How To Choose The Right Faux Fur Throw Or Other Blanket For Your Needs

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.

One reason that these items are as popular as they are is their versatility. There are many areas of the home where throws can be used. They can be used either as a practical way to keep warm in cooler weather or as a decorative accent to bring new colors or patterns into a room. You may want to think about where and how you will be using your throw in your home.

You may want to think about how you will be using the throw when you are deciding which one will suit your best. If it is warmth that is a primary factor, heavier options are a great idea. Faux fur can be very warm sometimes as well as being very heavy. If you want warmth but not much weight, you may want to look for one that is made out of knit fabric as some yarns can be very warm.

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.

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.

Decorative options can be easier to choose since there are not as many considerations to think about. For example, you won't have to worry about whether it is big enough to cover you up as much as you want and warmth won't be as much of an issue either. If you do want to use it as a cover, however, you will need to make sure it covers the areas of your body that you prefer when you are trying to bundle up.

When you have an idea of what you are looking for you can start shopping. Try looking locally in department stores and specialty home stores. This will allow you to feel the blanket and see if the size is good for your needs. Then, you can always check out websites as well to see if they have any options that might suit your needs better.

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.
