What linen color to choose for your interior?

THE POWER OF COLOURS

The subject of colors in our lives is so interesting that it is taken up by specialists in various industries. Among them, psychologists deserve a special mention who try to understand and study how colors affect our memory, memories, mood or concentration. Among various experiments, there are hypotheses that emotions can be aroused through the colors that surround us in art or interiors.

Of course, leaving aside stereotypes and colour symbolism, which often indicates that red, for example, is a reflection of love and courage, and white of purity and modesty, there is real evidence that colours have much more meaning than we originally thought.

Thus a colour, for example: the colour of linen, can cause associations in us – positive or negative – and thus evoke memories or emotions.

How does that work? In a nutshell: a light impulse transforms into an electrical impulse, going to our hypothalamus. Being in this location, it begins to control our pituitary gland, affecting our mood and our consciousness. We notice this effect when we like a certain colour, because it is associated with holidays, important family celebrations or childhood. This association in turn can affect our attention, concentration and efficiency.

FOR RUSTIC MINIMALISM

Rustic interiors are filled with soft, natural light that highlights bright colors and wood accents. Like a boho style – there is harmony and tranquility inspired by fields of grain, greenery of the forest and blooming gardens.

Such unique, subtle arrangements go perfectly with natural or rustic linen shades, which best reflect the beauty of natural linen. We believe that the simplest solutions are the best ones, that is why subtle linen bedclothes in natural shade will best compose with a bright, romantic bedroom, and rustic linen curtains will most gracefully reflect the atmosphere of a country kitchen, open to the dining room.

FOR ENGLISH ROMANTICISM

Porcelain plates arranged in a sideboard, field flowers in a large vase, ruffles on decorative pillows and wooden accents, passed down from generation to generation. Interiors inspired by English Romanticism are extremely feminine, subtle, delicate in their form. Fresh flowers, the scent of roses and a touch of eclecticism go perfectly with the dusty pink shade, which looks particularly beautiful on a large wooden bed or in the form of curtains, hung in the children‘s room. Alternatively, a semi-transparent muslin that flutters in the breeze will add intimacy and let the morning sunshine through.

FOR THE RAW LOFT

American loft-inspired interiors owe their fame to abandoned factories that went bankrupt in the 18th century, mainly due to economic changes in the United States. Dark colours, raw finishes and few accessories are ideal for using linen pieces in charcoal, true grey or grey stripes. Darker shades are perfect for spacious mezzanines in the attic, elegant, minimalist living rooms and “masculine” bedrooms, where a certain restraint in design is present.
