All About

Product Ideas

Throw blankets are warm, luxurious and a simple way to introduce a new fabric or color to a room.

Throws can transform any room into a vibrant personal statement with alluring textures, daring colors or warm sophistication.

For a casual and informal look, toss a throw over the back of a chair, the arm of a sofa, the end of a bed or even on the dining room table.

These types of blankets come in a huge array of fabrics, textures and colors — chenille, cotton, applique, velvet, beaded, handpainted, wool, cashmere, etc.

One current trend is the rustic elegance of American woolen patterns. The freedom throw is a generously sized piece of heritage that is important to our country today.

The elegance of a handpainted throw has the power to transform any room all by itself.

To make a luxurious throw on a budget, find two remnants of complementary fabrics such as dupioni silk and chenille. Sew them together with cording along the edges and tassels in each corner for a finishing touch.
