More than just a piece of fabric, the blanket is appreciated for its warmth , comfort and companionship during charming evenings. We focus on the best blanket... Find out how to choose your ideal blanket .
How to choose the best throw according to your decoration style?
More than an ally for keeping warm, the blanket has become over the years a decorative element in its own right. Depending on the material and color, the result will not be the same. It is therefore important to choose the blanket that is most consistent with your sofa, but also with your furniture, the color of your walls and the style of decoration that you have chosen for your interior.
The place where the blanket will be placed also determines which blanket is best for you. A throw for the living room will not be the same as a throw for a bedroom. In the living room, if the dominant style is Scandinavian, it is fur or faux fur that you should move towards. The colorimetry oscillates between white, beige and light gray. We avoid flashy colors, which are too sharp compared to the refined atmosphere that comes to us from the north.
If your interior is more inspired by the ethnic atmosphere and you have highlighted objects from the four corners of the world on your shelves, choose a throw made of natural material such as linen, wool or cotton . In terms of color, natural or pastel shades are more than welcome.
If your interior is modern and luxurious, maintain this classy spirit in the choice of throw, by opting for high quality materials such as silk or cashmere... there is nothing more chic.
A blanket in the bedroom? To guide you in your choice, define the level of warmth you want, and match it to your bedding set . No mistake, you can choose a complementary or matching color.
Best blanket: choosing the warmest blanket
The blanket is appreciated for the decorative touch it adds to your interior , but let's be honest, a blanket is above all there to keep us warm.
What material keeps you warmest? The faux fur throw has the advantage of raising the temperature. Easy to maintain, it is ideal if you share your life with children or animals. Made up of synthetic, so it’s not the most eco-friendly or durable material.
What a warm alternative to faux fur? Good news, there is not just one alternative, there are three; but they require maintenance and cost more than faux fur throws. However, these throws are more durable and more aesthetic, they bring that touch of chic to your sofa.
- Wool is known for keeping you warm , even very hot. With this material, say goodbye to chills.
- Cashmere is the soft alternative to wool. Very warm and with a pleasant feel, cashmere is the chic and comfortable material par excellence.
- Alpaca is also a great alternative to faux fur. Natural and durable, this material adapts perfectly to all interiors, and is suitable for everyone.
What size should you choose for your blanket?
Guess what...the best throw is the one that ticks all the boxes for your comfort!
You will need to choose the size of your blanket according to the use you make of it. Do you love putting your blanket on your shoulders? Choose a blanket in 110x150 cm or 130x170 cm .
You like to slip completely under this thin layer of pure warmth, go a little bigger with 140x180 cm or 150x170 cm.
Want to cocoon for two under the same blanket, it's entirely possible by choosing the 160x200 cm format. Very generous, this format is perfectly suited for two people .
The size has an impact on the aesthetic appearance of your blanket. The larger it is, the more difficult it will be to arrange in a harmonious way.
So if you like aesthetics as much as warmth, but you need a large blanket, choose two medium-sized blankets over one large blanket. You can elegantly arrange the two throws on both sides of the sofa.
