Vardagstextilier

Vardagstextilier, literally “everyday textiles” in Swedish, denotes fabrics and textile products intended for daily domestic use. The category spans household textiles such as bed linens, towels, table linen, curtains, and soft furnishings, as well as everyday clothing and kitchen textiles.

Common materials include natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool, as well as synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, and blends. The choice of fiber influences durability, care requirements, and feel. Patterns range from solid colors to prints, stripes, and plaids, with design often prioritizing versatility and ease of coordination with home decor.

Vardagstextilier are produced by textile mills and brands for mass and home use. Global supply chains involve spinning, weaving or knitting, dyeing, finishing, and distribution. Prices can vary widely, reflecting fiber choice, quality, and brand.

Care needs vary by material but common instructions include machine washing and tumble drying or air drying. Sustainability concerns focus on resource use, chemical dyes, and end-of-life disposal. There is growing emphasis on durable, repairable textiles, organic or recycled fibers, and recycling streams to reduce waste in the everyday textile sector.
