Artwood’s blankets and throws are made from high-quality materials, from easy-care synthetic fibers to cooling linen and warming wool and cashmere. Choose colors, patterns, and materials according to your taste and the season.
Blankets and throws provide color, texture, and coziness – and extra warmth, of course. Perfect for those who enjoy curling up with a good book in an armchair or taking a nap on the sofa. If you tend to get chilly, we recommend a wool or cashmere throw; these are lovely natural materials with airy structures and fantastic warming properties. When not in use, drape the throw beautifully over the armrest of the sofa or armchair or perhaps over an ottoman.
Tips when buying throws
When choosing throws for your home, think about color and pattern, but also texture and feel – often, the interplay between different types of materials can add that extra touch to your decor. Sticking to the same color palette but different textures is, for example, a great way to achieve an elegant, harmonious look. You can also use blankets and decorative pillows as eye-catching decor, perhaps in a contrasting color? Artwood’s blankets come in solid colors as well as various patterns like stripes, checks, and paisley. Our solid color throws are also very popular. We also have a wide range of faux fur blankets and pillows.
Change every season
Feel free to change blankets, throws, bedspreads, and other textiles in your home with the seasons. During the summer, you might opt for lightweight throws in materials like cotton or linen, preferably in a light color palette. In the winter, it’s cozy to have more warming blankets made of materials like wool or cashmere, perhaps in a darker color palette or winter white.
Large throw as a bedspread
Using blankets and throws as bedspreads is both stylish and functional. With a blanket at the foot of the bed, the bed looks beautifully made during the day, and you have a warming layer within easy reach on chilly nights.
Many blankets have dimensions like 130×170 cm or 130×180 cm. They work well on the sofa and armchair or as a bedspread at the foot of a narrower bed, up to 120 cm wide.
If you want to use a blanket as a bedspread across the entire bed or at the foot of a wider bed, you should choose a larger blanket. We have large blankets with dimensions like 130×220 cm and 250×240 cm. These are excellent for use as bedspreads. Of course, they can also be used as an extra generous throw on the sofa or on the patio!
Throws & pillows for outdoor
Even your outdoor space becomes cozier with soft blankets and lovely pillows. Just keep in mind that textiles might struggle with Sweden’s unpredictable weather… If there’s a sudden rain shower, it’s best to bring in your blankets and decorative pillows, and they also do best with dry storage indoors overnight.
Care instructions for your blankets & throws
Regularly shake your blankets outdoors. You can also air them out, as materials like wool and cashmere have an amazing ability to clean themselves, especially if aired in a humid environment. In the winter, you can even lay your wool blanket out in clean snow and gently brush it with a soft brush.
Follow the washing instructions on the product. If not specified, we recommend airing and, if necessary, dry cleaning. Wipe away any spills as soon as possible with a damp cloth.
If your blanket has developed pilling, some materials may release loose fibers that can eventually form pills. You can easily remove the pills with a wool comb or a battery-operated lint shaver.
