Couch, Covered: Throw Blankets For Living Rooms That Invite Lingering
Warmth Without The Bulk: A good throw blanket earns its place on the arm of the sofa, ready for cool evenings, quiet reading, and long talks that stretch past bedtime. It should warm one or two people without feeling heavy, and it should look at home when folded over a chair. The right throw adds color and texture to a room, turning a plain sofa into a place people want to settle into. Start with size and weight before color. A throw near 50 by 60 inches covers one person well, while a larger throw suits couples sharing a sofa. Light fleece works for mild rooms, while wool or thick knit suits drafty spaces. Check the care label too, since a blanket that is simple to wash will get used far more often than one that needs special care.
