Finding The Perfect Linen Combo

Finding the perfect linen combo can be tricky (and is a pretty common subject in my DMs) so I thought I’d share my current fave, as well as my go-to formula for simple linen styling. All of the pieces shown here are from Foxtrot Home, but they can easily be swapped out for your preferred brand.

This combo is my absolute fave at the moment, and has been on repeat in our house for more than a year now. I have the Foxtrot Home ochre quilt and pillowcases, a blush pink duvet cover and pillowcases, grey striped sheets and euro pillowcases, and a white valance.

I generally go for two block colours (e.g., ochre and blush pink), a pattern (e.g., grey stripes), and layer it all on top of a white linen valance. I personally prefer layering the bolder colours on top and using the lighter / more neutral colours as a base. Our eye is naturally going to be drawn to the bolder colours, so I feel like having these on top helps to create a sense of balance, and lets the lighter colours play their part by adding depth and dimension.

For other pattern ideas, I suggest checking out the following as well: Citta (I have their Wildflower pillowcases which I absolutely love), A&C Homestore (for gingham and wider stripes), and I Love Linen (also for gingham).

Happy linen styling!
