After 23 years in the Interior Design Industry, local designer Paula Grypma introduces Cover Story Bedding, a concept where many of the duvet and sham cover ensembles provide four variations, allowing subtle or more dramatic changes to your finished bedroom. Working from her studio, Outlooks Design, in Sidney, B.C., Paula specializes in window coverings and soft furnishings including custom bedding.
Within Cover Story Bedding there are five collections with specific “Design Styles” to give you inspiration: Be Happy (fresh, evokes an uplifting feeling); Beachy Keen (seaside, beach walks); Garden Party (vibrant blooms, bring the outside in); Timeless Treasure (classical; heritage); and Magical Mood (ages gone by; tales far away).
Draw upon your own inspirations and mix it up. Choose a neutral linen duvet and introduce shams of any print, as all pieces are sold separately. Custom changes for sizing or placement of fabrics are welcome, often with no additional charges; delivery dates depend on stock. Paula has researched other product lines to offer solutions for luxurious bedding, including feather and down, sheets, nightwear and accent cushions. The play on words adds an element of fun to shopping on the Webstore: “Inside Story,” “Under Story,” and “Your Story.”
The packaging was designed using only recyclable products, as opposed to most bedding which is packaged in layers of plastic. The beautiful Cover Story Bedding box not only has great presentation: it’s reusable and recyclable and allows for shipping anywhere. It also makes shopping for gifts and surprises easy. Sean McNeill of McNeill Solutions brought Paula’s vision of the packaging to life.
Creating her own bedding product line has been a dream of Paula’s. In doing so she: offers beautiful linen and cotton fabrics which are not readily available; streamlines the manufacturing process to eliminate the usual challenges faced with custom ordering; offers pricing which is lower than custom bedding; presents well-thought-out designs with versatility in each duvet ensemble; and ensures local design and manufacturing using imported fabrics.
