Linen, this textile that is both ecological, elegant and with surprising properties, is infiltrating our interiors and becoming an essential decorative element for all the rooms in our homes!
A natural material
Natural materials are still on the rise. Rattan, wicker, bamboo but also linen invite themselves into our interiors and make the hearts of decoration lovers beat faster than ever.
Number one champion of ecological fibers, linen always surprises and seduces. Mainly grown in Europe, particularly in Belgium, France and the Netherlands, this fashionable textile is a plant material that requires neither water nor pesticides, growing mainly thanks to the heat of the sun and rainwater. Since the plant is fully used, it does not cause any waste and the products made from it are both biodegradable and recyclable. For health reasons, linen is also preferred because it is better tolerated by our skin. Exit synthetics, hello natural materials. So many reasons that make this material an excellent choice for our homes!
How to adopt it
From the living room to the kitchen, via the bedroom, it seeps into every corner of our homes, bringing warmth and comfort. Table linen, cushion cover, bed linen and furniture covering, linen also brings an invigorating freshness.
For the bedroom, we opt for linen duvet covers or bed sheets, first of all, for its incredible lightness but also for its thermoregulatory properties. Indeed, this surprising textile promotes our sleep because it has the gift of being able to retain heat in winter and coolness in summer. Curtains or a beautiful linen lamp will also bring refinement and softness to the room. In the kitchen, towels and aprons are highly appreciated by all cooks for the resistance and solidity of the material but also for its very absorbent side. This textile also sublimates our interiors with its natural elegance and noble character. A sofa, cushion covers or a pretty plaid, this natural fiber is available in all styles and becomes the charming and luxurious asset of our living room. Its pleasant touch and unparalleled elegance makes us want to decorate our table with a pretty tablecloth or napkins made of this material. Finally, on the bathroom side, this textile is ideal for bath towels thanks to its delicate touch and its ultra-absorbent effect. In white, gray or colored, it pleases in all its colors!
