Rugs

With throws, you can make a sofa, armchair or bed feel warmer and more inviting in one go. They add comfort on chilly days and help bring colour, texture and calm into your interior. In this collection, you’ll find throws that you can easily combine with other items from our textiles and matching cushions.

Throws for the sofa, chair or bed

A throw is a practical addition that also makes a big difference to the look of your space. Drape a throw loosely over the armrest of your sofa, fold it neatly into a basket or use it as an extra layer on your bed. This makes a seating area look more polished and gives a room more depth without major changes.

Whether you prefer a calm base or are looking for a more striking accent, there’s always a style that suits your interior style. Think plain throws in light shades, warm earthy tones or a version with a subtle pattern.

How do you choose the right throw?

Think about how you’ll use it

If you mainly use the throw during an evening on the sofa, choose a soft, supple material that feels pleasant. If you’re mainly looking for decoration, you can also focus on colour, weave and fringes. For everyday use, it’s nice to have a throw that’s easy to grab, fold and wash.

Pay attention to size and drape

A large throw looks generous on a corner sofa or as a cover at the foot of your bed. A smaller size is ideal for an armchair, children’s room or basket next to the sofa. Make sure the throw drapes nicely and isn’t too stiff if you want to style it decoratively.

Choose a colour that pairs well

Neutral shades such as beige, sand, grey or off-white create a light and calm base. If you want a little more contrast, choose rust, olive green, blue or a check or stripe. If your home already has lots of colour, a plain throw often works best. If you want more layering, combine different textures with, for example, plaids or cushions in calm colours.

Practical styling tips for throws

• Drape a throw halfway over the sofa instead of opening it out fully. It looks lighter and tidier.
• Combine a coarser weave with smooth fabrics for more balance.
• Use one colour from your cushions or rug to tie everything together better.
• Place a throw at the foot of your bed for extra warmth and a polished finish.
• Work in layers by combining a sofa throw with a rug in the seating area.

Frequently asked questions about throws

What is the difference between a throw and a plaid?

A throw is often used as a general name for a decorative, warm blanket for the sofa or bed. A plaid usually refers more specifically to a wrap for the sofa. In use, they are very similar.

What size throw is handy for the sofa?

For an average sofa, a medium to large throw is often the most practical. It should be big enough to sit comfortably under, but not so large that it becomes heavy or awkward in everyday use.

How do I combine a throw with cushions?

Choose one main colour and repeat it in one or two cushions. Then work with differences in texture, such as a smooth cushion next to a coarsely woven throw. This keeps the overall look calm, but not flat.

Can I also use a throw on the bed?

Yes, a throw is ideal for the foot of your bed. It adds extra warmth and makes the bed look instantly more polished. Preferably choose a design that drapes softly.

What should I look for when it comes to care?

Always check the care label. Many throws stay looking their best for longer if you shake them out regularly, air them and wash them according to the instructions. If you use the throw heavily on the sofa, a low-maintenance material is often the best choice.
