Blankets & Throws

Add warmth, comfort and texture to your home with beautiful blankets and throws from The Bedroom Shop. Perfect for layering over your bed, sofa or favourite chair, blankets and throws are versatile homeware essentials that combine practicality with style.

Whether you are looking for an extra layer of warmth on a cold winter night, a lightweight throw for cooler summer evenings or a decorative finishing touch for your bedroom or living room, our collection offers versatile options for every season and interior style.

A well-chosen blanket or throw can instantly make a room feel warmer and more inviting. Drape one across the foot of your bed, fold it over an armchair or place it casually over your sofa to introduce texture, colour and comfort.

At The Bedroom Shop, we offer blankets and throws that complement our extensive range of bedding, linen, furniture, rugs and homeware. Our own range of furniture and linen can also be combined with carefully selected accessories to create a beautifully coordinated interior.

Why Add a Blanket or Throw?

Blankets and throws are some of the easiest ways to update the look and feel of a room. Unlike larger furniture pieces, they can be changed seasonally or whenever you want to refresh your interior.

A throw can add a layer of colour or texture to a neutral bedroom, while a soft blanket can provide extra warmth and comfort during colder weather.

They are also incredibly versatile. Use them on beds, sofas, armchairs, daybeds and guest beds, or keep one nearby for cosy evenings at home.

Blankets for the Bedroom

Your bed is often the focal point of your bedroom, making a blanket or throw an easy way to enhance its overall appearance.

Layer a blanket at the foot of your bed over your duvet cover or quilt for an inviting, finished look. Fold it neatly for a more structured appearance or drape it casually for a relaxed aesthetic.

Blankets can also provide an additional layer of warmth when temperatures drop. Rather than replacing your entire bedding arrangement for winter, simply add an extra blanket or throw.

Combine your blanket with quality sheets, duvet covers, pillows, duvet inners and cushions to create a beautifully layered bed.

Throws for Living Rooms

Throws are not just for bedrooms. A stylish throw can make a living room feel more comfortable and welcoming.

Drape a throw over the arm of a sofa or chair so that it is always within easy reach. It can provide warmth while reading, watching television or relaxing in the evening.

Throws can also be used as decorative accents. Choose a colour or texture that complements your sofa, rug and other accessories to create a cohesive living space.

Add Texture to Your Interior

Texture plays an important role in creating an inviting interior. A room made up entirely of smooth surfaces can sometimes feel flat, while layers of different materials create visual interest and warmth.

Blankets and throws provide an easy way to introduce texture without changing your larger furniture pieces.

Pair a textured throw with crisp cotton bedding, a natural rug or upholstered furniture to create contrast and depth.

Even in a neutral room, combining different textures can create a sophisticated and comfortable appearance.

Blankets & Throws for Every Season

Different blankets and throws can be used throughout the year depending on their weight, material and warmth.

During colder months, a thicker blanket can provide an extra layer of insulation on your bed or sofa. During warmer months, a lightweight throw can be used as a decorative layer or for cooler evenings.

Having a selection of blankets allows you to adapt your bedroom and living spaces to the changing seasons while keeping your interior fresh.

Choosing the Right Blanket

When choosing a blanket, consider where you intend to use it and how much warmth you require.

For a bed, consider the size of your mattress and how you want the blanket to sit. A larger blanket can be used to cover more of the bed, while a smaller throw may be intended primarily as a decorative layer.

For sofas and chairs, choose a size that is easy to fold and keep nearby without overwhelming the furniture.

Material and texture are also important considerations. Think about how the blanket feels against your skin, how warm it is and how it will work with your existing bedding or furniture.

Choosing a Throw for Your Bedroom

A throw can be used to introduce a new colour or texture to your bedroom without committing to a major design change.

If your bedding is neutral, consider a throw in a complementary colour or textured finish. If your duvet cover already features a pattern or strong colour, a more understated throw can help balance the look.

For a more relaxed bedroom, drape the throw naturally over the foot or corner of the bed. For a more formal appearance, fold it neatly and place it centrally across the bed.

Blankets & Throws for Guest Rooms

Providing an extra blanket or throw in a guest bedroom is a simple way to make visitors feel more comfortable.

Guests have different temperature preferences, so having an additional layer available allows them to adjust their bedding according to their needs.

A beautifully folded blanket at the foot of the bed can also make the room feel more welcoming and professionally styled.

Pair it with quality guest bedding, comfortable pillows, a duvet inner and mattress protection to create a complete sleeping environment.

Blankets & Throws for Airbnb & Holiday Homes

Blankets and throws are practical additions to holiday homes and Airbnb properties. They can provide guests with an extra layer of warmth while also contributing to the overall appearance of the room.

A throw placed at the foot of the bed or over a sofa can make a holiday property feel more inviting and comfortable.

Choose versatile colours and practical materials that complement the property’s overall interior style. Having additional blankets available can also be useful in properties where guests visit throughout different seasons.

The Bedroom Shop can assist with furnishing holiday homes and Airbnb properties through our furniture, linen and turnkey furnishing solutions.

Styling Blankets & Throws

There are several simple ways to style blankets and throws.

At the foot of the bed: Fold a blanket neatly across the lower section of the bed for a classic appearance.

Casually draped: Allow a throw to fall naturally over one corner of the bed for a relaxed look.

Over a sofa: Drape a throw over the arm or back of a sofa so it is both decorative and easy to access.

On an armchair: Place a smaller throw over an occasional chair to create a cosy reading area.

Layered: Combine different textures and complementary colours for a more sophisticated interior.

The key is to choose colours and textures that work with the rest of the room.

Our Own Furniture & Linen

The Bedroom Shop offers our own range of furniture and linen, allowing you to create a cohesive interior from the bedroom through to the rest of your home.

Our blankets and throws can be combined with our bedding, furniture, rugs and other homeware to create coordinated spaces.
