It’s time to break out the throw blankets folks! The air is getting cold and crisp, so it’s time to snuggle in with warm beverages, good books and a great blanket. This year I’ve seen throw blankets really make big decorating pops that are worth considering for your own home.
The porch areas. Don’t give up sitting outside because it’s cold out there. Set out throw blankets over chairs to create a warm welcoming touch to an otherwise cold space. If you have company coming over, set out enough blankets for everyone (even if some won’t use them). Place blankets in a trunk, large wooded box, or drapped over the backs and arms of chairs. Take back inside after using.
The living room. Throws don’t have to match the room. Bold colors are in this season, so look for reds, purples and dark teals. Place on arm chairs, over sofa backs/arms, or sitting chairs. If you have more than one, place others in a storage container nearby. Wicker, woven woods, and wood boxes add great warmth, texture and organic touches.
The bedrooms. Having a throw nearby in a room which already has blankets may seem redundant, however if you have a chair or window seat, it can be nice to have a spare blanket to cuddle up with while gazing about or reading. Lain on top of the chair or over the footend of the bed are both tidy options for spare blankets in a bedroom.
If you need two more warm ideas, think of the money you’ll save on your energy bill by waiting just a little longer to turn on the heat, and researches have shown people get better sleep when it is cooler in the room.
