8 Ways to Decorate With Throws & Blankets

Throws and blankets are still very popular purchases for bedrooms, family and living rooms, mostly because they are both functional and decorative. Here are some unique ways that I decorate with them both at home and on my staging projects:

  1. ROLL THEM INTO A WIRE BASKET - Roll throws into bundles and tuck them inside a wire basket. Choose blankets with different textures and colours to make the basket double as a pretty decor piece.

  2. DISPLAY YOUR THROWS ON A STYLISH LADDER - This is another great way to add colour, texture and a unique design element to any room. It’s also great if you need to create height against an empty wall.

  3. FILL A DECORATIVE BASKET - Baskets come in a wide variety of colours, sizes and designs. Have fun filling yours with multi-coloured throws or blankets, (purchased or your own DIY crochet or knitted blankets). Place it next to your fireplace or couch. Depending on the size, they often look nice under your coffee table.

  4. TRY A PLANTER BOX - Think outside of the box and consider alternative storage solutions like a wicker footed planter. I recently saw a trio of footed planters (varying sizes) which would look awesome in the corner of your living room or den.

  5. HANG THEM ON HOOKS - Create a wall of throws and blankets! Easy to grab, use and place back when you need to tidy up!

  6. ROLL THEM IN A WOOD HOLDER - A great off-season idea for your fireplace wood holder. Roll the throws and pile them inside!

  7. USE THEM ON A BED - a very common use to add a layered look to any bed - lots of unique ways to do this - lay across the bed (side to side) if the throw is long enough - it can be gathered or straight - drape casually across the end of the bed or just ‘throw’ it - where and how it lands becomes the design :)

  8. USE THEM ON COUCHES, CHAIRS & OTTOMANS - another very popular ways to use throws and blankets - they can be casually placed on couches and chairs to create ‘flow’ or folded and placed for a more formal, polished look.
