Three years ago, this store joined its partner, Timothy Paul Carpets, in the trendy 14th Street Corridor of DC and quickly became part of the downtown design scene. Owned and run by Timothy Paul Worrell and his wife, Mia Worrell, Timothy Paul Bedding & Home offers high-end linens amidst custom furniture finds.
Sferra, Lulu DK Matouk and John Robshaw are among the store’s best-known luxury bedding names, but Timothy Paul also tries to find small, up-and-coming vendors. The store offers samples and sample books from the manufacturers to give customers an idea of what they’re looking at. “We ask people how they live,” he says. “We don’t want them making a big investment that might not suit their lifestyle.”

In keeping with the community orientation of the store, there’s always a bedroom vignette on display created by a local designer, generally showcasing bed linens from the store. In the past, designers Joe Ireland, Lisa Vandenburgh and Lori Graham have created window displays, and a display by Darryl Carter is coming soon. As Worrell explains it, being part the community “is good for everyone.”
