate your body temperature.

The Scandi touch

Traditionally styled with touches of flax linen and wool to create texture, we’ve given the Scandinavian style an update by incorporating natural tones that still adhere to the style’s principles of harmony and simplicity. A simple Oxford border offers a neat, classic detail that frames a beautifully styled bed.

Understated luxury

By adding a single satin stitch detail in Oyster to the Shadow, we bring a modern interpretation of a classic detail. We think this detail deserves formal styling to accentuate the clean, crisp line of the satin stitch.

All our Egyptian Cotton fabric is woven using a sateen weave, which achieves a satin-like feeling against your skin. It also gives the fabric a beautiful sheen when ironed, adding an opulent lustre showcased particularly well in the colour Shadow.

Ultra monochrome

The deep, warming Charcoal and soothing Shadow are merged in a reversible duvet cover in this look to create effortless style.

We add the finishing touch with bold border pillowcases that use Charcoal in the oxford border. It’s a “no frills, no fuss” look that’s easy to put together.

We don’t all have the privilege of having a fireplace in our bedroom, but by imitating some of Mother Nature’s tricks we can easily cozy up our bedrooms this winter.

1. Warm glow

Light colour has a huge influence on our perception of temperature. Yellow light creates a warmer atmosphere, while white light can feel cold and clinical, so change the globes in your bedroom to “warm white” to create a warm ambience.

2. Paint a wall

Choose a feature wall and paint it a dark, warm colour or choose a wallpaper with texture and depth. Whether charcoal grey or brick red these colours all have a warming effect.

3. Light your own fire

Create your own “fire” with a collection of scented candles. Choose candles in heavy glass holders or beautiful stands with warm winter aromas of sandalwood, cinnamon and vanilla.

4. Get the feels with texture

Mother Nature if full of textures. Bring them into your bedroom in scatter cushions, upholstery, throws and carpets to create depth and ultimately, a cosy look and feel.

5. Snug in a rug

Insulate the floor around and under your bed with well chosen rugs and remember keep the colour neutral. A slightly higher pile in a bedroom works well. If your floors are carpet-free, a loose rug is the answer. Remember to get the size right; you should be able to walk comfortably around your bed on the rug.

6. Draw those curtains

Cold penetrates glass very quickly so create a barrier using block out lining on curtaining to keep the cold at bay. It also has the benefit of keeping out the light for a great afternoon snooze, but remember that just as they will keep out the cold, heavy curtains will also keep out the sun, so fling them open on those sunny days and let in the warm sunshine.

Here are a few important tips on how to make this space irresistably epicurean:

Texture is vital for sensuality

This is especially true for your bedding choices since this comes in direct contact with your bare skin. If you’re planning to spend a lot of time frolicking – and resting – in bed, then it makes sense to kit your bed out with luxury bedding that not only feels great, but is also kind to your skin.

Natural fabrics are essential to ensure comfort and yet still offer textural variation that will help enhance the sensual experience. High quality Egyptian Cotton in a sateen weave is satin smooth to the touch, while true linen is feather light with a handsome texture.

Comfort really is key

Your mattress

First off, is your mattress comfortable? If you’re finding any sagging in your mattress, it’s time to consider investing in a new one. A good mattress is the foundation for great rest, so don’t compromise.

Temperature control

Controlling temperature is the next item on the comfort agenda and it need not be high tech. To start off, place a rug beneath the bed to insulate the bed area from any cold air coming up from the floor, and so that your bare feet don’t have to come into contact with any cold flooring as you climb into bed. Even if your bedroom has wall-to-wall carpeting, adding a rug beneath the bed creates a feeling of luxuriousness, helping to highlight the bed as the main feature of the room.

Next up, opt for black-out curtains in your bedroom as this will enable you to shut out the world at any time of the day, control the room temperature more effectively and turn your bedroom into a cosy personal sanctuary.

Pillow talk

Two different sets of pillows, each of different densities give you the option of more or less support depending on your bedtime activity.

Throw out the distractions

Be strict with yourself and keep phones, tablets, laptops and even televisions out of the bedroom.

We’ve heard it many times before, but it’s worth hearing again: the glowing screen light from electronics has a significant impact on your body’s ability to rest. Not to mention that if your device keeps lighting up with notifications, you’ll struggle to stay focused on the sensual experiences in your bed.

Add a sensual touch

The bedroom is meant to offer a serene ambience to help you leave everyday worries at the door, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have some character. While your dominant colour palette might be tranquil tones, throwing in a few brighter colour references will help keep things stimulating and sensual. Opt for removeable colour pops such as scatter cushions, throws or blankets.
