We’re wrapping up summer here with a little homage to the season’s favorite fabric, linen. It’s made from the fibers of a flax plant and goes through multiple steps before being spun or woven into usable threads. It’s classic for summer due to its breathability and moisture wicking naturally anti microbial characteristics. It’s rich history dates back to ancient Egypt and its usage in mummification, ceremonial shrouds and even currency. After the Industrial Revolution, machinery expedited the process and larger markets and consumerism brought about linen blends with more cost effective synthetic fibers. Today linen feels like the timeless summer classic it has always been. Our favorite take? Fresh white high quality linen sheets in the bedroom. It’s inviting, peaceful and easy to pair most any style. Kitchen Linens in the kitchen are a time honored tradition. If you’re lucky enough to own table linens passed down through generations please make sure you’re caring for them in the proper way by avoiding bleach which deteriorates the integrity of the fabric. Living Room To strike that perfect effortless cool in your living room try linen upholstered furniture and throw pillows for added texture and dimension. Linen picks:
