Different Ways To Use A Blanket

A cozy blanket is more than just a warm accessory. In fact, you can use decorative blankets as home decorations to give your favorite furniture a fresh look. Now let's take a look at different ways to use blankets.

1. Put a blanket on your bed

If you really like your quilt but want a fresh look, then a blanket over it will do the trick. Throwing blankets should coordinate with the quilt, though, so keep that in mind when pairing. Choose a complementary or patterned solid-color quilt. You can throw your blanket to the corner of the bed and embrace the scruffy but homey look. Or fold it lengthwise in half, thirds, or even quarters at the foot of your bed. It can also be folded over the headboard or baseboard.

2. The quilt in place of the child

Blankets are great for use as children's bedding in place of quilts in the summer. After all, blankets tend to be the size of a double bed. In addition, throw blankets have long been used as safety blankets for small children to sleep in. So if your kids like the feel and warmth of a particular blanket in your home, consider letting them have it.

3. Decorate a chair or sofa in the living room

Put a blanket over the center of an old chair or sofa to give it a new look and give it a new look. Even if it's warm outside and you're not going to use it right now, you can use a blanket like you're redecorating an old chair. Consider experimenting with contrasting fabrics and textures to make the color and texture of the blanket really pop. For example, the smoothness and sheen of a leather sofa look cool when contrasted with the plush cashmere or mohair blanket that covers its back.

4. Make it a work of art

Folding a blanket and placing it in a basket is not only decorative, but it also provides a practical feel when you're cold. If you find a blanket with a cool design or pattern to add a pop of color to your home, but you don't want to hide it in your bedroom or basket, display it as wall art. You can fold it so that your favorite parts are visible, then fix it in a frame on the wall. You can also hang it on a short wooden ladder and lean it against the living room wall.

5. Add it to your dining room decor

Whether in the kitchen, dining room, or outdoor patio furniture, placing a blanket over the back of a bench or chair can really change the look and feel of the dining space. Add a throw pillow to make the area look like a mix of kitchen space and living space for entertaining or for your own enjoyment. It might end up being your favorite place in your house, and any of your dinner guests will love it.
