Linen bedspread: the washed linen effect for a soft and natural bedroom
This linen throw is more than just a simple bedspread: it's a statement piece that softens the bedroom and gives it that coveted washed linen look . Made from 100% cotton , it perfectly mimics the soft drape and slightly crinkled appearance of linen, while remaining incredibly soft against the skin and easy to care for every day.
With its checkered pattern (plaid) , warm colors (gray, blue, pink, yellow, khaki, green, orange…) and rectangular shape , this linen bedspread looks just as good at the foot of the bed as it does on the entire bedside table. Lightweight (approximately 1 kg to 1.5 kg depending on the size), it's perfect for year-round use: as a decorative and cozy layer over the duvet in winter, or as a light blanket in the spring and fall and summer.
Green tip – a bed made in seconds
To give your bedroom a "guest house" look, simply smooth out your bedding, fold the linen throw lengthwise, and place it at the foot of the bed. Add two coordinating cushions, and your bed instantly looks made and inviting.
Why choose a linen bedspread?
-
Washed linen effect : natural, relaxed and chic look, without the maintenance requirements of pure linen.
-
100% cotton material : breathable, pleasant to the touch and comfortable in all seasons.
-
Plaid pattern : the checks visually structure the bed and bring a timeless charm.
-
Multi-purpose : ideal at home, but also when travelling , on a sofa, in a holiday home.
-
Machine washable : simple care, perfect for everyday or family use.
Material & comfort: a cotton feel, a linen look
This linen bedspread is made from 100% cotton , a natural fiber that breathes and regulates temperature well. You can enjoy the look of linen thanks to its texture and drape, while retaining the advantages of cotton:
-
Softer from the first use.
-
Less prone to wrinkling in everyday use than pure linen.
-
Easy to machine wash , without excessive precautions.
The plaid pattern, composed of intersecting lines, gives the bed a real presence without overwhelming it. It goes equally well with a plain bedding set in white, beige, or gray, as with bolder tones for those who love colorful bedrooms.

-

-
Soft yellow : brings brightness to a somewhat dark room.
Blue tip – create a coherent palette
Choose two or three colors from the linen bedspread (for example, gray, blue, and white) and repeat them on your bedding, cushions, and a poster on the wall. With just a few touches, the room gains cohesion without appearing cluttered.
Easy care: a true everyday ally
This throw is designed for stress-free use and washing. Thanks to its machine wash , it easily integrates into your laundry routine.
- Machine wash on a delicate or cotton cycle at a moderate temperature.
- Gentle laundry detergent, without harsh bleaching agents to preserve colors.
- Air drying is preferable, on a drying rack or clothesline.
- You can also iron it on a low heat if you wish to reduce the crease effect a little.
Don't do
Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that could dull the tiles and weaken the fibers. Do not wash your linen bedspread at very high temperatures and limit tumble drying to a hot cycle: this could cause it to shrink and ruin its beautiful drape.
Two possible looks with a linen bedspread
A natural and uncluttered atmosphere

Colorful and warm atmosphere
A plain bedding set, a linen throw with pink or orange checks, string lights, and graphic posters. The bed becomes the focal point of the room, perfect for a teenager's bedroom or a cheerful guest room.
