Libeco Home Flagstaff Blanket offers great comfort for a great night’s sleep.

There’s something so delicious about slipping between soft linen bedding, turning off the bedside lamp, and snuggling in for a great night’s sleep. But what about those times when your mind won’t stop spinning and you toss and turn all night long?

If that’s the case for you, keep your eyes open long enough to glean these 5 crucial tips for getting a great night’s sleep – and then head to bed!

  1. Unwind. Give yourself ample time to unwind before hitting the sack. Avoid bill paying, stressful conversations, or worrying in the hour before you’re bed-bound. Spend 10-minutes deep breathing, or quieting your mind, before you tuck yourself in.
  2. Fast. Digesting food disrupts sleep patterns, and can cause fitful dreams. Try eating your last meal of the day at least four hours before you go to bed.
  3. No TV. While many believe the television soothes them to sleep, it actually does the opposite. The flashing lights and images projected by TVs and computers make it more difficult for your brain to “shut off” even when you shut your eyes. Keep your room for rest and relaxation only!

Try these tips for a week or two and hopefully restless nights will be a thing of the past.

Belgian linen is that it is timeless and can be incorporated into any interior design motif. However, it lends itself particularly well to vintage home interiors. Prior to the rise of synthetic fabric, natural fibers were all homemakers had to work with, which is part of the reason why linen has such a nostalgic look and feel.

Here are ideas for incorporating Belgian linens into your vintage home interior.

 

Antique nesting box

Nesting box shelving. Antique nesting boxes can be found in vintage and antique shops, as well as farm auctions. They make a unique shelving option and linen tea towels are the perfect finishing touch. Whether you choose to use them in a kitchen, or to store linens for the bath, they will add a vintage flair to any space.

vintage linen upholstery furniture

Vintage living room. Linen is a very versatile fabric, due to its durability, luxurious texture, and easy maintenance. You can make linen the focal point of your living room by using linen upholstery, window dressings, and pillow covers. It’s best to use a set of linen swatch cards or books so you can see the fabric in your space.

Libeco Home Vence Linen Tablecloth

Dining room accents. Linen has long been used for table dressings and place settings. White linen pieces are the perfect choice for a spring and summer table, and pair well with fresh cut flowers and elegant china.

If you’re in the process of redecorating your home, Linens by Didriks online has a wide variety of Belgian linen accessories to complete your look.

Now you see ‘em, now you don’t. If you’re fortunate enough to have a built-in storage closet or cabinet, using boxes and designated linen containers is an excellent way to keep your linens folded neatly and organized by season and/or holiday. In order to prevent the accumulation of dust and lint, swap traditional shelves for coated, stainless steel organizers.

Belgian linens on display. The problem with linen closets that have closing doors is they tend to wind up becoming a disorganized catch-all. Open shelving, or linen cabinets with glass doors, can be a wonderful way to force yourself into artistic organization. We love the way this bright, sunshine yellow cabinet forms a contrast with the neutral linens housed inside.

Big storage for small spaces. This glamorous, mirrored Armoire is a smart solution for gaining big storage in a small space. The mirrored panels add depth to the room.

Now that your storage dilemmas are solved, shop Linens by Didriks for new, luxurious spring and summer additions.
