The Art Of The Throw – How To Use Them. I think we all know that throw pillows are an amazing decorating accessory. They add color, texture, and softness to our rooms. Throws can do the same thing and also become an important part of your decor too. I love to add something cozy and cuddly to my home in the winter and nothing is better than a fun soft cuddly throw blanket.
You can find them in all the stores and they can range in price from reasonable to really outrageous. It just depends on the fabric and design, whether they are embellished or plain. Having something with a little embellishment is fun sometimes. I have one with some sequins and one with ribbons. I also love the ones with pretty fringe and tassels.
I dressed up an inexpensive Ikea throw with some pom poms for a more custom look too.
I found a great tutorial for you if you would like to customize one of your throws with some tassels.
This Giant Tassel Throw is gorgeous and Bre Purposed shares a great tutorial.
Once you have a few throws then the question is how do you decorate with them so they add to the character of your room. Here are a few ideas for you.
Need to fill up space and add interest to a room. A ladder is a fabulous way to add interest and to showcase your trows.
I used this throw to cover up some stains on a well-worn sofa. I just folded it in half and placed it down the middle to cover up the worn back and seats. Throw pillows further camouflage how worn the sofa is.
When the weather is warm you still want some cover for a nap, so that same throw works beautifully on the bed. Just throw it casually across the foot of the bed.
That same throw can transition into the living room for a totally different look. You can casually throw it across the back and seat of the sofa, or fold it and hang it on the back of the gray recliner to bring some color to that side of the room.
I love a pretty fur throw and they definitely add some elegance to any decor.
They’re also wonderful thrown across the foot of the bed ready to grab for nap time.
No matter how you casually throw them across a bed, they always look so pretty and so inviting. I think every bedroom needs one.
Even when the weather gets warmer, a throw is wonderful when the AC kicks on and you get a little chill. I use them all year round.
What is your favorite way to use a throw?
