Throws and Blanket Ideas for the Home 

Throws and blankets are an essential part of homes that people want to spend time in. They serve as a cozy addition to your living space and add warmth to your bedroom. They also add plenty of texture and color to any area of your home, from your living room to your porch. The only problem is, there are so many types of throws and blankets to choose from! In this post, we will explore ten types of throws and blankets that are ideal for different areas of your house. 

Fleece blanket - Ideal for snuggling up on the couch during chilly evenings. These blankets are soft, lightweight, and warm, making them perfect for winter nights. Fleece blankets come in tons of colors and patterns, so you can choose one that suits your current décor. 

Sherpa throw - These have become a very popular choice for their plush and cozy texture. They are made from a combination of polyester and acrylic which makes them both warm and durable. Sherpa throws tend to come in multiple colors and designs, so it’s easy to match your home’s aesthetic. 

Woven blanket - Made with a loom, woven blankets come in unique textures and patterns and often look like one-of-a-kind items. They are often made from natural fibers like wool, cotton, or linen. They tend to be warm yet breathable, so they tend to work well for all seasons. Because they are so versatile, they’re ideal for anywhere you want a little extra warmth, from the back of your couch to the foot of your bed. 

Quilt - A timeless classic! They add charm and character to any home. Created by stitching together layers of fabric, they add significant warmth and coziness wherever they’re placed. Quilts come in an endless number of designs, from traditional patchwork to modern geometric patterns. A simple quilt in a classic color scheme is a great foundation for bedroom décor. We especially love versions that are reversible for more décor possibilities. Explore our favorite quilts here. 

Weighted blanket - Though a relatively new invention, weighted blankets have quickly become invaluable for many people. They are known for their therapeutic benefits and provide a comforting and calming effect. Filled with beads or pellets, these blankets create a sensation similar to a hug. They come in various sizes and weights, so you’ll want to look for one that suits your needs. Most people use them in their beds for better sleep. 

Printed throw - Bring a little pizazz to any room with a unique printed throw. You can find a lot of these throws in soft, cozy fabrics with really cool prints. For example, our Paris printed throw is a great size at 50” X 60” with an all-over romantic print of the Eiffel Tower and French phrases. It’s perfect for adding a chic vintage accent to your living room or bedroom and is bound to be a conversation starter. Plus it’s comfy! 

Faux fur - These blankets perform double duty. Not only are they exceptionally warm and cozy, but they also have a luxurious appearance that’s perfect for sprucing up your reading nook. If you want to add a touch of elegance then a faux fur throw is a great place to start. We love this ribbed faux rabbit throw that is oversized and perfect for any room. 

Eco-friendly - It’s always a great idea to consider the environment when making choices for the home. Luckily, there are a lot of great choices available for blankets created with sustainable practices and organic materials. For example, our poly cotton waffle blanket adds a fresh layer to your couch or bed and the OEKO-TEX® Certification guarantees it is free from harmful substances. It comes in a couple classic colors and is machine washable and easy to care for. It also makes a great gift for the earth lover on your list! 

Outdoor blanket - If you spend much time outside, then an outdoor blanket makes perfect sense. Whether you use it for spreading out a picnic, enjoying beach days, or relaxing in your favorite lawn chair, you’ll be happy you have a blanket made to be outdoors. These blankets are typically durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean - all of which make them ideal for outside use. You can find a great selection of outdoor blankets at sporting goods stores, outdoor gear retailers, or online marketplaces.

Duvet cover set - Soft and luxurious bedding can make a world of difference in how you sleep. Look for sets that come in 100% cotton sateen to give your bedroom a clean and classic look. A duvet set is also an easy way to spruce up an old comforter that you’re sick of - just slip a new duvet and pillowcases on. This version is made with cotton sateen for supreme softness and style, and the included pillow shams complete the ensemble.
