Inspiration from The White Company Newsletter

May 18th, 2009 by LinenMe
Respond

This post is inspired by the newsletter I recieved from The White Company another day. I was so happy to see big and well known company promoting qualities of pure linen bed linen (outstanding breathability, fantastic “slubby” look) and making statements like “…after sleeping in linen, nothing else is the same”.

LinenMe is promoting pure linen bed linen from the very first day the brand was born. Linen thanks to it’s temperature-regulating properties provides true relaxation. When the weather is hot, it absorbs moisture and excessive heat and in cold weather it retains body heat. Due to linen’s anti-static, anallergic and natural PH balance qualities you probably won’t find better fabric for your bed linen.

You can find wide choice of highest quality luxury pure linen bed linen at LinenMe Shop and what’s more important these days we promise to you very affordable everyday prices. You can check here why LinenMe can make this promise.

Another advantage of small company like LinenMe is that we could make bespoke bed linen to you , something that big guys like The White Company would never do.

Try pure linen bed linen as “…after sleeping in linen, nothing else is the same” :-)!

Decorating Easter Sunday table with pure linen

March 24th, 2009 by LinenMe
Respond

Easter celebrations fall on the 12th of April, Sunday, this year and with a sunny start in March chances are we will be able to enjoy a sunny Easter Sunday lunch, with plenty of fresh flowers decorating our tables.

Small decorative eggs, vases with spring blossoms and delicate baskets filled with colourful chocolates are often used to decorate Easter Sunday table, but cannot take all the credit for making the table look vibrant and welcoming. Like any other annual celebration, Easter is the perfect time and occasion for using luxurious, high quality table linens, and LinenMe has a wide selection of products that do not require any additional decoration – they drape gracefully, look elegant and fresh.

Create an atmosphere that brings a smile to everyone’s face with a mix of table linens, as shown in the image above. Use this off-white linen tablecloth from Emilia collection and then, depending on your preference, opt for bright tone napkins. You can choose from natural, sky blue, rosa, mauve, aqua, and rainforest green.

Just like we associate red with Christmas, green colour is traditionally reserved for Easter. Try this fresh look using Diana off white linen tablecloth and rainforest green napkins from Emil collection. If you are adding green colour to your Easter table by using cut flowers, make them stand out by opting for off white linen napkins with gorgeous hemstitched detail from Una collection.

Lithuania Today interviews Inga Lukauskiene

March 6th, 2009 by LinenMe
Respond

LinenMe received quite a bit of attention from Lithuanian press recently, and we’re pleased to be able to republish an interview with LinenMe founder Inga Lukauskiene, which appeared in “Lithuania Today” magazine.

Quick facts about Inga Lukauskiene:

•    Textile designer, professional home interior designer
•    Founder and owner of LinenMe, a UK-based retailer of luxurious linen products
•    Graduate of KLC School of Design
•    Originally from Plunge, Lithuania

Let’s start from the very beginning. How did linen come to your life? How did you start this linen related business?

Linen production was not the first business area I got involved. Firstly, my family had a floral business and as a little girl I used to help them sell flowers at a local market. Another task for me as a little helper was to assist with the gardening duties at the rose greenhouse, and at one point there were nearly a thousand of rose shrubs! I loved arranging flowers into bouquets, so I suppose this was the first time I had to do colour arrangement and design!

Once Lithuania gained the Independence, my mother, who has worked in linen industry for over 35 years, established her own linen production company in Plunge. For many years this company has been manufacturing luxurious hand-made linen tablecloths, towels, bedding and other home accessories, but all this production was carried out for foreign clients.

Collection of the month: Chrysanthemum linens

February 19th, 2009 by LinenMe
Respond

Chrysanthemums are perennial flowering plants with nearly 30 species, and their distinctive and elegant shape of the flower was an inspiration for our luxury linen product line called – you guessed it! – Chrysanthemum.

The colours

This linen collection includes cushion covers, table runners and table placemats. As you can see from the pictures, colour variations have been designed to suit any décor as best as possible. Currently you can choose from off white, natural and black.

The weave

All cushions and table linens from Chrysanthemum collection are made of a linen and cotton blend (53% linen and 47% cotton), featuring elegant stylised Chrysanthemum pattern and produced in a fabulous damask weave.

Items in off white colour are probably the most luxurious-looking, as the damask weave is so subtle that you can only see it clearly at a certain angle. This creates the exquisite feel and look, and will be admired by your guests. [Read more →]

LinenMe product of the month: pure wool throws

February 16th, 2009 by LinenMe
Respond

Even though we at LinenMe tend to focus on high quality pure linen products, there comes a time when new fascinating items get added to our assortment that are made using other natural fibres, and this time it’s wool.

The country has had a very cold winter this year, and it was only a matter of time before our online shop had a new section added to it, called Throws & Blankets. As I am sitting down to write a little introduction to our wool throws, I have a lovely Blue Gothic throw warming up my lap. Can’t complain – it’s very warm!

LinenMe offers several types of wool throws, and possibly one of the most popular is the Burbuole range (‘Burbuole’ is a Lithuanian word for a plant bud). These brown and cream throws are made of 100% wool and have a distinctive pattern resembling a round flower bud. The edges are finished with cream thread. If your home décor has a neutral theme throughout, these throws will compliment the look without standing out too much, but adding a lovely accent.

LinenMe decoration tip: Burbuole wool throw looks beautiful if combined with cushions in neutral shades. We offer several colours of pure linen cushion covers, including Emilia sand & nougat and a rich choco brown.
