21 Tips for Creating Your Dream Bedroom!

[@heidigresh2743]

I love your use of fabric and mixing of print and pattern. No one can do this as well as Sarah!

[@sharonanderson346]

I'd love to go antiquing and thrift ing with her! She finds the best pieces and refurbishing them into new! Love her!

[@shandafetter553]

Sarah, I have seen all of your shows. My favorite things about your design is your choice of serene colors and how you purchase used furniture and have it professionally painted and reupholstered. Please show a segment on banquet seating in a coastal setting. Love your designs!

[@kmblain1]

I remember when designers said you should never have matching night stands! I love them matching! Your bedroom is gorgeous!

[@daniellelemay2696]

Matching night stands is fine, it’s when the bed frame matches the nightstands, dresser etc. When all furniture matches in the room, is what they say to stay away from.

[@michele1491]

Agreed. I prefer symmetry in room design.

[@bofizzlygroup3281]

Love this and have followed you for years. Thank you for always being so deliberate in your design ❤

[@Hunterhaunt]

Always make the bed, but not immediately after you leave it as you need to air it! Pull covers right back and open the window for at least ten mins.

[@clairetremblay3023]

Absolutely! It's going to "refresh" it. I do this each morning. Can't live without it. We are supposed to change our bed sheets at least 2 times per week (specially if you have pets at home)

[@Hunterhaunt]

@@clairetremblay3023 Yes I sometimes change every five days but mostly its changed every week, (no pets ) but with pillowcases def changed every three days.

[@AlexWilliams-qf3rp]

Oh my goodness Sarah, but I'm not surprised. Everything you do is just so classy. I love this bedroom. Earlier today I was watching Sarah's house, the split level, which is one of my absolute favorites. The bedroom in that house, is so spectacular. Man, I'd sleep in any bedroom you designed. Just love your content. ❤❤❤❤...love you and what you do. 😊😊😊

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

Thrilled to have you back on television! I have loved and watched every series you produced. Kept bringing back your terrific shows; they are classic.

[@mariemurphy3599]

Been a customer of Brooklinen since 2021, not only sheets but also towels. I bought the sheets because they are the best in keeping me cool in the evenings. Like you, I iron only the tops of my sheets, , but I do it all the time and the pillow cases too.

[@phyllisdrinnen1837]

I've discovered you again! I use to watch you a few years ago when you first purchased the off the grid lake property. There are many designers out there today but your designs are always timeless and beautiful, and also you haven't aged a day. I'm so glad I "found" you again.

[@lindaroyal8161]

All wonderful tips and the bed looks so inviting. I'm also a "make your bed daily" person. What's going on with the Island Rescue, was hoping to get a room by room video as they are designed/completed. TY

[@cynthiathurston7656]

Hello Sarah 😊 I 've been following you since your early HGTV shows. Room Service was the show that started it all for me. Thank you for sharing your talents and creative ideas with me. Each new adventure gets better and better. Keep up the good work 👏 🎉

[@truthbetold2611]

I don't go to bed without my waffle weave blanket. Having it next to my skin makes bed time super cozy.

[@sharonknorr1106]

So both you and Alexandra Gater love Brooklinen, so I guess that settles that. Really lovely room. However, my attention was constantly drawn to your shirt - I absolutely love it! Where did you get it???

[@gayleconlon7834]

Sarah you totally get me .Bet you didn't know that huh? Bcz I was finishing your sentences on this one Love all of it ,just gorgeous. But ,listen where is the rest of the tour of the new cottage? I have to see those bedrooms, oh yes I must . P S. You are def my favorite designer to watch. I learn so much

[@doanetriggs6254]

As always, excellence is your standard!! Kudos!

[@marilyneva4677]

I watched your original series when you were building your home. I actually rewatched the series a couple of years ago. I totally fell in love with the blue grey tones you used. I still love that colour palette. Your bedroom is so totally my style. One day I hope to have a big enough bedroom to do all of that. I do what I can with my small bedroom in a rented apartment with a single bed. But one day.....

[@laurenl5843]

I love your designs. Can never get enough. I'm so happy to see you back on my TV (You Tube) I don't understand why you do not have more subscribers. Brooklinen is a lovely company. 😊💙🇨🇦

[@kellylarson3020]

But Sarah, have you tried bamboo sheets yet? They are so silky and luxurious. I always love your style.

[@patriciakumar115]

Sarah, I love your videos! They're always filled with valuable design ideas. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about how to create a comfortable bedroom. You're simply the best!

[@michele1491]

Became a convert to making my bed daily during the pandemic. It makes me feel as though even if I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything in the day, at least I made my bed. It’s the small things in life.

[@АлександраГоршкова-й3т]

Sarah, thank you for inviting us into your life. Thank you for giving us very useful tips that we are looking forward to. Thank you for showing such beauty!!!

[@KMO55208]

beautiful bedroom!

[@ginacota9724]

Thanks for the tips! You’ve inspired me to give my bedroom a refresh!

