ABOUT US
We make heirloom pieces with a deep commitment to integrity and craftsmanship. For the beloved bed.
We care about the materials we use: where they come from, who makes them, and how.
Our aesthetic is a classic one, intended so that our pieces can be lived with for a very long time.
Making great things that stand the test of time requires craft, skill and slowness.
How It Began
The enthusiasm for creating beautiful bed valances began in 2018, while completing a large-scale property renovation. In need of fourteen bed valances, I couldn’t find anything on the market that met the standard I wanted. Quality, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design were essential to me — and I was looking for something far beyond what was widely available.
Three years ago, just after my second child was born, I began designing bed valances and having them made by local seamstresses. It has always been paramount to me that every piece is made here in the UK.
People sometimes ask why I care so much about the bed valance — it’s niche, I know. But to me, it’s a bedroom staple, long valued in interiors for both its function and its beauty. Once used to hide metal bed frames, block drafts, and keep dust at bay, it has evolved into a timeless piece that brings cohesion and elegance to a room.
That challenge set me in motion. I began exploring fabrics, designs, and production methods in the UK, learning about linen, colour, and the possibilities of texture. I visited sewing studios, experimented with designs, and deliberated over every detail.
I’m proud to work with an incredibly talented team of women seamstresses in Durham. Every valance and headboard slip is crafted to last — beautiful, functional, and designed to complement the space around it.
With a focus on harmony, the Headboard Slips were created alongside the valances so the pieces could work together within a room.
Today, Tasha Teare Studio bed valances and headboard slips are available to order from the UK — handmade to last, and designed to be everlasting.
Linen
Linen is one of the oldest known fabrics used by humans. It is a wonder fabric. It is sustainable, durable and timeless.
Linen is made from flax, a plant which thrives mostly on rainwater and able to flourish in poor soil. It does not require intensive water irrigation or lots of chemicals to grow, making it a much more sustainable fabric choice than others like cotton or synthetics.
Flax fibres are twice as strong as cotton, making linen highly durable. Perfect for those pieces you want to last.
The characteristic slubs and nubs give linen it's wonderful texture and natural appeal.
With a centuries rich heritage of flax cultivation, retting and weaving, linen takes more skill than other fibres to produce. This makes linen not only a luxurious textile but a testament to enduring craftsmanship.
Our linen is made from flax grown in Belgium and France which is then woven in Lithuania and Spain.
Each of our pieces is the result of bringing the hands of multiple craftspeople together.
The Sun and Moon
You’ll find the sun and moon throughout our world at Tasha Teare Studio. Our logo unites the sun and moon – symbols of day and night, beginnings and endings. They remind us that the bed is not just a place to rest, but a space that holds both energy and stillness, light and shadow. Where we begin and end our day and our constant haven.
