LIVING ROOM DECOR – 3 WAYS TO USE A THROW BLANKET

March 5, 2014
  • Share

Wondering how to inject a little bit of style into your living room without having to buy big new pieces of furniture. For around $300, a simple luxe cotton throw blanket in a geometric pattern can do the trick.

See how one COCOCOZY Throw Blanket adds style to three very different living spaces.

Navy blue Gate Throw Blanket

1. ACROSS THE BACK OF A SOFA (below)
You might recall your grandmother having a blanket of some sort across the back of her sofa…well this is the sleek modern update to that look!

2. DOWN THE MIDDLE OF A CHAIR (below)
In lieu of a throw pillow, use a geometric print throw to decorate a comfy arm chair in a living room.

A tan Gate Throw blanket is draped down the center of a big armchair and tucked under the seat cushion in a small Los Angeles cottage (my house before I redid the living room) (above)

3. DRAPE OVER SOFA ARM (below)
For a delicate approach to using a throw blanket as an accent piece, simply drape over the arm of a chair or sofa.  Make sure the throw color picks up some of the colors in your space to tie everything together.

Rust colored Gate Throw is placed over the arm of a sofa in a cute Seattle living room.  The orange throw picks up the colors in the art and pillows. (above)

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇

Seven rooms that all get the basics right: good light, a table with presence, chairs you’d actually want to sit in for two hours.
Which one would you set the table in tonight? 👇

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
