Neutral Textures That Elevate
Winter Events
January events often call for a clean, simple look, and neutral linens are an easy way to achieve that effect. Instead of relying on color, this approach focuses on texture, subtle shine, and layering to create interest. A1’s Designer Collection features three key linens that do most of the work: Bonfire, Stealth, and Burst.
January’s Key Linens
For Purchase Only
Bonfire
Pure White
BE 135W
Has a soft shimmer that catches light without feeling flashy.
Works well when you want a bright, crisp base that still has personality.
Micro-sparkle makes it a strong choice for candlelit or low-light settings.
BURST
Ivory
BT101
Adds texture with a slightly larger grain and a warmer tone.
Ideal for breaking up an all-white tablescape while staying within the neutral family.
Surface detail helps create depth without introducing color.
Stealth
Ivory
SH101B
Offers a smoother, more understated sheen.
Finish is refined, and the texture is subtle.
A great companion to the more textured Bonfire and Burst.
How They Work Together
All three linens carry a degree of shine and texture, but each has a different grain size. When layered in a room or mixed across tables, they create visual depth and a cohesive look. The space is clean, crisp, and neutral while still giving guests something interesting to look at.
Complementary Fabrics
That Complete The Look
To round out the Winter Light palette, these A1 fabrics pair well with Bonfire, Burst, and Stealth.
Why This Palette Works
Neutral tablescapes let the details stand out. By mixing textures and finishes, you create a polished look that feels intentional and elevated without relying on bold colors. Bonfire, Burst, and Stealth give you a strong foundation, while the complementary fabrics help pull everything together for a clean and modern January event.
