I'm about to make my first shots with those tomorrow.

I'm talking about something like this:

(which is a great shot! and inspired me to take something in a similar style)

Any suggestions to make it look as good ? or even better ? ;-)

You could tape the sheets on the floor with duct tape to minimize wrinkles.
Did that on all the white background photoshoots I've done so far.

I was thinking of making it wrinkled though, like in the thumbnail, much more vivid when shot with humans posing imo.

I really *LIKE* seeing the wrinkled sheets.. or some texture in the background.. This trend of having the environment around the model as completely sterile is really confusing to me.

I guess I'm in a minority though.

Wow, i feel really honored!!!

I like the wrikles too!

Some words of advice... Dont try to 'arrange' the wrikles too much... if they look too fake, well then they just look fake. Just spread the sheet out in the air holding two corners and let it fall naturally. Then you can spread it out a little if it doesnt cover everywhere you want it to. Here is another wrinkle sheet example... I just lay in the bed and rolled about a bit then got up :-)

I agree. I like to see some texture, too, or things start to look a little cartoonish sometimes.
