25 Ways To Decorate With Throw Blankets To Make Your Home Extra Cozy

Don't let a perfectly draped blanket elude you any longer! Decorating with throw blankets is a simple and chic way to make any space feel more warm, inviting and cozy (especially for the fall and winter seasons), and we're sharing designer tips for styling them with ease. Get ready to amp up the style in your living room, bedroom, entry or even your dining room with these easy decorating ideas featuring cozy and beautiful throws.

Keeping things minimalist in the bedroom is a great way to achieve a dreamy oasis, but it can also run the risk of being just a touch too stark. Revamp your crisp linens by working in a plush throw blanket to add a bit more texture to your overall setup. Stick with an option within the same color palette and you’ll be able to keep that neutral look while incorporating a cozy addition.

Whether you’re using benches as seating in your entryway or just want a timeless piece of furniture to fill in any gaps in your interior, they’re the perfect pieces for some added style. Place a throw blanket or two right on top of your bench for an on-trend upgrade that will transform your space in all the right ways.

If the side of your sofa is looking a bit drab, liven things up by introducing a throw blanket to this underutilized spot. Whether you want to stick with a tone-on-tone look or go bold with unexpected contrast, the sides of your seating will never look better. Want to take it a step further? Add a trendy side table and a potted plant to create a layered corner that will wow.

Decor, including a throw blanket, has the power to change just about any room for the better. One way these small touches do wonders? Playful pops of bright colors. If a space is feeling too bland or monochromatic, the addition of a colorful piece will introduce just the right amount of vibrancy. Simply drape a bright throw on any chair, bed or bench for a refresh that will bring the perfect splash of character.

If pops of color don't suit your style, layering with tone-on-tone textiles can make a space feel ultra chic. Since color isn't the focus of this styling trick, it's all about texture. Elevate your space with luxe fabrics like cashmere, chenille and velvet in the same shade as your sofa or lounge chair, like the beige duo in this stunning living room designed by Gillian Segal.

Throw blankets aren’t reserved only for couches and beds. These soft textiles look just as charming when they’re kept on full display. Rather than stashing away your cozy options, keep them right where you can see them with the help of some chic exposed storage. A rustic ladder, for example, is the ideal piece to lean against any blank wall and adorn with your favorite throws. Easy access and a stylish upgrade that will turn any room into a showstopper.

Give any living space a refresh by dressing up the sofa with some layered throw blankets. This blanket pairing approach will create a next-level seating area that is just as stylish as it is comfortable. Mix and match different colors, patterns and materials to achieve a design-forward transformation that only takes a minute or two.

Try the same layered look on other furniture too, like daybeds, loveseats and benches.

Add style and protect furniture from dirty paws with a strategically placed throw blanket. Cover Fido's favorite spot on the couch with a washable throw to prevent pulls and stratches and easily cleanup messes.

A formal dining room is a classic feature to have in your home — but that doesn't mean it has to be stuffy. Give your dining space a touch of relaxed flair by throwing a blanket over the back of one of the chairs. If your head chairs are different styles than the rest of the seats around the table, consider draping both with cozy throws to make them stand out even more.

A soft color palette and upholstered rocker give this room a retreat vibe, but the bedding plays a big role in setting the serene scene. Paired with linen shams and a stitched quilt, the chunky throw blanket beckons you to curl up for a snooze.

Reading nooks come in a variety of sizes and styles — from built-in seating to makeshift corners — but they're always a welcome addition. Make your favorite reading spot ultra inviting with a brushed wool throw blanket and a pile of comfy pillows. You'll want to stay curled up here long after you finish the last page.

If your throw blanket isn't big enough to stretch across the bed, don't fret. Any size blanket can be casually tossed on a bedroom bench to channel your favorite boutique hotel. Pair it with a tray so you're always ready to have breakfast in bed.

The key to creating stunning transitional spaces in your home, like this eye-catching entryway, is balancing elegance and warmth. Here, the grand floor mirror, marble checkered floor and velvet bench are paired with a rustic woven basket and a fringed throw to soften the look.

Why stop at one throw blanket when you can have two? In this peaceful bedroom an oversized throw makes the bed feel enticingly layered, while a smaller one on the settee gives the space a laidback feel.

Contemporary design is seriously swoon-worthy but can be tricky to incorporate into your own interior aesthetic. Want a space that has modern flair but still rocks charming qualities? Throw blankets will help you soften up any too-harsh areas.

If you don’t know how to go about decorating an empty — or under-designed — room, the addition of a bold pattern is the perfect way to completely transform the space. Skip expensive and time-consuming updates and start with a printed throw blanket for an easy switch-up. From geometric patterns to traditional prints, like stripes or florals, this new focal point will add just the right amount of visual depth to an area that needs a boost.

This all-white living room isn't lacking in charm. The built-in bookshelves and custom window seat add plenty of character, but it's the pastel accents that take it from simple to sweet. Recreate the look in your home by adding pale-colored pillows and a delicately draped pastel throw to white furniture.

The key to nailing chill throw blanket styling in your space: Don't fuss. Take a cue from this minimalist sitting room and toss a throw on an empty bench or ottoman — literally. Just toss it. The more you try to tweak the folds, the less natural a blanket looks. Achieve peak relaxed style by actually relaxing.

Turn an unused corner into a cozy relaxation spot in a snap. All you need is a comfy chair and a few items to make sure your designated area is well equipped with everything you need to settle in. An oversized basket that’s well stocked (read: overflowing) with a variety plush blankets is a no-brainer. Finish off this curated corner with some well-placed plants and lighting and you'll be all set to kick back and relax.

Add double the amount of style by introducing two of the same throw blankets in the same space. This cohesive approach will make any room look perfectly curated and magazine-worthy. For the most impactful effect, arrange two of the same throws on matching chairs. Don’t stop there, though. Try out an eye-catching color or pattern on this duo to really make the set stand out.

Make a kid's space — whether it's a bedroom or a playroom — even more fun with a pile of vibrant throws. Layer one (or two or three!) on the bed to play up a bold palette or let them spill out of a toy chest or basket for extra pops of color.

A beautiful blanket can become a keepsake that adorns your child's space as they grow. This chunky knit throw is an eye-catching design element in this darling nursery — and it has the makings of family heirloom to be cherished for years to come. What makes it even more special? You can make your own — no knitting skills required.
