How to drape a throw on a sofa
Tired of not knowing how to present your throw for the utmost visual impact? Whether you prefer a chunky knitted throw or something soft and silky, discover our top five favourite ways to style a throw for your couch.
Polished to perfection
If you like the neat and tidy look, then we recommend carefully folding your throw lengthwise into thirds and then draping it over the back of the couch, with any tassels or fringing pointing down. This chic and organised approach to ‘cosi-fying’ your couch is all about precision, so it’s important to fold the throw accurately, giving you clean and elegant lines.
Make your footstool more functional
An essential for putting your feet up after a long, hard day, footstools are also an ideal place to pop your throw. This is easily achieved by simply folding the throw into quarters and placing it onto the surface of your footstool. Convenient to grab as you cuddle up on the couch, it adds instant interest without taking up space on your sofa.
Bring in a basket
Ideal if you have a busy home filled with pets or kids, a handy basket can be the perfect place to store your throw. Simply roll the blanket up and pop inside a decorative basket (we recommend a rustic woven basket) next to your sofa. Alternatively, you can create a more casual aesthetic by keeping the throw unrolled and draping corners over the side of the basket.
Put it on display
With this next styling option, you can put your cherished family throw front and centre. If you’d rather show off the pattern or colours of your throw, you’ll want it on display instead of tucked away in a basket. Offering easy access and visual interest, simply add a decorative ladder next to your sofa and adorn it with the folded throw.
Go casual with an effortless approach
If you want to make your living space more relaxed and inviting, we suggest adopting a casual approach to styling your sofa throw. This involves loosely draping the throw across the back corners of the couch through to the front and over the arms, creating a laid-back appearance. Finally, add a plumped-up cushion on top to avoid the area looking messy and create a more welcoming touch.
