Coombs Hill Barn
Coombs Hill Barn
Our recent photoshoot took us to a striking 160-year-old barn imported from Indiana, USA, located in the Victorian High Country. With rustic grandeur and elegant classical features, this incredible property pairs history and craftsmanship with a fresh, contemporary sensibility, providing the perfect setting to showcase our luxurious pure European linen bedding collection.
The HMCo. team travelled two hours and 45 minutes northeast of Melbourne to Merrijig, where this stunning barn stands on a 100-acre property overlooking Mount Buller and the Delatite Valley. Discovered in the USA by the owners before being dismantled, shipped to Australia and meticulously rebuilt on-site in 2017, it has been transformed into a warm and inviting family home that is also offered as luxurious accommodation.
Hand-finished details and wooden elements sit alongside white-washed walls and polished concrete floors, imbuing a rustic-meets-refined aesthetic that beautifully complements our pure linen bedding. A 12-metre-high stone fireplace, laid by hand using sandstone and mudstone collected from the surrounding paddocks, lends a sense of provenance to the home, which has been furnished with natural materials including jute, linen and ceramics to create a space that is both elegant and welcoming.

Fresh mountain air and cool, crisp nights called for soft, textural bedding that can layered up for a maximalist look or pared down to a simple bedspread or flat sheet as the seasons change. The High Country landscape also informed our nature-inspired palette, with Mare, Argent, Roy and Fog echoing the blue tint of the mountain horizon, the shifting mood of the skies, and the fields of green, while Sable, Bere and Brun offer a warm, earthy combination.

With its triple-height structure and vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, and panoramic views through the classical steel windows, the barn's expansive, open layout is suitably furnished with king-size beds that presented the ideal opportunity to style our generously sized bedding, blankets and throws. Demonstrating its classic adaptability and sumptuous drape, our pure linen range looked right at home in this timeless setting.

The natural fibres of pure linen provide a cool, dry feeling year-round, offering superior sleep qualities by capturing warmth in the winter months while being wonderfully breathable in the summer. Our range of pure linen bedding has been pre-shrunk and pre-washed, with the fabric becoming softer and more relaxed over time and with every wash.

For a spa-like experience in the privacy of your home, there is no better fabric to envelop yourself in after a shower or bath than sumptuous pure linen.

This understated combination evokes a coastal landscape, with warm Cep representing the dark, damp sand at dusk and creamy Petra characterising the glassy reflection and the foamy whitewash lapping the shore. Fonda completes the scheme with a fresh injection of blue – a subtle nod to an adventurous, nomadic ideology and the romance of the sea.

Colour Therapy
Colour Therapy
Our surroundings can have a significant impact on how we feel, particularly the colours we use inside our homes, evoking feelings of calm, excitement and happiness if applied thoughtfully. While everyone experiences colour differently, understanding how certain hues affect our overall mood can be helpful when designing a bedscape that inspires relaxation.
Flocca Linen Sheets in Mare, Roy and Petra, Flocca Linen Duvet in Fonda, Flocca Linen Blanket in Fog
Blue is the colour most prevalent in the natural world, which is perhaps why we find it so soothing. Coastal-inspired hues such as oceanic Mare and deep sea blue Fonda are ideal for creating a tranquil sleep haven, with tonal layers of pale grey Fog and light, sandy neutrals combining to evoke moody skies and expansive horizons. These colours can also be used on walls and ceilings for an immersive sense of retreat.

Crush Linen Blanket in Silva, Flocca Linen Bath Towel in Armee, Crush Linen Throw in Argent
Much like blue, shades of green can mirror the comforting qualities found in nature, so look to our lush Armee hue, evocative of rolling pastures, and the soft, silvery sage of Argent, for a natural refresh. How light or dark a colour appears, as well as its 'chroma' – how saturated or washed out it is – can also produce different reactions. For example, the emotions provoked by a deep, rich khaki might be quite different to the feeling we get from a light, whisper-soft green.

Warm colours such as yellow and orange are commonly associated with joy and happiness, and while some might find these mood-boosting colours a little too stimulating for the bedroom, they can elevate an otherwise pared-back scheme when introduced through vibrant accent pieces. Our Crush Merino Wool Blanket in Oro Melange, a soft, muted saffron, or cushions and throws in the soft gold Maiz add instant warmth and vitality to a neutral palette.

Pink has long been synonymous with love and romance, making it beautifully suited for a bedroom or any space where you would like to lend a feminine sensibility. The earthy, clay pink of Rosa and the gentle softness of Floss offer sumptuous appeal to a layered bedscape while balancing rich, earthy hues such as Bere, Brun and Russo. Also associated with youth and playfulness, a hint of pink in a Macaron cushion or textural throw can make a welcome addition to a contemporary space.

The colour of your lighting can similarly impact your mood, with red light believed to be the best option for relaxation as it boosts melatonin and therefore helps the brain reach a natural sleep state quicker. Blue or cool light, on the other hand, has the opposite effect and should be avoided in the evenings. if you don't have a red light, try using warm bulbs or even candlelight for a gentle ambience and an environment that's most conducive to rest.

