Staying comfortable throughout the year is essential to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere at home enjoyed by you and your guests. Whether draped over furniture as a decor element and used to snuggle up on cold evenings, throw blankets are one of the most versatile accessories that adds to any style for any season.
Throw blankets come in all sizes, colours and fabrics to fit all year around, from breathable thin linen throws in the summer and breezy summer evenings to dense fleece throws that keep you warm and toasty during colder months.
Finding the right throw starts with establishing what you are looking for like your preferences, personal style, what fits your home’s colour scheme, and the season to choose the appropriate size and thickness of your throw.
How do I find the right size throw?
Start with considering the purpose of your throw and what size will be appropriate.Our small throws start at 130x150 cm like our Checked Fleece Blanket and go all the way up to 140 x 230 cm like our Halo Bedding quilt.
Smaller throws are most versatile and optimal for travelling and any on the go activities. Use our Checked Fleece Blanket as your picnic base for warm summer days and take a Fleece Throws with piled layers to wrap yourself in on breezy camping trips, aeroplane travels or as a cinema accessory.
Throws are also a perfect accessory to elevate and protect your furniture. Choose a throw that is longer to drape over a chair, like our Hepburn Throw or go shorter and wider to dress a sofa with our Morland Throws by Kilburn & Scott.
