What is a throw? 

A throw is a small blanket that is primarily decorative. While throws are often referred to as rugs or throw blankets, they’re not as large as a typical bed blanket - which is designed to cover the entire surface of the bed. A throw is usually large enough to style and drape and will add a touch of comfort. Made from a wide variety of materials, a good throw will add colour and texture to your space in one go. It’s easy to find the right throw for sale in our collection!  

What are the different types of throws? 

If you’re looking to buy a throw, you first need to decide which kind of rugs suit your purpose.

A bed throw is a perfect piece to layer at the foot of your bed, adding a sense of luxury and helping to break up the expanse of your quilt cover. Match the colour and style of your bed throw to your accessories, cushions, and pillows.  

A couch throw adds plenty of visual interest to your living room. Drape one stylishly over the back of your armchair or the chaise of your lounge. A good sofa throw will add a new type of fabric to your space to build a stylish look – which is why we recommend a soft faux fur throw. Add the finishing touch to your little one’s room with a Kids throw. Helping to tie in all their accessories, a natural throw over the end of their bed in an accent colour will make their space feel a bit more grown up.  

What is the best throw material? 

Throws are all about adding texture, dimension, and visual interest to your space. For this reason, the best throw material is one that is different from the rest of your accessories. For example, a linen couch with velvet cushions will look best with a chunky knitted throw. If you have a cotton quilt cover with bold accessories, opt instead for a black throw in luxurious silk. As long as you’re creating variation in colour and fabric, any material can be the right choice!  

Is a throw the same as a blanket?

While quite similar, a bed throw in Australia is not the same thing as a blanket. The main purpose of a blanket is to add plenty of warmth to your bed. Made from thick materials, a blanket will come in bed sizes, like Queen or King. Meanwhile, a throw is an accent piece, designed to provide style to your space. Often a lot smaller than a blanket, a throw is made to be artfully draped over the end of a bed or couch to add softness, comfort, and extra texture. Throws can be made of wide, chunky knit, linen, faux fur, or anything that adds visual interest, as their main purpose is not warmth.
