15 snuggly bed throws for a cosy bedroom
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to add comfort and character to your bedroom, opt for a snuggly bed throw. Available in a myriad of colours and materials, these versatile pieces are perfect for bringing depth and texture to a room – and often on a reasonable budget.
How to style a bed throw
Whether you choose to irregularly drape your throw over the corner of your bed, style it across the width of the bed, fold it neatly over pillows or layer it up with colour and texture, there are many ways you can use a bed throw to create a cosy, homely feel.
Achieve a classic look by splaying your throw out across the whole bed – like how you would a bedspread. Once flattened and tidy, tuck the edges of the throw into the bed to create a look that mimics that of hotel luxury. Don't forget, throws and blankets are a versatile addition to any decor – they can also be used as a blanket for warmth, as well as draped over other areas of your home such as the sofa.
What material is best for a bed throw?
The material you choose for your bed throw depends on how you'll use it. Ask yourself: is the bed throw purely for decoration purposes? Do I want my bed throw to double up as a cosy blanket? If you're planning to use your throw as a snuggly blanket, don’t forget to consider how hot it will get. A warm bed throw, such as a fleece throw, is perfect for the winter months but will likely become too hot in the summer.
It's important to choose a throw material that works harmoniously with the rest of your bedroom decor. If your bedroom is lacking depth, opt for a textured bed throw such as a knitted or quilted throw – the added texture will give the illusion of a cosier, warmer bedroom space. At the same time, don’t pick a throw that would appear out of place to the rest of your bedroom scheme. Creating a cohesive style that blends seamlessly throughout your home is key to a relaxing, calming environment – so choose wisely.