[@ValyTraveler]

I love that you are posting often - I do have a enquiry - about flooring... I just moved and there - is no snow, only sand and as much as I like the flooring install - I'd like to know what kind of rugs would go great with this (also - it's all a NO SHOE zone) - to break up space or to zone off area. Such as living - dining - kitchen. or Bed - hall - bath... Thanks...

[@claudiacurrie2582]

Have followed you for years Sarah from different parts of the world, thanks for your shows! And - loving your hair in this video!!!

[@annemarievanstone1734]

Cotton and linen have been my go-to for decades. Your bedroom is stunning and most of all a peaceful place to lay your head. As my bathroom renovation is coming to a close (still waiting on countertops and a tub) how to add softness amongst all the hard surfaces.

[@sandylu52]

Well look at that Sarah, Brooklinen sateen cotton sheets..my bed too..Duvet cover, I opted for Brooklinen white Sateen..oh how loverly..loverly..loverly! ❤😊

[@graceclement5922]

I just bought a cotton/linen sheet set. So comfy! BTW baking soda is a natural alternative to bleach. I find that I don't like the faint smell of bleach. Each to their own!! Love your seating at the foot of the bed. The higher back makes it a footboard. Genius!!

[@karensaville913]

Thankyou Sarah..perfect , im in the market at present looking for a complete bed set...now i can stop going round and round in circles...😊

[@diogenes7047]

These are all great tips! Your bedroom is just lovely, serene, so inviting for a good nights rest! As always, can't wait to see more of your videos. Have a great weekend!

[@kathyberal5623]

Sarah… I would love your take on mouldings.

[@brendalorenz7091]

Thank you! I think you are the best designer!! I love to antique shop too!!

[@paigerosner8574]

I love all your content! I just wanna know what your thoughts are on all things decorating. Seasonal swaps would be nice, as would some fabric scheme building or storage ideas! Thanks for sharing so much inspiration!

[@cathievredenburg8019]

Love your videos. Tips is a great idea. Now I know what to look for in the main to pull everything together. I do have sconces. So I see you have the shade around the top of the headboard? Thank you for keeping us involved and entertained. Stay safe.

[@3_3645]

My favorite decorating you did was a farm house in the mid west, you and your collègue put together an eclectic look using thrifted finds ,re finishing and re upholstering for a new look

[@sherriwilson9226]

Do you have a link to that one or where I can find it?? Thanks

[@katherinecornette5315]

Yes! Agree! Teaching kids to make their bed is a simple way to teach some responsibility and organization. Super good points! Your style is classic and lovely! I always learn from your videos 👍❤️

[@3_3645]

I love percale, they wear to a soft feel. When new crisp and cool for summer. Sorry I'm anti sateen. Finding sheets i like is a hunt. RL had a nice line i don't know if he still does.

[@c.d.jenkins3504]

What a beautiful bedroom!

[@nicki66]

So there is a reason you are my favourite designer by a long shot. You are a true Canadian treasure, Sarah! I have never seen anything that you have done that I didn’t like. I am so not surprised that I love your bedroom! I indulged this year after 2 back surgeries in the best mattress. I always loved my bed but wow! What a difference the right bedding, mattress and pillow make! We always make our bed and on the rare occasions due to surgery or illness that I do not get out a refresh my bed it is just not as pleasant. I am still working on the lighting issue…thanks for the inspo!

[@natasha1369]

I would really love you to do a whole video on wallpaper. Prints, by colour, what style and size to pick for small to mid size rooms and coordinating paint colours. Great places to source good quality wallpaper and application tips. I have been searching for the right wallpaper for my hallway. I love blue, some shade of pink and teal or turquoise. Love roses but worried it would be too bedroomy looking. I guess I want drama but not too dark. Happy to show you my dilemma of so many doors. ❤ and find quality without a high price tag.

[@burmankennedy9807]

With you and your family being super sport minded, do you or have ever put together a home gym? Love to see the aesthetics. Love these Sarah, keep up with these very mindful updates, Stay well, stay healthy. And beautiful as usual. 🤙🏽❤️

[@gracev2335]

Great video Sarah! Thank you. ❤️

[@trudyhall6188]

I own that headboard and love it

[@gaetanetheriault7877]

Hello Sarah! Awww just love all those tips you are sharing with us. Thank you so much! Just recently I’ve invested in white Egyptian cotton sheets, a white cotton duvet cover but am stuck in buying a duvet that I will love. My problem is, I’m a hot sleeper and already with my cotton sheet and 100% cotton quilt, it feels perfect. I have to remove the duvet top each night cause it’s too hot and too heavy on me. I do live in apartment and I do not need heat in my bedroom in the winter. Any suggestion for a year round duvet? I was thinking ‘silk’ but not sure…thanks Sarah! You’re the best! ❤

[@rebeccabiddix6319]

Linen sheets are the best. I usually don't need a blanket, just the top sheet.

