About Cotton & Linen Cushion Covers and Natural Textiles
Cotton and Linen Cushion Covers
A cotton cushion cover is softer to the hand and holds colour well; linen is cooler, creases more and softens with every wash. Buy the insert 2-3 cm larger than the cover so the corners fill out instead of sagging.
Organic Cotton Throws
An organic cotton throw is the piece that makes a sofa look occupied rather than staged. Cotton is easier to wash than wool and does not need airing. Weight matters more than fibre content for how it drapes over an arm.
Linen Table Runners and Table Linen
A linen table runner covers the middle of the table and leaves the wood visible at the settings, which is the point of using one on a good top. The tablescape ideas guide covers laying a table with linen and natural pieces.
Washing Natural Textiles
Wash linen and cotton cool on a gentle cycle without softener, which coats the fibre and stops linen softening naturally. Line dry where you can. Both fibres shrink slightly on the first wash.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size insert do I need for a cushion cover?
One size up from the cover, usually 2-3 cm larger on each side. A 45 cm cover takes a 48 cm insert. Matching sizes exactly leaves the corners empty and the cushion looking limp.
Do cushion covers include inserts?
No, unless the product page says otherwise. Covers are sold separately so you can reuse inserts you already have.
How do you wash linen without ruining it?
Cool or 30C, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach and no fabric softener. Line dry or tumble on low and remove while slightly damp. Hot washes and hot dryers are what shrink linen.
Does linen get softer over time?
Yes. Linen starts crisp and softens with every wash without wearing thin, which is why linen sheets and covers are often better after a year than new.
Are the textiles organic?
The cotton items marked organic are grown without synthetic pesticides and certified. Linen is made from flax, which needs little pesticide as a crop. Each product page states the fibre and any certification.
