How To Choose The Right Faux Fur Throw Or Other Blanket For Your Needs

By Pamela Olson


Decorating your home can be fun but challenging. Picking items that are both beautiful and functional can make for a comfortable and intimate environment. If you are considering adding a faux fur throw or other throw blanket to different areas in your home, here are some things to consider before you go shopping.

These blankets can look great in a number of different rooms in your home. It is always nice to have one placed in living rooms or family rooms so that you can curl up under it while on a couch or in a chair. They also look wonderful in a bedroom and can be spread over a bed for extra warmth or for a pop of color.

While most people simply pick a throw that they like the look and feel of this approach may end up with you picking one you are not totally happy with. Some throws can be fairly pricey so it is important to make sure that you are very happy with your choice as a way to not waste money.

Throws are a wonderful way to add visual interest to a room. You may want to consider using them to add a pop of a trendy color since it can be replaced easily and inexpensively when you are tired of the color. You may want to think about the color of furnishings and other accents as well as any other fabric patterns in the room so that you can determine whether your choice will work with your current decor.

If you are looking for warmth from the throw that you purchase, you may want to think about a heavier fabric. Some fantastic options include faux fur or knits that are made out of heavier weight yarn. While wool is a great way to keep warm, you should remember that a number of people have allergies or sensitivities to this material and it may not be the best choice for your home.

If you are looking more for a decorative option, size may not be as much of an issue. It can simply be folded in a number of different shapes and displayed on the back of a couch or on the end of a bed. If, however, you want to be able to keep warm using the blanket, you will want to make sure that it is large enough to cover you up.

In the past these items were not as common but since they are much more popular these days it is easy to find options to choose from. You may want to look online or in local specialty home stores. Even department stores will have versions that you can choose from. Just make sure to check the size and give any blanket a touch when possible to make sure you like the way it feels.

It is important to take care of your throw to keep it looking as good as possible. Keep an eye on the cleaning instructions should you need to wash it. If it is made of woven or knit fabric, check it periodically to make sure that there are no pulls or snags in the yarn. Then it will look beautiful for as long as you want to display it.
