Cotton and lightweight linen throws are perfect for summer, as they allow airflow while still offering comfort.
There are a few things to think about when choosing throws and blankets:
1) Material: Select a material that fits your tastes in terms of softness, warmth, and feel. Cotton and wool are great for everyday comfort, while cashmere and other high-end fabrics add a touch of class.
2) Size: Think about how big your couch or bed is. A throw that is too big for the couch is the best thing to use as furniture covering. A bigger blanket will cover a Queen or King-sized bed completely.
3) Looks: Throws and blankets come in many colors and patterns, so choose one that goes with the rest of your furniture. If you want a simple look, choose colors that come together. Throws and blankets with patterns can make a room look more interesting.
4) Use: Think about what you're going to do with the blanket. Is it mostly for warmth, or are you using it to make the room look better? You might choose a lighter blanket if it's just for looks, but bigger blankets are great for staying warm on cold nights.
Check the care label! Most cotton, fleece, and synthetic throws are machine washable, while wool and cashmere may require dry cleaning or handwashing.
