Why Making Your Bed Every Morning Actually Matters (And How to Do It in Style)

There’s a simple daily habit that sets the tone for a more peaceful, productive day: making your bed.

It might seem like a small act, but studies—and even the U.S. military—have long upheld the discipline of a tidy bed as foundational to a strong mindset. In fact, one of the first things taught in basic training is how to make a bed with precision. Why? Because it builds a sense of order, accomplishment, and pride—before your day even begins.

A Clear Space = A Clear Head

There’s real science behind it: waking up in a clean, organized room helps lower stress, support focus, and promote better sleep later on. When your environment is calm and beautiful, your mind follows suit. A made bed anchors the room—it’s a visual cue of stability and care, and it’s surprisingly motivating.

Make It a Ritual—Not a Chore

Rather than rushing through your morning routine, making your bed can become a mindful moment—especially when your bedroom feels like a sanctuary. That’s where our William Morris Pimpernel Collection comes in.

The Pimpernel Legacy

Originally designed in 1876 by William Morris, the Pimpernel pattern is a classic of the Arts and Crafts movement. With swirling vines, soft florals, and rich symmetry, it evokes nature’s rhythm and timeless British elegance. The patterns were once found on wallpaper and textiles in manor houses—now reimagined for modern living.

A Tidy Bed, Beautifully Made

The Pimpernel collection blends historic charm with everyday luxury. Choose from a rich palette of vintage hues—dusty rose, faded blue, sage green, muted gold, and powder white—and layer your bed with:

• Soft microfiber duvet covers with hidden zippers and corner ties for a polished, stay-in-place look

• Coordinating pillowcases to elevate your bedding with a refined touch

• Throw pillows that bring harmony and texture, whether arranged neatly or casually tossed

• Even plush poufs to complete the look and give your space a comfortable edge

Each piece is crafted to be breathable, soft, and inviting—so making your bed becomes a joy, not a duty.

A More Beautiful Morning Starts Here

Whether you're channeling a bit of old-world romance or simply want to create a peaceful retreat, your bedroom deserves more than crumpled sheets and chaos. A made bed with thoughtfully chosen linens—especially ones with history and heart—has the power to transform your space and your mindset.

Start your day with intention. Start it with beauty. Start it with the Pimpernel collection.
