How To Incorporate a Throw Blanket into Your Home
See. Throw blankets are really versatile, and we love that they’re an affordable way to spruce up any setting. No skill is needed to use one, but our interior design experts do have some tips.
✅ How to Use a Throw on the Couch
Whether reading a book, watching a movie, or vegging out as a couch potato, draping a throw blanket you can wrap around yourself on your couch is a great way to help you relax and make an effortless style statement while at it. It’s also a great way to indicate which seats are safe to sit in since guests and household members alike will enjoy the welcoming of throw blanket.
✅ How to Use a Throw on Your Bed
Do you need more color to brighten your plain duvet or bed cover? A throw blanket is an excellent idea. It’s also more affordable, so if you’re on a bedroom budget, definitely consider a throw.
✅ How to Use a Throw on a Rocking Chair
With a throw, you can make that lonely rocking chair on your patio look warm, welcoming, and cozy. Just drape one over the arms, and next time you’re ready for a mid-day rocking session, you’ll be ready with your faithful throw.
✅ How to Use a Throw on Your Dining Chair
Especially during the winter, a throw blanket works perfectly on a dining chair to keep your legs toasty during a meal.
✅ How to Use a Throw on a Stool
You can always have a few throw blankets, especially when you have a large family. We love carefully folding soft and pretty throw blankets and arranging them on a stool in the living room to make a statement with purpose.
The Perfect Throw Blankets for Different Interior Designs
As stated earlier, apart from keeping you warm during the cold winter, blankets provide softness and an authentic lived-in feel, especially when moving into a new home or redecorating. Colors, patterns, and textures help to reinforce your overall theme, allowing you to own your space. Here we will discuss a couple of modern interior design themes and the perfect throw blanket to blend nicely with the theme.
Rustic Design
A rustic-styled interior design is a beautiful blend of handmade, stark color, gritty, and warm decor and accessories. To portray the rustic style’s total capacity, it is best to use natural materials in their most organic state, from the wooden floor to stucco texture slabs and unfinished pieces such as large door knobs, an ancient fireplace, and so on. Depending on your style and personal taste, adding a faux fur throw blanket will blend perfectly with a rustic interior design, but simple throws such as the Samsen blanket on our list also work well with the design.
Mid-Century Modern Design
The beautiful architecture of mid-century modern design allows for flowing spaces between rooms and open-concept floor plans. Wooden furniture pieces are a staple for this design; they emphasize the feeling of more air and space in each room. Clean lines, functionality, and modesty were the basis of this gorgeous mid-20th-century interior design. As a result of the minimalist and straightforward nature of this design, a plain-colored soft linen throw blanket blends perfectly well with this design.
Farmhouse Interior Design
The farmhouse interior design style embraces natural elements and highlights the beauty of imperfections, using clean lines and a sleek aesthetic. This design incorporates cozy interiors with layers, patterns, and neutral colors, infusing countryside elements that adapt to any home environment. The perfect throw blanket will be the ivory taupe throw blanket.
How To Style a Throw Blanket
It is one thing to buy a throw blanket and another to style it into a stylish finished look. When looking to style your throw blankets, here are some great styles you can consider.
Prim and Proper
This presentation requires a blanket that is folded length-wise and then draped neatly over a couch or armchair's headrest. If you like your space looking neat, tidy, and clean, this is the best style, but remember to keep the couch and chair open with throw pillows to maintain this look.
Low Hang
This style is similar to the prim and proper style, however, it is less formal and hangs over the arm of the chair, not the headrest. This style works beautifully with tasseled or fringed throws and helps to establish a calm and laid-back look with the tassel hanging down.
Basket Toss
This style is an easy way to decorate your space with a basket and a throw blanket. Place a fancy basket in the corner of the room, then throw in a basket, allowing some part of the throw to hang out of the basket and drape it to the floor lightly. This is a hit in farmhouse homes!
Wall Hang
This style requires a fancy ladder or a wall hanger. All you have to do is hang your throw on the decorative ladder or wall hanger, showing it off subtly when not in use.
Bed Drape
The bed drape is another popular throw blanket style. Here, you can style your blanket in two ways. First, fold it nicely and gently drape it over the duvet or bed covering at the edge of the bed. In the second method, stretch out your blanket on a plain surface, pick up the throw at the center of the longest edge, and carefully place it at the edge of the bed.

FAQs
Here are a few more tips about throw blankets.
Q: What is the best size for a throw blanket?
A: The ideal measurement for a throw blanket is 50"x60", which is large enough to cover most people from head to toe without being too bulky or heavy. This portable size also allows the blanket to be easily folded or draped, making it easy to use.
Q: What fabric is best for a throw blanket?
A: Most people prefer cotton throw blankets because cotton is durable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. Fleece blankets are super soft, lightweight yet extra warm, and made of acrylic fibers. Fleece is comfortable and cozy, making it a perfect fabric for the entire year.
