By Pamela Olson


If you are looking for a great way to keep warm or to add a splash of color to your home you may want to consider a throw. There are many different materials that these blankets can be made out of. Regardless of whether you want a faux fur throw for your home or one made from other materials, here are tips for choosing the right one for your needs.

While many people think that living rooms or dens are the only places that these items can be used, they can also be a fun way to add some visual interest in a bedroom as well. They can also be quite handy if you have a bit of a chill and want an extra layer on you.

One thing to consider is whether you are purchasing the throw to keep warm or as a decorative accent. That may affect which kind of blanket you are looking for. If it is going to be more decorative, choosing a lighter material may be possible. Individuals who want something warmer may want to look at heavier options such as those made out of faux fur.

Throws are a wonderful way to add visual interest to a room. You may want to consider using them to add a pop of a trendy color since it can be replaced easily and inexpensively when you are tired of the color. You may want to think about the color of furnishings and other accents as well as any other fabric patterns in the room so that you can determine whether your choice will work with your current decor.

There are many different materials that are fantastic for keeping you warm. If you love the idea of a heavy throw you may want to look for a knitted blanket. Some synthetic fibers can be a fantastic choice as well since they may be able to add warmth without weighing you down overly much. Wool can be very warm but if you have an allergy or are sensitive to it you may find that a throw quickly becomes itchy and uncomfortable to have on you for any length of time.

Sizes can range from very small to very large. If you have the chance, unfold the blanket and hold it up to make sure it is large enough. Do you want to be able to put it across your lap or do you want to be able to completely cover up with it? This is something to think about when picking a particular blanket for your home.

There are many places that offer these items. Many department stores and specialty shops will have these items. Websites are also a great place to find different options as well. You may be able to find some unique options that would not be available near you.

Every throw comes with a set of care instructions and you should make sure that you follow yours when taking care of your blanket. That will make sure it looks good for a long time.
