Linen napkins

Linen napkins are one of those details that help transform a table setting. Their texture adds visual interest alongside plates, glasses, and cutlery, while their natural tones allow you to create simple arrangements for everyday use or set a more elegant table when you have guests.

At Sklum you'll find a selection of linen napkins , available in packs of two. Discover designs made from linen and options that combine linen and cotton, with plain finishes and striped patterns to complement different tablecloth styles.

Linen napkins for a natural style table

Linen napkins allow you to introduce a natural-looking fabric into your dining room or kitchen decor. You can place them folded on your plate, next to your cutlery, or with a napkin ring to make them stand out more.

They pair well with white tableware, stoneware plates, and wooden accessories. You can also use them on a tablecloth in a similar shade to maintain a uniform color scheme or choose a different color to create contrast.

Its aesthetic fits especially well on Mediterranean, rustic and contemporary inspired tables, although the result will depend on the materials and colors you choose for the rest of the tableware.

Linen and cotton napkins: combine two fabrics in your tablecloth

In this category you'll find linen and cotton napkins that combine both fibers in a single piece. They're an alternative for those looking for linen tablecloths with a different finish than napkins made solely from linen.

Sklum's designs include solid colors and striped patterns on neutral backgrounds. You can pair them with linen and cotton tablecloths or use them on a bare table with placemats.

If you're looking for a coordinated look, check out the available tablecloth collections. You can also mix similar fabrics and keep the napkins and tablecloth a common color.

Beige, white and natural-toned linen napkins

Color influences how designer linen napkins integrate with the rest of the table setting. At Sklum, you'll find light and neutral tones that allow you to create different combinations without changing your tableware.

• Beige linen napkins: they complement natural tablecloths, white plates and wooden accessories.
• White or off-white napkins: allow you to create contrast with dark tableware or maintain a composition of light tones.
• Napkins in natural colors: they incorporate different soft tones into the table setting.
• Striped napkins: introduce a discreet pattern when the rest of the tablecloth is plain.

The tablecloth and napkins don't need to be exactly the same shade. You can combine different beiges and whites to add depth to the table through subtle contrasts.
