How to Style a Throw Blanket: 5 Easy Ways to Make Any Room Look Pulled Together

A throw blanket might be one of the easiest ways to change the look of a room - but actually styling one? That’s where most of us get stuck.

Whether you’ve just picked up a new woven throw or you’re looking to give your space a little seasonal refresh, these five ideas will help you with your throw blanket styling like it belongs in a design magazine. (No interior design degree required.)

1. The Casual Sofa Drape

Searches for how to style a throw on a sofa are on the rise - and this is the easiest method. Fold your throw loosely in half and let it hang diagonally over one arm of your sofa. Don’t overthink it. The slightly undone feel makes it look lived-in and relaxed.
 

Best for: heavier woven throws like The Scenic Route Throw.

2. Folded Over the Foot of the Bed 

If you’re wondering how to style a throw on a bed, this is a go-to. Simply fold your throw in thirds lengthwise, then lay it flat across the bottom quarter of your bed. It adds texture and visual weight without interrupting your colour scheme.

Pro tip: Try contrast - a rich green or deep blue against crisp white bedding always works.

3. Layered Over a Chair

Drape your throw over the back of a lounge chair or dining chair for that styled but not staged look. It softens harder materials like wood or steel and creates instant warmth.

Best for: textured or patterned throws that add a focal point (like The Interlude Throw)  

4. Rolled in a Basket 

Yes, it’s Pinterest 101 - but it works. Roll your throw and store it in a low basket near your sofa or bed. It’s practical, but also gives that effortless ‘curated home’ feel. Search terms like decorative throw blanket storage and blanket basket styling are consistently popular for a reason.

Best for: chunky knits or fringe-edge styles that peek over the edge.

5. Hung as a Wall Tapestry 

If the pattern’s bold enough, a throw can double as wall art. Secure it with clips or rods and hang it above a bed, sofa or entryway table. It adds dimension and works especially well in rented spaces where you want visual impact without paint.

Best for: scenic designs like The Field Trip Throw or geometric patterns with strong lines.

Final tip:

Choose a throw that doesn’t just match your aesthetic - choose one that makes you want to reach for it. Texture and tone go a long way, but so does how it feels at the end of a long day.