Achieving a look of timeless elegance calls for a balance of softness and structure, using considered styling and a few key pieces to elevate your home with comfort and detail.

Our tall profile bedhead provides elegant structure, standing high and anchoring a layered bedscape. From here, pillow configuration can play a fundamental role in achieving a tailored look. The inclusion of European pillows towards the front adds height and a point of interest as well as balancing the all-important hierarchy, while cushions such as our 40 x 60 Basix stripe or our square Flocca linen cushion placed symmetrically add the perfect finish.

Folding a blanket or throw neatly to cover the end of the bed is a classical styling technique that not only offers structure but can also visually balance the bed, avoiding the optical illusion that occurs when a top-heavy bed appears to be sloping downward. As a final textural layer, the box waffle weave pattern featured throughout our Flocca linen blanket lends exquisite detail along with our signature Flocca hand-tufted edges.

Burberry Heritage
The work of British textile designer and forefather of the Arts and Crafts movement William Morris exhibits strong symmetry, repetition and pattern, yet his designs are organically driven and display curving, nature-inspired motifs. A timelessness permeates his work, with many of his designs still in production – and found in the most discerning homes – over 100 years later.

Symmetry can be just as effective in a physical space as it is in a garment or textile, as demonstrated in this serene, pared-back interior by designer Christiane Lemieux. Cohesion creates a sense of calm, with emphasis on a restrained palette of warm, tonal hues and a subtle balance in the placement of lighting, artwork and furnishings. The result is a soft and organic space that is equally refined and contemporary.

The Surprising Health Benefits of Sleeping in Pure Linen
With roughly one third of our lives spent sleeping, creating a healthy (and beautiful) sleeping environment should be a high priority. There are many factors that can impact sleep quality and one of the biggest is the fibres you are sleeping in. As bed linen comes in direct contact with your skin, natural fibres should be the first choice when selecting your pure linen bedding.
1. NATURAL
Pure linen is a truly beautiful, natural product with an inherent timeless quality derived from flax. Flax is 100% biodegradable and recyclable. It is a great ambassador for environmental sustainability as it grows naturally, requires little or no fertilizers and does not require irrigation. It is kind on our earth and the natural strength of yarn produced from flax reduces the need for starching during the weaving process. This results in fewer chemicals being used. Often, cotton and synthetic crops are sprayed with pesticides and herbicides and these chemicals can remain the finished products and be absorbed by the skin.
2. BREATHABLE
Natural fibres are the first choice in linen bedding allowing for breathability; keeping you cool and dry in summer and warm in winter. Pure linen is the first choice as it is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat. Linen can absorb as much as 20% of its dry weight before feeling damp or wet. This means it will absorb more perspiration from the skin and the sheets will not take on a ‘clammy’ feel. Your linen bedding will feel cool to the touch and this high moisture absorbency rate will prevent the fibres from breaking down as quickly as other textiles. It is claimed, that the heat conductivity of linen is five times higher than wool and eighteen times higher than silk.
3. ANTIBACTERIAL
Linen, because of its natural fibres and production process is inherently hypoallergenic. Sleeping in pure linen sheets will help you avoid common allergic reactions found with other fabrics such as synthetics. Pure linen’s natural antibacterial properties have the ability to suppress bacteria which also means sweat is less likely to break down the linen fibres as it would in cotton. The natural qualities of flax make linen the perfect non-allergenic choice.
4. SLEEP QUALITY
Linen is anti-static – which explains why it remains cleaner for longer periods of time and doesn’t cling to the body. It is said that linen will soften and preserve your skin due to its PH-neutral balance. Linen bedding also has a light massaging effect on your skin due to the tiny breaks throughout the fabric. These breaks stimulate our skin, which stimulates blood flow and promotes relaxation. Linen has been shown to promote deep and relaxing sleep. A recent study found that you fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and wake up in a better mood after resting on linen sheets!
5. WARMTH
Linen is a natural insulator and the fibres are hollow, moving air and moisture naturally making it thermo-regulating; insulating in the cold, and cool and breathable when it’s warm. During the colder months, layer linen blankets or linen throws to retain the heat and warmth from your body. Linen reacts to the season to give you the best quality sleep and is valued for its ability to keep you cool in the summer months. This is all achieved through the natural properties of the fibre itself.
Investing in quality pure linen is paramount and HMCo's 100% pure European linen bedding is designed to make this a pleasurable and luxurious experience. Linen’s characteristics make it the perfect choice for luxury linen sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers.

Contemporary Cool
A Contemporary Palette
There are several dominant interior schemes that come to mind when we think of homes featuring cool, classic shades of blue, grey and charcoal, from coastal cottages and quintessential Hamptons style to boys' rooms and spaces with a distinctly masculine aesthetic. However, these versatile hues can also be very effective when applied to a contemporary setting, lending understated elegance to a modern, pared-back look.

The stylish South Yarra Residence by Powell & Glenn is a perfect example of how these cool tones work beautifully in the bedroom, where our pure linen bedding in mid-charcoal Tempest and pale grey Fog has been layered masterfully against a blank canvas of white walls and grey carpet.
