Throws, Throws Throws!

May 07, 2024

Throw blanks are a common accessory to any room. They are more than simply functional, they are style-makers that add pattern, color and warmth to your room.

They are lightweight, can be placed anywhere and make fantastic house-warming and holiday gifts.

Here are some ideas on how to make your throw look great and some ideas you may have not have thought about.

Protection:

Drape over the center of a chair & place pillow on top to add warm and layering.

This also works as a protective barrier on cushions. If you have pets who like to sit on your furniture, this is a great way to keep the pet hair off the seats.

Table Decor:

Use a woven throw on a table in place of a table cloth. One of our lovely customers sent us this photo of their kitchen. Look how warm and inviting her kitchen its.

Create a casual cascade. Drape your throw over the back right or left side of a high-back chair. Don't worry about how it falls, it will look so warm and cozy. Choose a throw with fringed edges so it finishes looking soft as it nears the back leg.

Over-the-arm, waiter style:

One of the easiest ways to drape a thin throw is to fold it lengthwise and drape it over the arm. If it is too long after you fold it lengthwise, fold it in half.

Bedroom warmth: Simple bedding can acquire a more personal look when you add a throw. Simply fold it neatly, lengthwise and drape it across the end of the bed. It comes in handy when you are watching TV or reading a book during the day and need a little extra warmth, but don’t want to get under the covers of the bed and mess it up.
