SEPT '24
Selecting the right textiles in a home can help create an atmosphere of warmth and inviting charm that resonates with the spirit of fall. Let's look into transforming your living spaces into a sanctuary for relaxation and togetherness, while discovering what linens you should get for your home and how you should take care of them.
Organic Cotton
Look for linens made from organic cotton, that are made without harmful pesticides and boast breathability and durability. This will ensure they withstand years of use.
To ensure the longevity of your linens, start by washing them in cold water to preserve their brightness and reduces the risk of fabric damage. Limit the use of fabric softeners and bleach on natural fabrics like cotton and linen, as these can coat the fibers and inhibit their breathability. Instead, consider using vinegar as a natural alternative to soften your linens. Additionally, opt to hang dry your linens whenever possible, as this method is gentler on the fabric and prevents shrinkage. If you do use a dryer, choose a low heat tumble setting and remove the linens while slightly damp to minimize wear and tear, ensuring your linens remain fresh and durable for years to come.

Flax Linens
Linen, derived from flax plants, is an excellent choice, offering natural temperature regulation—keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter—while also becoming softer with each wash.
Tencel
Tencel, made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, provides a silky texture with moisture-wicking properties, perfect for temperature control during restless nights.
Bamboo
Lastly, bamboo linen is hypoallergenic and highly sustainable, offering excellent breathability and durability. Be aware that this fabric will get softer over time and may feel rough initially.
