The Vancouver-based online bedding brand keeps things high-quality but simple: mix and match 24 colours (that go far beyond your hotel whites, with vibrant hues like electric pink and alarm-clock orange on the menu) of 100-percent cotton pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets to create the bedding set of your dreams. bedface.ca

One-Question Interview

Lynnfield Mitchell, Brand Director, Bedface

If you were redesigning your bedroom, where would you start?

We spend a third of our lives in our bedroom, so why not make it a space that’s comfortable but also aesthetically beautiful? The bed is the focal point: start there when you’re redesigning, and work outward. We’re seeing a movement in certain markets like Vancouver and  San Francisco toward crazy, colourful bedding. They’re tired of white and grey and navy, and they’re buying mint duvet covers and all-nighter citron sheets.
