How to choose table linen colour for your interior
Linen is the fastest way to change a room’s mood — and the most common mistake is too many colours at once. Start with a neutral base: beige, olive or terracotta suit most interiors and woods. Then add a single accent (a runner or napkin) in a stronger colour. For coastal venues, Mediterranean tones work — sand, olive, sea blue. A dark wooden table pairs with light linen for contrast; a light table with warmer, earthy tones. Change the runner by season and keep the base constant — the space stays fresh at low cost.
FAQ
How many colours should I use?
Three at most: base, accent, and the room’s wood/metal.
