Choose the Right Size
When selecting throws, consider their purpose and placement. Standard throw blankets are typically between 50" x 60" and 60" x 80". If you’re draping a throw over the back of a sofa or across the foot of a bed, opt for larger sizes, like 60" x 80", which covers more surface area and creates a cozier look.
Play with Colors and Patterns
Spring and summer might call for lighter, brighter patterns, while fall and winter can embrace darker, richer hues. For those who enjoy seasonal variety, consider the Meridan Pillow Cover to complement warm tones in your living room during the colder months.
For more intricate designs, the Botanical Linen Floral Pillow Cover adds a touch of nature to your home—ideal for spring refreshment.
Texture and Layering
Texture adds depth and interest to a space. Mix and match materials such as soft cotton, woven knits, and plush fleece. The Austin Pillow Cover brings a luxurious texture that's perfect for transitioning through the seasons.
Layering by stacking different textures and patterns creates a dynamic look. Complement your throws with the Designer Pillow Set of 3 to effortlessly achieve a polished appearance.
Perfect Placement
A thoughtfully placed throw can redefine a room. Try draping a throw diagonally across a couch for a relaxed, inviting appearance. If your space is more formal, neatly folding the throw and placing it at the sofa's edge might be the way to go. Adding matching cushions like those from our Designer Throw Pillow Covers collection can complete the look.
Buying Guidance
