How to Style Your Hangai Blanket or Throw at Home
Posted by Sladja van der Toorn on Sep 9th 2024
Hangai Mountain Textiles’ blankets and throws are more than luxury—they’re versatile accents that enhance your home’s aesthetic. Here’s how to style them seamlessly in any space.
Drape Over a Sofa or Armchair
Casual Drape: For a relaxed, inviting look, casually drape your throw over the back or arm of your sofa or chair. Let the fabric fall naturally to create a cozy, lived-in vibe that adds warmth to your seating area.
Neat Fold: If you prefer a more structured appearance, fold the throw neatly and place it over the back of the sofa or armchair. This method highlights the throw's design, making it a focal point in your living room.
Layer Blanket on Your Bed
At the Foot of the Bed: Position a throw at the foot of your bed to add both warmth and style. You can fold it lengthwise and lay it across the bed for a clean, tailored look, or drape it diagonally for a more dynamic and inviting appearance.
Layering: For a luxurious, layered effect, combine multiple throws of varying textures and colors. Start with a large, soft blanket as the base, then add a smaller, contrasting throw on top. This not only adds depth to your bed but also creates a snuggly, inviting atmosphere.
Style on a Bench or Ottoman
Casual Elegance: Drape a throw over one end of a bench or ottoman to introduce softness and elegance. This works particularly well with chunky knits or throws with fringed edges, adding a touch of casual sophistication to the room.
Fold and Stack: For a more organized look, neatly fold the throw and place it in the center of the bench or ottoman. You can also stack multiple throws of different sizes and colors for added visual interest.
Store Blanket in a Basket
Cozy Storage: Use a decorative basket to store and display your throws. Roll them up and arrange them neatly, or drape one over the edge for a relaxed, cozy look. This not only keeps your throws within easy reach but also adds a warm, inviting touch to your space.
Enhance a Reading Nook
Comfort and Warmth: A throw is an essential element in any reading nook, providing comfort and warmth as you settle in with a good book. Drape it over the back of your reading chair or fold it on the seat cushion, inviting you to wrap yourself up as you relax. Choose calming colors or soothing textures to enhance the cozy ambiance of your nook.
Add Texture to a Dining Room
Chair Accent: Throws can also be used in the dining area to add texture and warmth. Drape a throw over the back of your dining chairs for a cozy, welcoming feel, especially in cooler months. This adds a unique touch to your dining space and can be a delightful detail for your guests.
Table Runner: For a creative twist, use a narrow throw as a table runner. This works particularly well with lightweight throws in simple designs, adding a soft, inviting texture to your dining table.
Outdoor Styling
Patio Perfection: Extend the comfort of your throws to your outdoor spaces. Drape a blanket over patio furniture or outdoor chairs for added warmth during cool evenings. Choose durable, easy-to-clean throws that can withstand the elements while adding style to your outdoor retreat.
