Bespoke MILA sofa in white washed linen: purity, lightness and complete personalisation

Some colours never go out of fashion. White is one of them. The bespoke sofa  MILA in white washed linen  by Bérengère Leroy embodies this timeless elegance with an unexpected touch of whimsy: a  sofa cover trimmed with black washed-linen pom-poms  that gives the piece a spirited finishing touch. Entirely handmade, fully removable and available in  48 Bellagio washed-linen colours, it suits every interior and every preference. Here is everything you need to know about this exceptional design.

White washed linen: a timeless fabric and shade

Why choose white washed linen?

White is the colour of every possibility in interior design. It makes spaces appear larger, reflects light and works with any palette. But white washed linen has something more than ordinary white: it is never cold, never clinical. The fabric’s washing process gives it a  subtle crinkled texture, a gentle softness to the touch and warm highlights that bring the material to life.

A white washed-linen sofa is unlike a white leather or white microfibre sofa. It has character, depth and a natural, organic presence that makes it instantly warm and inviting. This is a lived-in, vibrant white that changes with time and light.

The natural qualities of washed linen

Washed linen offers practical advantages for a living-room sofa used every day:

• Durability  : linen is one of the strongest textile fibres in existence, far more durable than cotton or synthetic fabrics


• Breathable  : its natural fibres regulate temperature, keeping you cool in summer and comfortable in winter


• Hypoallergenic  : recommended for people with sensitivities or allergies


• Eco-friendly  : linen is a crop that requires little water and few pesticides, and is primarily grown in Europe


• Easy care  : thanks to its fully removable, machine-washable covers

Pom-pom trim: a distinctive signature

The detail that makes all the difference

On the MILA sofa in white washed linen, the  sofa cover is trimmed with black washed-linen pom-poms. This choice of finish may seem incidental at first, but it is precisely this kind of couture detail that sets a Bérengère Leroy creation apart from mass-produced furniture. The pom-poms bring:

• Contrast  : black against white creates a strong, crisp and elegant graphic dialogue


• Movement  : unlike piping or a trim, the pom-pom plays with lightness, swaying gently and bringing the cover to life


• A bohemian-chic feel  : neither too sober nor too fanciful, the pom-pom gives the sofa a refined, personal character

This trim is shown here in black, but as with the sofa as a whole, everything is  customisable. You can choose pom-poms in any colour, match them to your fabric for a tone-on-tone look, or create contrast with a complementary shade.

And if you prefer piping?

If pom-poms do not suit your aesthetic, the MILA can also be finished with  coloured piping. Contrasting piping around the cushions or sofa cover adds further graphic definition to the sofa’s silhouette, precisely outlining its contours. This is an especially popular option for contemporary or minimalist interiors.

The Bellagio washed-linen collection: 48 shades to imagine

The MILA sofa in white washed linen is just one example from a palette of  48 colours available in the Bellagio washed-linen collection. If white is your first choice, you can order it exactly as shown. But if you would like to explore other shades, every colour in the collection is available at the same price.

A few popular choices among our clients:

• Natural washed linen  : for a sofa with warm, straw-coloured highlights, complementing wood and rattan


• Khaki washed linen  : for a natural, military-inspired shade, sophisticated without ostentation — discover the MILA Classic in khaki washed linen


• Azure-blue washed linen  : for a luminous Mediterranean touch — see the MILA in azure-blue washed linen


• Old-rose washed linen  : for a soft, romantic interior


• Slate washed linen  : for a living room in bold, graphic tones

Mixing colours and textures

The white MILA Classic also gives you the option to  mix colours between the frame and cushions, or even to  combine washed linen and washed velvet  in a single composition. For instance, a white washed-linen sofa base with plum washed-velvet cushions creates a particularly striking contrast of colour and texture. Few makers offer this freedom, making every MILA a truly unique piece.

A bespoke sofa in any size

Choose your length

The MILA is made to your chosen length. Whether you need a compact 1.80 m sofa for a bright studio flat or a generous 3.20 m sofa for a spacious living room, Maison Bérengère Leroy adapts to your requirements at no extra cost. Simply specify your preferred length when placing your order.

The depth: adjustable to suit your preferences

The MILA’s standard depth is set at 100 cm by default, ensuring a generous, enveloping seat. This dimension can be increased or reduced to suit your preferences. A depth of 85 or 90 cm makes it easier to move around in tighter spaces, while a depth of 110 cm offers an even cosier experience.

You can take personalisation even further by creating your own bespoke MILA corner sofa thanks to the collection’s modular design.

The white MILA in your home: three moods

Seaside and holiday-home style

White washed linen is the quintessential fabric for coastal interiors. Paired with weathered wooden floors, limewashed walls, natural linen curtains and wicker or rope accessories, the white MILA creates the atmosphere of a seaside home where you can settle in and unwind. The black pom-poms add a graphic touch that gives the whole look a contemporary feel.

Minimalist, pared-back style

In a minimalist interior — white walls, polished concrete floors and furniture with clean lines — the MILA in white washed linen blends in effortlessly. In the noblest sense of the word, it almost disappears: it does not distract, but soothes. An optional coloured piping can then serve as the room’s sole accent of colour.

Bohemian, natural style

White washed linen pairs beautifully with natural materials such as cane, seagrass, rattan and pale wood. Surrounded by plants, Berber rugs and paper or rattan lighting, the white MILA becomes the focal point of an airy, bohemian living room. The black pom-poms echo the dark details of the ethnic-style furniture, creating a cohesive, lively look.
