Laundry list: everything you need to know when putting together yours

Made of different materials and finishes, and also with very variable prices, the pieces of a trousseau need to be in accordance with the style of the house.

Linen: what determines the price is the quality and fabric of the cotton. Details such as embroidery can make the product more expensive.

Mattress protector: it increases the durability and facilitates the cleaning of the mattress.

Blankets: to use instead of the duvet or together with it on very cold days.

Pillows: they can have goose feathers inside, foam or polyester.

Duvets: Indispensable in winter, the more expensive ones have goose down inside or synthetic fiber foam. They can be sold with covers that facilitate maintenance and hygiene.

quilts: they protect the sheets and pillows and, made of lightweight materials, can be changed as often as the sheets.

Bath: bath towels, face and bath mat. Larger and more absorbent ones are more expensive. Most stores embroider the initials and charge around R$30 for the service. Also, don’t forget the washcloths.

Table: provide at least one elegant tablecloth, for more formal dinners, in linen or embroidered cotton, with napkins for ten people. For everyday use, count on easy-to-wash towels, printed or plain. Placemats are practical and can complete the trousseau.
