This time of year is perfect for curling up on the sofa or snuggling up in bed and relaxing away from the cold winter weather. Blankets and throws are perfect for creating warmth and texture in the home and come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours and patterns that can be co-ordinated to your home interior.
Quilted throws are perfect for adding some luxury and opulence to a bedroom interior. These designs look great in satin or velvet finishes and can be draped along the bottom of the bed as a functional and eye-catching focal point. Opt for luxurious gold and silver for a glamorous interior look or bold red, purple or green for a period style ambiance. For a sleek and sophisticated finish then a bold black quilted throw will look fabulous on a plain white bed spread.
For a rustic and traditional look then why not select a tartan blanket that will look great draped along a chocolate brown or tan leather sofa for a cosy country style interior look. Opt for traditional red and green tartan for a pop of colour or select brown, cream and burnt orange for a more tonal and neutral look. For a more modern take on this design then select simple monochrome tartan throws that will look great on a plain white bed. You could also clash your tartan by adding a plaid blanket to a tartan armchair for a rich and inviting interior look and team with some stag, hare or fox print cushions that are hot on trend this winter season.
Faux fur is a great option for blankets and throws as they create a cosy and glamorous finish in any room of the home. For a classic Scandinavian interior design then opt for crisp white and grey fur throws that will look great on a white washed bed frame or a grey fabric sofa for a cool and crisp finish. Team with co-ordinating faux fur and linen cushions for a cosy winter feel. For a more rustic, ranch inspired design then opt for warm fox brown and chocolate faux bur blankets that will look amazing teamed with chocolate and tan leather sofas for a warm and welcoming design.
Tribal style blankets and throws are perfect for creating a bohemian style ambiance in your home interior and are a great way of adding pattern and print to an otherwise plain interior space. Oft for simple monochrome designs featuring tribal patterns and chevron print that will look fabulous in minimal or rustic home interiors. These blankets can also be hung from your walls for some tapestry inspired wall art. For a more colourful interior finish then why not select some bold African throws featuring gorgeous earthen orange, yellow and cream or bright or lively Mexican blankets featuring red, lime, blue and yellow hues and candy skull designs.
