Why I wrote this guide
Every year, as November approaches, I find myself taking stock of my home. It's that time of year when you feel the urge to renovate your spaces, making them warmer, more welcoming, and more refined. And Black Friday arrives right on cue, with its bargains to be seized upon to create a home tailored to our needs.
I love to take my time choosing, focusing on those pieces that really make a difference, and that's how this guide came about: a thoughtful journey, based on my experience, to help you understand what's worth buying during Black Friday, room by room, without sacrificing taste and elegance. Because furnishing your home is not about following a trend, but about building a personal aesthetic, made up of details, harmony, and a love for beautiful things.
My Black Friday: tips for taking advantage of the deals at Borgo delle Tovaglie
For me, this is the perfect time to invest in textiles that transform a home. There's no need to change everything: all you need is a linen duvet cover, an elegant tablecloth, or a set of tailored towels.
Quality has a value that you can appreciate every day. That's why I've divided my recommendations by room, with a focus on products available on our website that you'll love for years to come.
Your home is the space where you can be yourself, and every room, even the smallest, should reflect your sense of style.
Kitchen and dining table – The pleasure of entertaining
Those who know me know that the kitchen is my favorite room in the house. Not only because I love to cook, but because it is where we share our days, our stories, our slow breaks and our hurried ones.
The table, in particular, has a very strong symbolic value for me: it is a place for relationships and hospitality, even when we are alone.
That's why I firmly believe that even a midweek breakfast deserves a well-chosen tablecloth, a cloth napkin, and a special glass.
What to buy for an elegant kitchen:
1. Filo Maxi tablecloths – my signature on the table
If you want to start with a piece that never goes out of style, I recommend the Filo tablecloth.
It is made of tailored cotton, available in neutral and refined shades, and finished with an elegant embroidered corded border. It looks great on both rustic tables and in more modern settings.
Practical tip: pair it with simple dishes and minimalist candles for an effortless chic effect.
2. Gitane napkins – poetry at the table
I love Gitane napkins: they are a tribute to femininity, creativity, and the table that changes mood with a simple gesture. I have been using them for years, even just to make breakfast with toast and honey special.
3. Amalfi and Florence placemats – the beauty of details.
Amalfi placemats are made of linen, lightweight yet structured, with a beautiful carved embroidered border that makes them perfect for an elegant table setting even without a tablecloth. Le Firenze placemats, on the other hand, with their unique shape, are ideal for those who love a balance between classicism and modernity. Practical tip: I often use them on top of a solid-color tablecloth or on their own on bare wood.
Bedroom – Where beauty meets rest
During Black Friday, my advice is always the same: change your bed, change everything.
Renovating your bedroom is like treating yourself to months of pampering. Here are my tips for a tailor-made, cozy, elegant bed.
The bed is the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we touch before going to sleep: a well-designed bedroom helps us slow down and rediscover balance and beauty in simplicity.
What to buy for a dream bedroom:
1. Linen duvet covers and the Pure line – absolute comfort
If you love the enveloping feel of linen on your skin, you can't miss the duvet covers from the Pure collection.
They are made of washed linen, available in a wonderful neutral palette ranging from sage to mastic, passing through a romantic powder pink tone, and tailored to perfection.
The Pure line also includes matching sheets and pillowcases, which I recommend pairing tone-on-tone or contrasting for a more sophisticated effect. My favorite combination? Sage Pure duvet cover with ivory pillowcases and powder pink bottom sheet.
Bathroom – elegance even in the most everyday gestures
The bathroom is a room that, paradoxically, we spend a lot of time in... but we don't decorate much! For me, choosing beautiful towels and bathrobes means taking care of yourself. If you think about it, it's the first place we go in the morning and often the last before going to sleep. We often consider it a functional space, but it takes very little to transform it into a refined and harmonious environment that welcomes us with calm and beauty.
What to buy for a refined bathroom:
1. Bauhaus towels – signature softness
Bauhaus towels are among my absolute favorites. They have a compact, enveloping terry cloth with discreet, geometric graphics inspired by design. Not only are they beautiful to look at, but they also become softer with each wash. I often recommend them in home styling projects because they give any bathroom a neat and contemporary look.
2. Linen bathrobes – elegant minimalism
Yes, you read that right: linen bathrobes. They were a fantastic discovery for me too, and since I tried them, I can't go back. Cool in summer, cozy in winter, they dry quickly and take up very little space. They are also ideal as a Christmas gift: you can choose a neutral shade, perfect to give as a pair!
A well-thought-out list, a lasting purchase
I hope this guide has helped you understand what to buy with elegance and awareness. Black Friday should not be an opportunity to fill your closets, but a time to invest in everyday beauty.
With just a few of the right items, a tailored tablecloth, a linen duvet cover, a set of towels that smell clean, you can really change the energy of your home.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about Black Friday and home textiles
Which products would you recommend buying first?
I would start with the bedroom: a good linen duvet cover, such as those from the PURE line, makes all the difference. Next: Bauhaus towels and a Filo Maxi tablecloth.
What is the difference between linen and cotton?
Linen is breathable, natural, cool in summer and warm in winter. Cotton, especially stain-resistant cotton, is more practical for everyday use. Both are excellent: it depends on your lifestyle.
How should linen textiles be washed?
Always in the washing machine at a low temperature (30°C), without aggressive spinning. No fabric softener, but a good neutral detergent is fine. Linen improves with every wash.
Which home products are ideal as gifts?
My favorites: Gitane napkins, Amalfi placemats, Pure pillowcases, linen bathrobes. Elegant, versatile, and perfect for gift wrapping. Discover my tips for decorating your home with elegance by taking advantage of Black Friday: offers on tablecloths, duvet covers, towels, and much more.
