While you might be used to custom stitching on your bath towels and even mattresses, the best embroidered bed sheets evoke a special type of elegance. Whether it’s a threaded or printed design, the thoughtful craftsmanship can give even the simplest pair of sheets an artful accent to make them stand out. What’s more, embroidered bedding is versatile for a variety of bedroom styles. We love the refined look of monogram embroidery in a home like Blair House, as well as a jacquard weave design as a playful accent in a maximalist’s space.
We referred to our list of thee best places to buy bedding to find these sets, ranging from high-end sites like Frette to Amazon for affordable picks. We stand behind the quality of each and every select below, but for safe measure, you can always check the brand’s FAQ section to learn more about their fabrics—like long-staple cotton and cooling percale—to find the embroidered bedding that’s just right for you.
Our Top Picks for the Best Embroidered Bed Sheets:
If percale bedding is for you, you definitely want to check out Sferra. You’ll find the brand everywhere from New Orleans’s Hotel Saint Vincent to the Thompson Hotel in Washington, DC. This flat sheet is reminiscent of the bedding in these high-end hotels for its crisp lines and feel—it’s designed to be so comfortable you won’t want to get up for your morning wake-up call. Plus there are over a dozen colors to choose from to create a hotel-inspired escape for your home.
Accessibility in the bedding space is a must for us, so we scoured Amazon for affordable, design-forward options. This pick features ruffle detailing for a romantic bedscape. This bestseller also has deep pockets to fit a grand-size mattress.
We’re already fans of Coyuchi’s linen sets for a lived-in look, but as summer weather approaches—we know we’ll be reaching for this percale sheet set next. It’s not only cool to the touch, but it also has eye-catching geometric patterns that are inspired by vintage deco lace trim.
If you want to welcome luxury bedding into your home, Frette is one of our favorite destinations. Available in three neutral tones, this set boasts two bold embroidered lines across crisp percale. We think structured bedding of this kind would look best in a minimalist bedroom.
Cotton sateen bed sheets are some of the smoothest, silkiest pieces to sleep on. And when they’re paired with a design like The Company Store’s feather motif, they’re transformed into an even more luxurious set to sink into night after night. For an extra $18, you can also personalize these sheets with a monogram of initials, a word, or a name.
“The Bergamo style appealed to me for its simplicity in appearance—no frills, just a simple satin stitch that would work on nearly every style bed,” says US digital director Allie Weiss of this lightweight, minimalist set. “The brand promises this high-end percale to be silky and light, two descriptors that I’m sure pretty much everyone would want to associate with their sheets.” While the bedding set is sold separately, this can allow you to mix and match a fitted sheet, flat sheet, duvet cover, and more in over 40 made-to-order thread colors.
We’re already fans of the floral bedding from LoveShackFancy’s Pottery Barn collection, but we couldn’t overlook their embroidered sheets either. Brand founder Rebecca Hessel aimed to create “ethereal designs” in this line, and this set delivers with dreamy scalloped edges.
ABC Carpet & Home has an array of maximalist-meets-eclectic quilts and coverlets in its bedding collection. Before browsing all of its categories, first order these stitched sheets. They boast a hand-embroidered edge inspired by traditional Indian prints. Created to complement any of designer John Robshaw’s pieces, we recommend dressing it up with a bold printed duvet cover from his collection.
These bed linens are ideal for the traditionalists out there. Made of 300 thread count Italian cotton percale and lace, this set has a classic design that’s perfect for a vintage-inspired space like this French fashion designer’s Parisian home.
After being “sold on the fact that Boll & Branch makes organic and fair trade sheets,” commerce director Rachel Fletcher has been an all-around fan of the East Coast–based brand’s bedding. Included in its new arrivals is the embroidered collection, which holds up to the company’s standards with 100% long-staple organic cotton materials. We’re drawn to each design, but we’re especially fond of the stitched detailing for an elegant bedscape.
Select these sheets for a touch of whimsy in your bedroom. Along with delicate scalloped borders, you’ll find serene, nature-inspired colors that speak to the best in coastal bedding. The 100% cotton sateen sheets don’t skimp on durability, as they also feature a 400 thread count designed to last.
