Nothing puts the finishing touch on your home decor - and creates a cozy aesthetic - like an assortment of throw blankets. Drape a plaid knit blanket over the suede armchair in your den or place a quilted blanket over the solid duvet in your guest bedroom. Throw blankets are the perfect way to experiment with colors, prints and textures, adding an extra layer of dimension to any room. Let’s explore all the fun ways to accent your home with throw blankets so you can create a cohesive look that’s warm and inviting.
Consider Your Color Palette
Typically, a throw blanket is the last addition to your room decor, so it’s important to think about your current color theme. Brighten up a beige or gray master bedroom by adding decorative pillows and accent blankets in sunset hues like gold, blush, burnt orange or bold red. If you prefer calming colors, consider soft blues and greens to set the tone for peace and tranquility.
Play with Texture
Color and prints aren’t the only way to add dimension to a room. A great design aesthetic is all about playing with bold textures and soft layers. Consider draping a chunky knit blanket over smooth leather accent furniture or layer a knobby-knit blanket over a chevron-knit blanket in your guest bedroom. It’s all about creating contrast that catches the eye.
Fashion and Function
While some blankets are purely for show, you’ll also want to stock your home with blankets that serve a specific purpose, too. Consider seasonal styles like an electric throw blanket you can warm your toes with in the winter and a cooling throw blanket so you can still cuddle up in the summer. Weighted throw blankets are also trending right now because they create a calming effect and may even increase your serotonin levels. When you wear a weighted blanket, it’s almost like you’re getting a constant hug.
