Decorating in All White

I've never seen such a clean, crisp look as a room decked out in all white. The vast number of shades of whites and textures transform any room into an elegant suite.

For as long as I can remember my mother always had white furniture, carpet or accessories in her bedroom. White just has a way of making things look brighter and more refreshing.

White linens, furnishings and accessories allow you to add any color trends the decor. Just think of the possibilities for your home when you start with the basics in white. Take a look at some ideas for decorating in all white.

What you need to know about quality linens.

General Fabric Definition/Description from the manufacturer. Sateen fabric has a soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface.

This fabric is usually made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens are manufactured in both light and heavy weights, which make them ideal for bedding.

Is there really a difference in cotton?

General Fabric Definition/description from the manufcturer. Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality bed and bath linens in the world. It is grown to produce a longer fiber than othertypes of cotton. The longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics.

"Think Globally and Act Locally."

Cotton made in Africa is a project that promotes the sustainable cultivation of African cotton to sell in products bearing the project's name. Funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the goal of the project is to increase the income of African cotton farmers thereby increasing the overall quality of life for themselves and their children. The purchase of African made towels in white, directly contributes to poverty reduction of more than 265,000 African farmers by creating sustainable trade rather than one time profit maximization.

These towels are manufactured in the USA by 1888 Mills, a leading textile manufacturer committed to environmental and social sustainability.
