Relax To The Max With Comfortable Throws!

For luxurious comfort and contentment, there’s nothing better than curling up with your favourite throw blanket. Add soft and inviting texture and colour to your room, and enjoy free time the way it is meant to be, courtesy of the Amart throws collection.

What is a throw?

If your lounge or living room looks just a little bare, even when fully furnished, you may need to add a finishing touch, and throws are the answer. Throws are decorative material pieces, smaller than blankets, often with intricate weave and eye-catching stripes, checks or herringbone patterns perfect for displaying in any living area.

Throws are usually about 1m x 1.5m although it is possible to find throws in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. They can be made from premium materials including organic cotton, while acrylic or micro-fleece throws are very affordable, warm and easy to clean.

The purpose of a throw

Throws have several intended uses. A throw across the back of your couch is within easy reach for times when the air is a little colder. It can be draped across feet, legs or shoulders for extra warmth at the perfect snuggle temperature.

A well-positioned throw rug over a nice piece of furniture will make the furniture much easier to keep clean. Throws are a furniture life-saver if you have active kids or curious pets who like to curl up. Machine washable throws are ideal in these scenarios.

Inviting throws will give you warmth and comfort, particularly if they’re made from fleece and soft, natural weave materials. Take relaxation to the next level with a beautiful throw on your favourite chair. After use, place the throw back into position and ‘just like that’, it’s a decorative piece again.

Blanket vs throws

Throws and blankets share some similarities, but there are significant differences. Throws are a ‘casual blanket’ for decorating and naps outside of regular sleep times. Let’s investigate the similarities and differences.

Throws

• Materials - since throws don’t need to fit between bedding, the options for materials are endless. Think snuggly, soft fabrics with optional tassels or a throw with pom poms.
• Size - designed for covering a couch back or arm, and also used to cover your body, but not large enough to cover your bed. Throws are the perfect size for use as an accent piece or an afternoon siesta.
• Function - more than just an addition to your home. Throw benefits include versatile use in almost any room. Accent decor with colours, fabrics and patterns, plus add light warmth and cosiness.

Blankets

• Materials - smooth and uniform texture for use as a bedding layer.
• Size - designed to cover an entire bed, from single to king-size.
• Function - used only on the bed, usually in colours that match the bedroom decor.

The best material for a throw

Australia is a big country with a wide range of climate conditions. Heavy knitted throws, sherpa and faux fur throws are cooler climate favourites for places like Melbourne or Hobart, while chenille, acrylic, cotton or linen throws may be perfect in the sub-tropics like Brisbane or the mid-north coast of NSW.

Styling your space with a throw

Looking for throw ideas and inspiration? Here are seven simple techniques that will transform your home.

1. Neat and tidy. For an organised contrast look, fold the throw and drape it over the back of your couch.
2. Casual chic. An alternative to hanging over the back of the couch, fold and drape the throw over the couch arm.
3. In the basket. No-fuss throw storage. Simply toss your throw in a decorative basket when not in use. A reversible throw will give a nice mix of texture and patterns.
4. Imperfect perfection. Choose a throw for your living/dining space that complements the colours in your table linen or placemats. Then bunch, scrunch, or drape your throw over an armchair for casual contemporary charm.
5. The foot warmer. Keep your throw folded on your daybed as a topper, ready to cover cold toes on chilly days.
6. Hanging around. When not in use, drape your throw over a decorative ladder for a focal point in your room.
7. Bedroom styling. Keep a bed throw or coverlet on your bed for times when you want to relax without climbing under the covers. Choose a colour that ties in with your quilt cover and pillowcases.
