I adore giving people gifts - it is certainly up there as a means of how I express my feelings and thoughts, so I take real pleasure and enjoyment in choosing and wrapping presents at this time of year. What I do find slightly challenging is coming from an upbringing surrounded by girls - I am one of three! - to now living in a house full of boys, I'm increasingly having to think outside the box! They would be much happier with a football than a lampshade! But luckily we have a large extended family so I can have my fun there.

Hairy or fluffy linen won’t have been ‘singed’, a high quality finishing process that results in a soft, smooth finish.\u003cbr\u003eStep 3: Inspect the linen for stray flecks of coloured thread or yarn.

In the bedroom, fabrics need to prioritise comfort and durability, while bathroom fabrics need absorbency, softness, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton varieties such as Egyptian, Turkish and Pima are loved for their superior quality, while bamboo can offer an eco-friendly touch. Synthetic microfibre is ideal for drying off while travelling or after sport due to its quick-drying nature, though it lacks the luxuriousness of plush cotton towels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the ultimate in softness, Turkish cotton stands unrivaled. This premium cotton is cultivated in Turkey’s Aegean region where the climate and soil yield extra-long fibres.

Imagine wrapping yourself in that!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best white hotel quality towels are a balance of plushness and absorbency, while still being quick-drying and easy to wash and maintain. A Turkish cotton bath towel with a GSM of 550-650 offers the durability, softness and absorbency you’d expect from a five-star hotel. Factors such as cotton quality, combing and yarn steaming, also contribute to a towel’s hotel quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMaintenance Tips: Keeping Your White Hotel Towels Pristine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing says spa-time more than a stack of fluffy, plush white towels. Their clean, crisp look adds a touch of luxury that instantly turns a bathroom into a stylish retreat. To keep them looking great and feeling fresh, follow these easy steps:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashing: Use a high quality detergent and skip fabric softeners which can weaken the fabric and reduce absorbency. Avoid washing towels with items that have fabric-damaging zippers or hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrying: Line dry washed towels or tumble dry on low to prevent piling – the pesky little fuzzballs that can make towels feel scratchy. Hang used towels on a towel rail instead of a door hook to prevent moisture from getting trapped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Store towels only when completely dry and keep them fresh with a bag of lavender. Replace towels every two years, or more often if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy White Towels Are a Must-Have for Your Bathroom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver wondered ‘why do hotels use white towels’? The answer’s simple: white never goes out of style.

Essential Features of High-Quality Duvet Covers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreating high quality bedding is an art involving careful craftsmanship, premium materials, and attention to detail. While thread count, or TC as it is also known, is often used as a measure of quality, ply and yarn quality are just as important in crafting the best luxury duvet covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabric: The top choice for luxury duvet covers is 100% cotton, and for good reason. Cotton is highly breathable allowing airflow to maintain an ideal body temperature. It’s also soft and cosy, durable, and naturally hypoallergenic, thanks to its tight weave.

It refers to the number of yarn strands used to create a single, thicker strand. Single-ply yarn comes from one strand of fibre, two-ply from twisting two strands together, and so on. Single-ply yarn gives you bedding that feels silky-soft against the skin. You can find out more about why we only use single ply \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/pages\/buyers-guide\" title=\"Tielle Buyers Guide\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton quality: Luxury duvet covers are crafted from single-ply long staple cotton (fibres 1 1\/4\" long). This makes your sheets soft, smooth and long-lasting. In contrast, short staple cotton has exposed fibres which can make sheets feel rough and prone to bobbling. Long staple cotton – a hallmark of all Tielle bed linen – is important for ensuring the real deal in luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThread count (TC): Thread count refers to the number of threads packed into a square inch of fabric. Generally, the higher the thread count, the smoother the linen feels. A 200 thread count percale woven sheet has a light, crisp feel, while a 300+ thread count sateen woven sheet has a silkier feel. We recommend 600tc or less for the ideal mix of durability, luxury, and practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeware: A high thread count can sometimes mean multiple yarns have been twisted together to artificially bump up the thread count. All our linen uses top-quality single threads.

Explore the Best Materials for Luxury Duvet Covers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile most people opt for cotton duvet covers, alternative materials such as silk and satin can bring a touch of va va voom to a bedroom. Additionally, weave style – whether it’s percale or sateen – can affect a cotton sheet’s sensory appeal. Percale, with its tight-knit weave, creates a smooth, crisp texture reminiscent of a freshly ironed shirt. Sateen (not to be confused with satin) offers a soft, silky feel with a gentle shine. Most top hotels use high-quality cotton bedding for its comfort, durability and timeless good looks.

We prefer it over coloured linen which fades over time, dates easily and never looks as timeless or inviting as fresh white.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmma recommends adding a statement headboard and incorporating patterns or colour popping cushions to make your bed truly inviting. Other design elements such as a rug can help to anchor the bed and tie it to the rest of the room décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInteriors expert Ben Spriggs adds, “\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tielleloveluxury.co.uk\/collections\/blankets-and-throws\" title=\"Tielle blankets and throws\"\u003eBed throws\u003c\/a\u003e are a great way to add colour and pattern, especially if you don’t want to commit to anything that’s more of any outlay price-wise. And if you’re renting, investing in good linen means you can take it with you when you move.
