BE INSPIRED

Sinking into luxurious hotel bedding is a feeling like no other; with a pillow
that covets your head, sheets that drape you in luxury and a mattress
that sculpts with your every whim. We believe that heavenly feeling should be
achieved and appreciated night after night in the comfort of your own home.
From the ultra plush pillow experience to the crisp sumptuous bedlinen – your
complete sleeping experience should be that of pure indulgence
from the very second your head meets the pillow.

Inspired by the luxury of the world’s finest hotels, Peacock Blue Hotel
plays out this story of indulgent luxury. Modelled on that very feeling,
encapsulating it with every sham, accessory, sheet and cover, we design
and we test to ensure that hotel feel is brought to you at home,
once designed to absolute precision.

The hotel feel and aesthetic combined is that of unrivalled perfection.
Autumn / Winter 18, see’s a dial up in colouration for Peacock Blue Hotel
presenting a collection of seductive silvers, cashmere, amethyst,
Prussian blues to deep dark caviar.

2. Keep it simple, always.

In some rooms I like to keep walls and floors in a light neutral colour and run
the same colours throughout the interior to create the illusion of space.
This calm background is the perfect backdrop for carefully considered
bedding and cushions, plus paintings, artisan rugs and ceramics that mean
a lot to me.

3. If it’s not any use, throw it away.

We all keep things we don’t use. Decluttering has an instant and positive
effect on our interiors. Having fewer things helps us feel happier. It’s this
kind of mindset that keeps us all in the moment.

4. Travel, travel, travel.

Creativity needs fed. I am designer, and I find inspiration all around.
That’s why I like travelling to different cities as I feel each place has its own
particular light, colour, architecture and sense of style.

Here at Bedeck we work with a network of trusted suppliers across the globe. Upon meeting with one of our suppliers recently we learnt how leftover textiles from our orders are used and felt compelled to bring the story to our customers.

A supply team we have worked with for many years, based in India talked us through how for quality reasons production of textiles can usually over run by between 5 to 7% and it is with this overrun, rather than Bedeck request it be shipped back to Ireland, our supplier donates on to help with a very worthy cause.

Donated to a Non Profit Organisation, who work with groups of woman from underprivileged backgrounds to teach them skills of embroidery and stitching. The extra fabric, thread and accessories, allows them to craft small bags, earrings, key chains to needle-worked crafts, all hand-made within the held workshops. Our supplier detailed how the workshops in turn give the Indian woman a sense of independence and purpose.

Items are then sold off to raise funds to keep the Non Profit Organisation going. A very recent project for the group of woman saw the production of reusable fabric bags; sold onto small grocers to discourage the use of plastic alternatives. We are one of many customers of this supplier in India but we are thankful to be a part of this great cause and we will continue our support.

The 2018 Murmur Collection continues our relaxed journey into a world of subtle pattern and colour. First launched back in 2015 at Maison et Objet in Paris, and designed to embrace the idea of slow living, our simple back to basics approach emphasises the natural, using cottons, wools, linens, wood and stoneware.

A subtle homeware collection where every pattern has been hand-crafted and painted by Murmur’s team of designers in Ireland, and every product has been crafted and sourced from specialist makers around the world. Introducing beautiful teal and charcoal ceramics to layer up with our core grey collection, cushions in a chartreuse pop sit alongside the soft dove grey bedding, soft washed denim blues, teals and charcoal all feature. This is a simple, refined, but very relaxed palette that’s complemented with an exquisite attention to detail.

For SS18 we introduce serveware in the form of small and large centrepiece trays and coasters made on the Island of Oland, Sweden using Scandinavian birch wood. Our home fragrance collection completes the ambience of the collection with a palette of natural fragrances, each blended and hand poured in the UK, each designed to last day or night. Sakura blossom brings a bright, fruity raspberry and rhubarb scent. Ebony Mist is pink peppers and spice on top of a deep woody base. Rare Earth is vertiver and cedar wood with hint of spice. With single wick candles made from 100% natural soy wax and a high fragrance content, and a diffuser which lasts up to eight weeks, this range

Always keeping an eye on young emerging talent, here at Bedeck we believe in supporting the next generation of young designers, so year on year we run various graduate placement programmes and awards showcasing the very best of local talent. Last week for the second year in a row, 1st and 2nd prizes were awarded to two final year students with the Bedeck ‘Emerging Textile Designer’ award in conjunction with the University of Ulster.
