Bedroom style

French bedroom styles vary – romantic, Madame de Pompadour style, sophisticated, Provencal, country home, Parisian. But the one thing that French bedrooms have in common is a love of good bedlinen. It’s only really quite recently that duvets have become commonplace and in fact many hotels and homes still use sheets and covers. Good quality material and linen are the preferred choice – after all we spend a third of our lives in bed!

5 minute chat with bedding style experts La Chambre Paris

Tell us how La Chambre Paris began

We know that our best days always follow a great night's sleep, especially with kids. Before creating La Chambre, we searched for high quality but affordable bedding in France and we just couldn't find any. So the idea was born - why not create our own top-of-the-line bed sheets that respect the environment and focus on the well-being of those who sleep in them. And it had to be at a fair price. We visited numerous textile mills in the search for quality materials and a partner who shared our values and support sustainable production. And we sell direct so that we can keep the price down.

What makes La Chambre unique?

We only sell three styles of bedding: Washed linen, Sateen collection, Percale collection. We aim to make the whole process of choosing the right bed linen less complicated. Instead of focusing on thread count, we help customers decide what they want their bedding to feel like and look like - with of course fabulous French flair. It also means less waste as our products are never outdated.

Sleep is a hot topic more than ever right now - what’s new for 2021?

Quality sleep is so important, and people are much more aware that quality products really do help. A good night’s sleep has a direct impact on our well-being.
