    Learn More About Throws

    Throw blankets are typically smaller than blankets used for bedding. The standard size of throw blankets is 50 by 60 inches, but there are also larger throws if you’re looking for something more akin to a classic blanket.


    Throws are often used to enhance the décor of your bedroom or living room, as an accent piece on your bed or couch to freshen up the space. Throws are also practical — you can use them to snuggle up on the couch when binging your favorite shows or to warm up on your patio during the summer months. You can also take them with you on a day trip, camping, or picnic, as they are lightweight and easy to pack.

    Throws come in a wide range of designs, colors, and materials. Here are some of the most popular styles.


    • Wool throw: Throws made of wool are durable and breathable and work for virtually any interior.
    • Fleece throw: Fleece blankets are very popular because they are soft, cozy, and easy to care for.
    • Cashmere throw: If you’re looking for something soft and luxurious, you can’t go wrong with a cashmere throw.
    • Cotton throw: This breathable material works for all seasons.
    • Fur throw: Fur blankets and faux fur throws are a perfect choice for winter and as a statement décor piece.
    • Knitted throw: Handcrafted knitted throw blankets are beautiful and extra cozy, like a giant sweater.
    • Heated throw: When you need a little extra warmth and comfort, heated throws will keep you toasty.
    • Custom throw: Looking for a unique gift? Some Etsy sellers make custom throws featuring your name or photos as well as monogram throws with the initials of your choice.

    Whether you’re decorating with a throw in the living room or bedroom, here are a few tips to keep in mind.


    Color: When styling a throw to fit your interior, consider color. One option is to go for a color that matches other shades in the room. For example, you could get a navy throw blanket to match the shade of your curtains. You can also use throws to add a vibrant splash of color, like adding a red throw blanket to a white or black room. Or go for a monochromatic look by pairing a black throw with a gray couch or a brown throw blanket with a tan chair.


    Folds: You can fold your throw to make it look more neat and intentional. Fold it into thirds and drape it over a couch, chair, or the end of a bed. For a more casual look, gather it up and toss it over the edge of a decorative basket or hang it on a decorative ladder..
