4 Different Ways to Style a Throw Blanket

Relaxed, welcoming, and always in style 

Perhaps the simplest and most popular method, the effortless, casual drape works wonderfully across the back or arm of a sofa. This easy, unstructured drape adds warmth and softness to your living room without feeling too ‘done’. The key here is to avoid overthinking. Allow one corner to spill gently over the edge for a relaxed, lived-in look. 

Choose a colour that speaks to the mood of your space. Stick to neutral hues like eucalypt, oatmeal, or charcoal for a classic touch, or go bold with a pattern to liven up your space.

Simple layers that speak to comfort 

At the foot of your bed, a neatly folded throw can elevate the entire room. Fold your Waverley Mills throw lengthwise into thirds or quarters and lay it flat across the end of your bed. This layering technique creates a boutique hotel feel, elevating even the simplest bedding ensemble. 

Choose a colour that complements your quilt cover or adds a pop of contrast. Our textured throws in herringbone or recycled wool bring dimension, textures and a refined finish to your bedroom sanctuary.

Practical, beautiful, and always within reach 

For a beautiful and practical storage option, fold your throw neatly and tuck it into a woven basket near your favourite reading nook or beside the lounge. Let a corner drape casually over the rim to soften the look. This styling trick not only keeps your space tidy but also adds a touch of softness to the space. 

This styling idea works especially well with heavier or fringed throws, which add volume and character. Pair it with a few coffee table books or a scented candle for a curated, cosy corner where you can settle in with a book and a warm cup of tea.

Understated elegance in the details 

Create a welcoming moment by tossing a throw over the back of a lounge chair or armchair. This technique softens lines, introduces texture and can make a space feel instantly more welcoming, even in the most minimalist spaces. 

Let the fringe fall naturally or tuck it in for a cleaner finish. It’s a simple trick that adds warmth, colour and an inviting softness to formal settings.
