A Guide to the Best of Southern California : DESIGN : Chamber Mates From Down Under

SHERIDAN, the classy Australian showplace of the boudoir, has crossed the seas to anchor two outlets on our shores: a cozy shop in Costa Mesa’s South Coast Plaza and a larger representative in the Century City Shopping Center. The merchandise, which includes every conceivable bedroom accessory--sheets, duvet covers, comforters, beds, upholstery fabric, wallpaper, window treatments, lamps and much more--runs the gamut from frilly to sleekly contemporary. But it’s the sheets that are the unqualified Sheridan standouts: vibrant solid-colored linens that coordinate with exotic tropicals, men’s-club paisleys and a couple of playful designs from Australian artist / designer Ken Done. For those who can’t find what they want among the nine bedroom vignettes displayed, sales consultants are available to advise.

Sheridan, Century City Shopping Center, 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Century City, (213) 286-1638, and South Coast Plaza, 333 Bristol, Costa Mesa, (714) 540-9978.
