How to Style Linen on Linen
OCT 12|4 min read
Everything you need to layer linen in your home.
Linen lives at Adairs. Getting softer with every wash, it’s no surprise that linen is one of the most popular materials in our collection. Perfect for the warmer months, the breathable nature of linen allows hot sleepers to regulate their temperature, while the absorbent fibres ensure the bedlinen stays feeling fresh. From sheets and quilts to curtains and napkins, we have the widest range in this most-loved fabric. Discover every style in every colour, for every room of your home.
If you’re ready to feature linen in your home, we have all the tips and tricks you need to layer this trending fabric.
Mix and match patterns
One of the more fun ways to layer linen is to play with patterns. Create plenty of visual interest by pairing clashing designs like stripes, checks, and gingham. For a result that’s on-trend but not “busy”, keep the look cohesive by sticking to a neutral.

Black and white
If you love a sleek, modern look, consider linen in black and white. Layer up sheets, quilt covers, and pillowcases in varying shades of black, charcoal, grey, and white. Thanks to the soft texture of linen, the sometimes cold-seeming colour scheme will feel warm and inviting. This aesthetic bedlinen style looks picture-perfect with bedheads in boucle or timber.
In 8 styles and more than 20 colours and prints, we have all the linen you need to give your bed a makeover.

Totally tonal
It’s a classic linen look for a reason! Stick to one side of the colour wheel to find a spectrum of colours that tie together seamlessly. While two colours will look great, tonal looks really come together when you match three or more colours of the same intensity. We love pairing sunset shades together for a warm and cosy look that suits all seasons.
Colour blocking
If you’re after a playful, eclectic style, look no further than colour blocking. Mix your favourite colours together for an effect that’s endlessly bright and cheerful. Colour blocking works best when you pair complementary colours, like blue and orange or yellow and purple. You’ll know your colour combo is complementary if they appear directly opposite each other on a colour wheel. Traditional colour blocking features solid colours, but feel free to add a trending pattern to keep the look fresh.
Insider Tip:
Still missing something? Finish the look of your sofa or bed with a linen cushion. With all the colours, prints, and patterns you need, we make it easy to find the perfect cushion. Discover more than 80 amazing linen cushions in 16 styles.
Linen beyond the bedroom
From napkins and tablecloths to robes and more, there are so many ways to embrace this beloved material. Perfect for smaller spaces (especially when you can see the bedroom from your living space), adding linen to different rooms of your home helps keep your style consistent. We love varying the colour choice but using the same fabric to create a look that flows from room to room. A beautiful linen table runner gives a summery, lived-in feel to all your entertaining.
Vintage Washed Linen
Discover linen to love with our most popular style: Vintage Washed Linen. If you’re looking for timeless luxury with lightweight comfort, then our linen range of quilt covers, sheet sets, cushions and robes are the perfect fit for your bedroom. Creating an effortless and relaxed look, linen is a textile made from natural flax fibres – so it’s incredibly durable and long-lasting. Our beautiful linen gets softer with wash and wear, making it a quality investment for all seasons, year after year.
