Throw Blankets

A throw is a simple way to bring colour, texture and a sense of comfort into your living room. Drape it over the sofa, fold it on a bed or keep a few in a basket for guests.

What is a throw blanket?

A throw is a blanket used for both decoration and everyday comfort. It can sit within reach on a sofa, add a layer at the foot of a bed or accompany you to a seat on the terrace.

How does a throw differ from a bed blanket?

The names overlap. Throws are often chosen as decorative accents, while bed blankets are selected to cover a mattress and the person sleeping under them. Compare the listed measurements, thickness and composition to choose a blanket for your intended use.

Five ways to use a throw

1. On the sofa

Drape it over an armrest or one corner of the back. It adds a visible layer and stays within reach when you sit down to read or watch a film.

2. In a basket

Fold or roll a few throws in a basket. Let one corner show to repeat a colour from the room while keeping the rest neatly stored.

3. On the bed

Fold a throw across the foot of the bed, or arrange it diagonally over one corner. Match a cushion for a coordinated look or use a contrasting shade as an accent.

4. In your home office

Keep a throw on a nearby chair for a break from your desk. Choose a colour that connects the workspace with the rest of your home.

5. On the terrace

Set a few throws aside for an evening outdoors. Bring them inside afterwards and store them dry. Choose weather-resistant garden textiles for seating that stays outdoors.
