Strategist writer Tembe Denton-Hurst hadn’t considered linen sheets until she saw ones from Hawkins New York on interior designer Tiffany Thompson’s Instagram story. “Made from European linen and then stonewashed in Portugal, they have this automatically lived-in look, soft and rumpled and ultraluxurious (this shows up in the price; $225 for the flat sheet alone). They got even softer once washed,” Denton-Hurst says. But what she likes best about this set is that there’s so much material to work with. “I have a 12-inch-thick Allswell Luxe mattress, which means I normally spend a lot of time making and remaking my bed to keep from naked bits of mattress getting exposed, but not here; the generous amounts of fabric are easily tucked in.” Denton-Hurst got the sheets in basic white, but they also come in a range of 16 other rich color options. “They still managed to elevate the look of my existing, mostly white bedding, which was somewhat sterile before, but not anymore.”a
