How to style a table setting with linen napkins

Choose your colour palette

Start by selecting a colour palette for your table setting. Linen napkins come in a variety of colours, from classic neutrals like white and natural to soft pastels or bold tones. Choose colours that complement your dinnerware and table decor for a cohesive look.

Layering

Layer your napkins on top of the dinner plates or chargers for an elegant and polished look. 
Get creative with how you fold or drape the linen napkins to add visual interest to the table. You can fold the napkins into simple rectangles or squares for a classic look, or you can drape the napkins loosely across the table or tuck them under the edge of the dinner plates for a more relaxed and casual vibe.

Accessorise

Enhance the table setting with additional accessories that complement the linen napkins. Add a centrepiece of fresh or faux flowers or greenery in a simple vase for a natural and elegant touch. Incorporate candles or votive holders for added ambience and warmth.
You could also consider adding a personal touch to the table setting to make it feel warm and inviting. Maybe a place card for each guest or a little seasonal decoration tied to your linen napkin. 

How to clean linen napkins

Cleaning linen napkins is a fairly straightforward process. They will come with a care label sewn in. Following these instructions is important to get the best out of your napkins. 

Machine Washing

Linen napkins can typically be machine-washed with mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Separate light and dark-coloured napkins to prevent colour transfer during washing. We recommend keeping your wash cycle below 40°C. 

Gentle Cleaners

Try to only use gentle washing liquids on your napkins. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can weaken the fabric and cause discolouration.

Line Dry

After washing, air-dry your napkins by hanging them on a clothesline or drying rack. Avoid using a dryer, as high heat can cause shrinkage and wrinkles. If necessary, you can tumble dry your linen napkins on a low heat setting for a short period to soften them slightly before air drying.

Ironing

Once dry, iron the napkins while they are still slightly damp to smooth out wrinkles and creases. Use a steam iron on the linen setting for best results. Alternatively, you can skip ironing for a more relaxed, casual look.

Storage

Store linen napkins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing and discolouration. Avoid storing them in plastic bags or airtight containers, as this can trap moisture and lead to mildew growth.

Linen Napkins Vs. Cotton Napkins

Why would you choose linen napkins over cotton?

Luxurious Texture

Linen napkins have a luxurious texture that is unmatched by cotton. The natural fibres of linen create a soft yet substantial feel that adds an elegant touch to any table setting.

Enhanced Absorbency

Linen is known for its high absorbency, making linen ideal for wiping spills and cleaning up messes during meals. Linen absorbs moisture quickly and effectively, helping to keep your table clean and dry.

Durability

Linen is one of the strongest natural fibres available, making linen napkins exceptionally durable and long-lasting. They can withstand frequent washing and use without showing signs of wear or tear, making them a practical investment for your tableware collection.

Linen napkins for weddings

Linen napkins are a great choice for adding a little touch of natural luxury to your wedding tables settings.
With a variety of colours available you can choose napkins that best suit your wedding decor. You could choose the classic white linen napkin for a wedding table setting. Maybe a light blue linen napkin to compliment your flowers or charcoal linen napkins to give your setting a sophisticated touch.
We also have a range of matching linen tablecloths and table runners perfect for a wedding table.

Why choose paper napkins?

While they may not be as luxurious as linen napkins paper napkins can be an excellent choice for events and dinner parties. 
Firstly, they offer convenience, eliminating the need for laundering and ironing like linen napkins, thereby reducing your workload hosting the event. They are also disposable minimising the work involved in clean up too!
Our paper napkins come in a variety of colours, patterns, and designs, allowing you to easily coordinate them with the theme of your event or dinner party.
Lastly, the affordability of paper napkins makes them a practical option for large gatherings.
