From function to fashion: a quick textile history
Home textiles were once purely functional: bed sheets kept mattresses clean; towels dried bodies; blankets for winter kept us warm. But over the decades, the category has evolved. As disposable culture gave way to a desire for quality, even everyday items like single bed sheets, double bed sheets or towel sets became design statements. The term “luxury” expanded beyond assets into everyday surroundings.
Today we demand more from our linen bed sheets, our bath towel sets and blankets—not just durability but presence. The burst of “comfort blanket” culture is a sign of that shift: comfort is no longer ancillary, it’s central.
Modern materials, modern moods
Where once textiles were thick, heavy, and purely protective, today the story is about fibre, finish and feel. Long-staple cotton, high thread count weaving, satin finishes, breathable weaves—all give bed sheet sets, double bed bedsheets, king size fitted sheets an elevated feel. Towels have moved beyond basic terry cloth into bamboo blends, waffle textures, quick-dry innovations. A towel set or cotton bath towels can now carry subtle design cues in colour, texture and branding.
Blankets for winter are no longer just thick – they’re layered, reversible, aesthetic. Comforters sit on beds not just for warmth but for style. Even single bed bedsheets join the conversation of design and luxury. This evolution shows how home textiles have entered the lexicon of interior style.
Why bed sheets, comforters and bath towels have become style statements
What we sleep on and wrap ourselves in has meaning. A white bedding set signals crisp minimalist calm. A richly hued double bedsheet or patterned comforter blanket adds personality. In the bathroom, bathing towels that feel hotel-worthy speak to self-care and indulgence. As boundaries between living room, bedroom and spa blur in our homes, bed sheets for double beds, linen bed sheets, towels, comforters, blankets—all become part of the narrative of “I deserve better.”
When your towel set coordinates with your bathroom rugs, or your cotton bath towels share the same refinement as your bed sheet set, the entire space feels curated. That’s everyday luxury.
Where Mulberry Living fits in this transformation
Mulberry Living exemplifies the transformation. Their website emphasises premium long-staple cotton, carefully finished to resist pilling and retain colour. They offer collections of bed linen—white biddings, double bed bedsheets, super king, king size fitted sheets—as well as towels & robes, bath towel sets, and comforters. They’ve taken what was once purely functional and turned it into something expressive yet timeless.
For example, you might choose a double bed sheet set, pair it with a comforter blanket for winter, and complete the look with matching bathroom towels and cotton bath towels—all from Mulberry Living. The brand makes everyday items feel like investment pieces.
Additionally, by being available online and offering curated collections, they make this elevated experience accessible.
The future of luxury textiles
Looking ahead, we’ll see further convergence of sustainability, technology and everyday luxury. Eco-conscious fibres, recyclable towel sets, digitally woven bed sheets and comforters could become standard. Brands like Mulberry Living are already hinting at “thoughtfully crafted” pieces.
Ultimately, evolution shows that luxury doesn’t have to be rarefied—it can be embedded in the daily rituals of making the bed, wrapping in a towel, pulling on a comfort blanket at dusk. When you choose your white sheets, your linen bed sheets, your queen size bed set or single bed bedsheets with intention, you are aligning with the future of home textiles: luxurious, purposeful and deeply personal.
