Heavy Linen Uptime Can Vary With Different Room Styles

Heavy Linen Fabric is a blend of two things, linen and heavy cotton. The fabric components of most furniture, particularly chairs, are linen and polyester. Linen is a woven textile which is made from the evergreen flax plant; the word linen comes from West Germanic origin, meaning 'of linen', 'of the lily plant'.

This heavy linen fabric can be found in most colors; light to dark blues, reds, browns, blacks, tans, beiges, grays, golden, silver, copper, bronze, tan, rust, black onyx, jade green, indigo, copper, burnt orange, jade purple, fuchsia, sapphire blue, cobalt blue, and sapphire pink. Most linens will also contain polyester and occasionally vinyl. Although it's sometimes difficult to find in stores, it's generally found in ready-made curtains and throws. Ready-made fabric is usually referred to as 'snap dress' or 'snap-front'. It can also be used for draperies, tablecloths, shawls, bedding, pillows, throws, cushions and throw pillows.

Linen and heavy linen fabric make excellent upholstery fabrics, particularly bedroom curtains. You should consider purchasing a dark coloured linen curtain as light coloured curtains won't completely cover your bedroom. In addition, curtains made with fabric can hide any flaws in the fabric. Linen curtains tend to retain their colour and look good year round, whereas other fabrics will fade quicker. You could even consider using this type of curtains for children's bedrooms where it's possible to purchase bright coloured patterns.

Linen upholstery has a number of advantages. It's easy to maintain and care for, requires very little cleaning and can last for many years. Heavy upholstery fabric is not as resistant to stains as some lighter fabrics, but it will hold onto its colour and resist mildew. It's also resistant to fire and most fires won't affect a heavy upholstery fabric.

Linen curtains aren't just ideal for bedrooms, but they're also suitable for bathrooms. Linen absorbs moisture from the air, so it's perfect for bathrooms where you might have an issue with water damage. Although it's not as easy to clean as cotton, you will find that it resists dirt and bacteria. In addition, it will resist mildew which is often associated with dampness and mould and mildew.

If you want to create a mood in your home, heavy curtains and upholstery go well with a number of different colour palettes. They can match almost any fabric used in bedrooms, bathrooms or anywhere else. Heavy linen material can also be used to great effect in conservatories. Because it absorbs and retains the heat from the sun's rays, it makes a good cover for pools. Heavy downholstery along with shutters can help keep the hot sun out of your conservatory.
