Throw Blankets

How to use throw blankets

Soft, versatile, and endlessly stylish, throw blankets bring warmth and visual depth to any room. Drape a throw over a lounge chair, sofa, or the foot of a bed to instantly elevate your space. They’re especially effective when layered with your cushions and cushion covers — a combination that adds comfort and a considered, lived-in feel. Whether you opt for classic neutrals or seasonal colour, throws are a simple way to create texture and movement within your overall styling scheme.

The beauty of throw blankets lies in their ability to both soften and define a space. Use a folded throw along the back of a sofa for a tailored look, or style it more casually by draping it across the armrest or ottoman. When paired with your couch cushion arrangement, it helps create a sense of balance and visual flow. Play with contrast — combine lightweight textures with chunkier knits, or offset clean lines with relaxed, gently crumpled throws for a welcoming, effortless finish.

As well as being practical, throw blankets are one of the easiest ways to elevate a bedroom. A throw folded at the end of the bed introduces a sense of layering, structure, and softness — especially when used to enhance your bedroom cushions. Choose colours that either echo your bedding or contrast gently for added interest. Lightweight cotton throws feel fresh and breathable in warmer months, while heavier weaves add weight and warmth through the cooler seasons — creating a space that feels complete and comfortable all year round.
