- What makes linen a good choice for upholstery?
Linen upholstery offers a natural, elegant appearance with a subtle texture that comes from the flax plant fibres. It is also highly durable, breathable, and has moisture-wicking abilities. Linen is an excellent choice for those with allergies or sensitive skin due to its hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties.
- How can I incorporate linen upholstery into a room effectively?
Use linen upholstery to add a touch of relaxed elegance. It pairs well with a variety of materials and styles, from rustic wood to modern metals. Soft, neutral linen can serve as a versatile base for layering textures and colours. It also works well with other natural materials like rattan, leather, and wool.
- Do you have any linen upholstery fabrics with texture or prints?
Yes, we offer linen fabrics with various textures and prints to complement a range of interior styles. Our softly textured linens add subtle interest to a room and are suitable for contemporary and classic design styles alike.
- How does linen upholstery wear over time?
Linen upholstery is renowned for its longevity, and it increases in softness over time. It’s less prone to pilling and moths and doesn't stretch out of shape. However, it can wrinkle easily and may show wear in the form of a 'lived-in' look, which many people appreciate for its aesthetic.
Linen tends to fade when exposed to direct sunlight over long periods, so it's best to position linen-upholstered furniture away from bright windows.
- What are the care instructions for linen upholstery?
Caring for linen upholstery involves regular vacuuming to remove dust and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth to prevent stains from setting.
Linen can usually be dry cleaned, and some types of linen upholstery can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always refer to the manufacturer's care instructions for specific guidance.
