Today’s post is all about linen. Linen is naturally chic. It is a beautiful way to adorn your home but also helps improve your health and wellness. The new Forest Green Collection from Magic Linen is so perfect for bringing more nature into your home. I have chosen to partner with Magic Linen and promote their products because they provide a quality line of natural fabrics free of chemicals that is truly eco-friendly. Bringing natural fabrics into our home helps promote our connection to nature. . This collection ticks off all of the boxed that we promote at Sage Garden Style and this post is dedicated to this new line-why we love it, and have crowned it a perfect biophilic “linen for all occasions”.
It’s the Essence of Biophilic Design
Biophilic Design, for those who are not familiar with the term, means simply design that helps connects us to nature and leads to better health and wellness. It is a movement that is gaining more and more recognition as we become removed from nature on a daily basis. Technology has taken us indoors and our craving for nature is greater than it has ever been. Getting outside is, of course, the best and most obvious way to connect with nature. Outdoor rooms that invite us to spend more time out in nature is one way. Getting out and participating in nature with walks, hiking, and outdoor sports is another. But we can derive real health benefits also by finding ways to add design and decor inspired by nature inside the home. This new Forest Green Collection from Magic Linen offers many ways to add some natural elements to help you achieve that.
Linen Is A Natural Fabric
Linen is one of the best fabrics to add to your home. It is perfectly understated, natural, and so easy to care for.
I did a feature post titled Is Linen a Luxury Fabric a while back detailing all of the reasons why linen is the most nearly perfect fabric available today. It is Eco-Friendly so it not only promotes our health but we, in turn, return the favor by choosing to use products that are sustainable and biodegradable putting fewer pesticides into the environment. As I stated in that article and will repeat here, it is beautiful and functional.
It is Practical
Have a house full of kids? Do you entertain? No worries. Linen is one of the easiest, carefree, materials you can buy. It is naturally antibacterial so you don’t need to worry about cleaning as often. If there is a spill or stain problem simply throw your linen in the washing machine. It is also very durable so it can withstand frequent washings giving you a lot of life from your home goods made of linen. Linen is a very good investment. It is twice as durable as cotton and can last decades. Because of all of these reasons, linen products are a great practical choice for every day living.
It Is Casually Elegant -Perfect for All Occasions
It is also great for special occasions. I really love the understated beauty of linen. It is not fussy and it is very at home in most any decor style. Because it has a casual look, a tablecloth, napkins, or place mats in linen can be paired with some really elegant tabletop pieces like the first photo and for some reason the pairing just makes both look better. It is also perfect with rustic decor elements as shown in the second photo below. So you can see that linen is as much at home in the garden as the dining room. Tablecloths, napkins, place mats, and even seat cushions in linen are all great options.
Linen Tabletop Decor
Magic Linen’s Forest Green Collection includes tabletop decor to help you achieve whatever ambience you can dream. All natural fabric and that amazing natural green color will send peaceful vibes to your lucky guests. Love it!
Perfect Linen Bedding
Bedding in linen is a natural choice too. Nothing feels as nice against your skin as natural linen. It breathes with you and will help regulate temperature fluctuations, help with night sweats as it naturally wicks moisture away from your skin. It can absorb 20% of its weight in moisture. Pretty impressive. If you are a woman of a certain age, starting from the beginning stages of menopause throughout all of the years beyond or just prone to sweating and/or have problems with temperature comfort, linen is for you. Duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases, and even curtains are all available in the Forest Green Collection from Magic Linen.
What’s Old Is New Again
Dyed Flax Linen Fibers, have been discovered dating back 36,000 years. It was produced in ancient Mesopotamia and worn mainly by the wealthy. It was highly prized for all of the above mentioned qualities. It endures to this day and has seen a resurgence in popularity and we have come full circle and recognize the value of linen and other natural fabrics. It is aesthetically beautiful and a great way to surround yourself in casual luxury. That is why I love it. You will too.
