The textiles a pared-back home needs

Basic range collage

Are you clear about your go-to decorating style? If you too have fallen for pared-back, minimalist homes, we'll explain which textiles your home needs to match this style.

Before we dive into the textiles that a pared-back, minimalist home needs in the living room, bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen, let's look at what defines this type of home, so fashionable these days.

The features of pared-back, minimalist homes

The main hallmarks of these homes, which will help you recognise them, are:

  • Living spaces where neutral colours predominate.
  • Relaxed yet lived-in atmospheres, warm rather than cold. The warmth shows in the small details, in signs that the home is lived in. A steaming mug on the table, a blanket bundled up on the armchair… Today's minimalist homes are not cold like they were a few decades ago, but cosy.
  • Most of the materials used in furniture and decor are natural, not synthetic. Unvarnished raw wood, ceramics, stoneware, natural fibres… predominate.
  • There are green plants dotted around the different spaces, but no flowers. They are placed strategically to create cosy spots, without an overloaded, tropical jungle look.
  • The furniture chosen is sturdy, elegant and functional, with storage space that keeps objects out of sight, apart from a few carefully chosen pieces with decorative value.
  • Storage is smart and functional, from the living room to the bathroom or the kitchen.
  • Although light tones predominate, contrast is created through materials and textures. Even so, you can add an element in another cool colour (such as grey or blue) or a warm one (brown or terracotta).

Ideal textiles for a more pared-back home

Now that you have a clearer idea of what a pared-back, minimalist home looks like, let's see which textiles are best suited to accompany or dress its different spaces.

After listing the features, we can conclude that the fabrics should be:

  1. Natural.
  2. In light tones.

The best fabrics for a modern minimalist home

Bedding, throws, cushion covers, towels… In a pared-back home, cotton, linen and wool are used above all.

All the bedding sets in our online shop are 100% cotton. As for linen pieces, several of our curtains stand out, these being the most suitable, as they are plain and beige.

Linen bedding is perfect for a home like this, in white, beige, light brown, khaki green… It is perfect for summer because it feels soft and cool.

For winter you might prefer a duvet cover and cotton sheets of 150 to 200 thread count or more.

Neutral-toned ideas for your natural home

White, beige or light grey should predominate in your home if you want it to have a modern, pared-back, minimalist look that is warm and cosy.

To dress the bedroom, we recommend our Basic range. This collection includes bedding sets for adults or children.

If, while sticking to neutral tones, you want the bedding in your little one's room to have a print, we suggest these with clouds, gingham checks, butterflies, rainbows, bees or stars.


Now you know which textiles a pared-back, minimalist home needs. With these charming pieces we suggest, your home will invite you to unwind, rest and enjoy some peace and quiet. Do you like them?
