There are an array of fabrics and textiles to choose from when it comes to decorating the home. Whether that’s choosing between silk or bamboo for your bed sheets, or choosing between linen or cotton when you’re setting the table, finding the right texture, feel and hue can really make or break a space.
One textile that has reigned supreme year on year is linen. A popular textile amongst interior design fiends – particularly as we enter the warmer months – linen has made its mark in both the home and fashion landscape, and with good reason.
Why is linen so popular?
It’s a natural fibre, meaning it’s perfect for the environmentally conscious (and for all for that matter). With a lower envrironmental impact than alternatives such as cotton, it’s an obvious choice for many. Plus, if cared for properly, it is a durable fabric that will become a staple in your home.
Linen curtains, in particular, aren’t new. It’s light and airy and has been a key player in many design styles, from coastal and rustic through to contemporary industrialism and boho, just to name a few.
So, if you’re looking to refresh your home just in time for spring, we’d recommend investing in a pair (or two) of white linen curtains. Below, we’ve rounded up our top picks.
