Throw blankets are a timeless way to add comfort, color and texture to any space in your home. Whether you want a soft fleece throw to curl up with on the couch or an embroidered quilt you can drape over the end of your bed, there are countless throw blanket options in various colors, materials, patterns and sizes. Here are some types of throw blankets to consider for adding coziness and charm to your home.
Blue Striped Throw Blanket
Nautical striped blankets in shades of blue and white evoke a sense of calm and relaxation. A horizontal striped throw folded at the end of your bed or draped over a wingback chair adds visual interest with bold color blocking. Navy blue and white striped throws go with most decor styles from traditional to modern Farmhouse. Choose a thicker woven cotton or linen throw in a loose stripes pattern for a relaxed coastal look. Thinner acrylic throws with thinner stripes have a more tailored appearance that works well in cottage core or beachy boho decor.
Green Chunky Knit Throw Blanket
Big, bulky knit throws in earth tones like olive green and taupe add instant hygge vibes.The textured fibers of a chunky knit throw in a solid color or simple geometric pattern provide coziness. These heavy weight throw blankets are ideal for curling up on an overstuffed couch or reading chair during the colder months. Choose a throw made from natural fiber yarns like wool or a wool blend for breathability. Avoid acrylic throws if you want a truly cozy and breathable blanket for snuggling and reading. Wool and wool blend knit throws will also keep their shape wash after wash.
Green Bay Packers Plush Fleece Throw Blanket
For diehard football fans, nothing beats lounging under a throw blanket emblazoned with their favorite team’s logo. Sports fleece throws in the colors and insignia of the Green Bay Packers instantly transform any room into game day headquarters. Packers fleece throws make perfect gifts for the fan in your life or a perfect addition to your own man cave or den. Look for plush microfleece throws with screen printed or embroidered logos that won’t fade or crack after years of use. Team themed throws in fun fleece patterns like snowflake, buffalo check and argyle, add personality to sports bars, game rooms and basements and pump up fans during game days.
Embroidered Chenille Throw Blankets
Embroidered chenille throw blankets add feminine charm and texture to a room. Chenille is a cotton or polyester pile yarn with a texture resembling plush velvet. Embroidery enhances chenille throws by adding dimensionality through stitches that raise or lower the surface of the fabric. Look for chenille throws with embroidery in floral, lattice or geometric patterns in soft colors like blush, gray and ivory. These cozy throws work well in living rooms, bedrooms and guest rooms with cottage core, farmhouse or boho decor styles. Washable chenille embroidered throws are a low maintenance way to inject personality and style into any space.
Plaid Flannel Throw Blankets
Plaid flannel throws instantly evoke the feeling of an autumn harvest or festive winter holiday. Throws made from classic autumnal plaids like buffalo check and oversized hounds tooth in warm tones of red, green, gray and tan are right at home draped on a bench at the foot of the bed or folded across the back of an overstuffed reading chair. Plaid flannel throws are extremely functional—offering warmth, comfort and softness during colder weather. When choosing a plaid flannel throw, look for one made with double brushed flannel on both sides or a cotton/polyester blend that resists pilling after repeated use and washing.
