How To Choose A Knit Throw Or Faux Fur Throw For Your Home

By Pamela Olson


Decorating your home can be fun but challenging. Picking items that are both beautiful and functional can make for a comfortable and intimate environment. If you are considering adding a faux fur throw or other throw blanket to different areas in your home, here are some things to consider before you go shopping.

These blankets can look great in a number of different rooms in your home. It is always nice to have one placed in living rooms or family rooms so that you can curl up under it while on a couch or in a chair. They also look wonderful in a bedroom and can be spread over a bed for extra warmth or for a pop of color.

While most people simply pick a throw that they like the look and feel of this approach may end up with you picking one you are not totally happy with. Some throws can be fairly pricey so it is important to make sure that you are very happy with your choice as a way to not waste money.

Some individuals will want to use these items as a way of decorating a room rather than as a way of keeping warm. If you want to add trendy colors to your home in a way that is not overly expensive, this is a great way to do so. You can simply pack them away when a trendy color is no longer in style or when you want to change the look of your room.

While woven throws can be great for decorative purposes they may not be as warm as some other materials. If you want warmth, synthetic mink or faux fur options may be just what you are looking for. Just make sure to feel the underside of the blanket as well to make sure that it feels great on both sides. The last thing you want is to curl up with a blanket that is itchy or uncomfortable against your skin.

If you are looking more for a decorative option, size may not be as much of an issue. It can simply be folded in a number of different shapes and displayed on the back of a couch or on the end of a bed. If, however, you want to be able to keep warm using the blanket, you will want to make sure that it is large enough to cover you up.

In the past these items were not as common but since they are much more popular these days it is easy to find options to choose from. You may want to look online or in local specialty home stores. Even department stores will have versions that you can choose from. Just make sure to check the size and give any blanket a touch when possible to make sure you like the way it feels.

It is important to take care of your throw to keep it looking as good as possible. Keep an eye on the cleaning instructions should you need to wash it. If it is made of woven or knit fabric, check it periodically to make sure that there are no pulls or snags in the yarn. Then it will look beautiful for as long as you want to display it.
