FAQ with Olivia

What inspires your bedroom?
-
It’s honestly more about “who” inspires my bedroom – my grandmother. She was an interior designer for years and has taught me everything I (and essentially all the women in my family) need to know about appreciating great taste in a room. To this day, she walks into any room and quickly transforms it into a much more inviting, beautiful and crisp space than it was before.

What is your favorite collection at 41 Winks?
-
That’s a tough question… I’m obviously a little biased, but I’d have to say it’s a very close tie between Bowery and Rosette Ikat. Bowery adds a little more edge with our Metallic Gold and Metallic Silver Euro Shams and Velvet Pink Skull decorative pillow but maintains a feminine touch, while Rosette Ikat looks like an update version of my childhood bedroom and dorm rooms (Peter Pan syndrome to the max!). I can’t choose just one because we offer such a variety of styles – I love that each of our collections appeal to different girls of all types.

Bedroom Must have?
-
The more pillows the better. I find that mixing and matching many pillows makes a bed much more inviting, flirty, comfy and fun.

Throw Pillows or Throw Blankets?
-
You definitely need throw pillows (like I said, more pillows!) but a throw blanket is crucial. When you want to catch a few winks, read a great book or just lounge during the day watching Netflix, it’s perfect to have a throw blanket near by, like our Geo Spice Throw Blanket below! That way, you don’t have to get under your covers and mess up your (of course) already beautifully made bed.

How To: Brighten a Room?
- A bedside lamp – it can be a tall and thin standing lamp with a large shade, a small one on top of your bedside table with an intricate and colorful shade or even hanging on the wall next to you. Either way, it should be close enough that you can quickly turn it out before falling asleep, because sleeping in the dark makes for a healthier night’s sleep!
