Did you know that the use of linen cloth dates back thousands of years, all the way to ancient Egypt? This fine fabric was once used as a currency, and it is still sought after today for use in clothing, accessories and home decor. As mentioned in a previous post, we picked up lots of inspiration and got a sneak peek into up-and-coming interior design trends when we attended the High Point Market in North Carolina, and it seemed like linen was everywhere!
We saw the same theme in many of the showrooms- a casual, easy elegance with linen upholstered furnishings and accessories, often with typographical and/or French design elements. Take a look at some examples of this style, below.
Linen is a great choice for a comfy couch, and combined with vintage elements and a bit of quirkiness, makes for an airy and welcoming interior.
