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

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.

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.

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.

Caring for your throw or blanket doesn't need to be difficult but it is important. For example, you should launder it or clean it as quickly as possible so that stains don't set in. You should also inspect woven or knit blankets and repair any holes or pulled threads as quickly as you can so that issues do not get worse. Then you know that your investment will be around as long as possible.