[@pamelairvin3164]

The Admiral's advice is priceless! A favorite of ours and so true. Thank you for elaborating on your perfect bedroom recipe...the components are easy enough to procure for a fabulous space. My current challenge is eliminating beloved furniture pieces that no longer work in our limited space. Something's got to go!!!! Blessings!

[@anetbrett9659]

🇿🇦🇦🇺 I’d like to see or learn your process for how to identify a piece of furniture that has potential and reinventing it.

Sarah, I am a longtime fan & love all your videos. Is it possible to do a question & answer bedroom design dilemma? I need to redesign my bedroom & have to keep a few pieces like my upholstered bed. Thank you, Amoi fr NYC

[@lj9043]

I always air my bed for about 30 minutes then it has to be made perfectly. I also could not get in an unmade bed, nor one that wasn’t smooth and inviting. I love when you change the bed and have that clean fresh sheet feeling. I always have white sheets and always ‘fluff’ my pillows every morning when making the bed. When I leave the bedroom I always look back and check that the bed looks perfect. My husband always laughs at me…

[@judyoneal7887]

Oh I’m a scrubber too. In fact I have several old toothbrushes I use to go after the dirt in tiny places. Too much? Nah. 😊

[@b.walker5955]

Such a master chef! I recognize your recipe in each of those delicious examples. 👩🏻‍🍳 Left me drooling! PS. Sateen girly here myself. Got hooked years ago on Wamsutta Elite Sateen which WAS* long staple combed American cotton (American gins are long gone* in 2024) and I have not found anything worthy of guest "STEALING" the sheets since. ("What was that bed?" followed by a stack of cash left on the bedside, and sheets missing REALLY happened). Perhaps your Brooklinen sateen is the ingredient omitted in my current recipe?

[@robinsmith4499]

I always like to let the bed breathe after sleepy time. A little mist spray then make it. About an hour after I wake up!

[@benkeith3]

Query. Why was the bed wall brought out so far? I’m thinking it might have something to do with mechanical systems.🤔 I remember from Sarah Off The Grid you weren’t happy with the window placement. Have you ever tried flax linen sheets? They’re my personal favorite.

[@acaring2440]

❤❤❤❤lovely couple!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@3_3645]

Sarah in small room and you want the bed in front of a window what would you do? Place sheers or shutters in front of the window? When walking into the room I want to see the foot of the bed.

[@MichelleWeber-f4d]

Oh my goodness I’m a percale sheet girl now and forever! Your beds always look so cozy. Something that has plagued my mind since I watched you build this house, what is behind the bed wall?!? I remember there was something with the size of the windows and you built it out, but what ended up behind there?? 😂

[@Orrly5]

❤❤ Sarah is such an inspiration.

[@BebeMoore]

[@louiselev5436]

Love the colors !!! I always iron the pillowcases and flat sheet - must be a French thing. At about 1:28 you say: how you can inject personality and comfort - the bedroom with the gold star above the bed - would you know where the top comforter/blanket came from? It looks like " une catalogne" ? my grandmother used to make those. Thanks

[@captinzoom]

How did you make the canopy

[@peggytravels793]

I am totally a percale sheet woman..just like grandma’s house. Now I live in southern Florida where we run the air conditioning 11.5 months a year & I have ceiling fans in each room. Our short “winter” is usually maybe the last 2 weeks in January & a week or two in early February. There is no way possible for me to have a duvet with down fill on my bed. I found a very light weight 100% cotton matelasse coverlet. I hate decorative pillows I have to remove from bed…where do you put the? Just come and help me have one beautiful bedroom before I’m called to heaven…

[@JanEmily-x4w]

I have been sleeping in Sateen sheets for about 15 years now. I will NOT buy ANY sheets but Sateen sheets, AND ONLY white sheets and towels for me. Several decades ago, I heard someone on TV say that you should NOT make your bed first thing in the morning, that you should let the bed air out. So I make my bed usually before I go to bed. I used to make it when I got home from work, but I'm retired now. What cozy is for me is that the end tables and lamps CANNOT match and are different materials, i.e. 1 wooden bedside table and the other is a round glass table. My lamps are different. I am NOT a matchy, matchy kinda gal ... looks too formal to me.

[@pattirichardson4956]

Your rooms are always spectacular. For me, right now, its picking a rug. What are the rules? I don't want it to compete with the curtains or art. Or maybe more worried about it being too busy.

[@nikkieyeque]

I need ideas that help 'cover up' non-changable eyesores. I have an aircon unit above my bed. Its the focal point of the whole room! sooooooo NASTY!!!! wouldnt matter how well the rest of the room is decorated, that just stands out above anything and how to hide a CPAP machine.....

These rooms are beautiful but none of these rooms have been done inexpensively. Anyone who has alot of money can of course surround them themselves with beautiful architecture, furniture, art, accessories, linens, views,ect. " One click" will cost hundreds of dollars to dress the bed as shown.
