ブランケットの飾り方・スタイリングガイド

There are many ways to display blankets, such as draping them, folding them, or hanging them on a wall. Knowing how to style them for different places, such as sofas, beds, or walls, can completely change the impression of a room with just one blanket.

Blankets are for "using" and "decorating"

Blankets are no longer just for cold days.

When you want to add an accent to your room.
When the area around your sofa feels a little bare.
When you want to decorate a wall but framing seems too much trouble.

In such cases, a single blanket can be surprisingly useful.
Just by how you place it, the atmosphere of a room can change. The beauty of a blanket is that it can be used and displayed at the same time.

Styling around the sofa

Draping over the backrest

This is the simplest and most effective method.
Casually draping it over the backrest of the sofa adds color and rhythm to the space.

No need to fold it perfectly. A more casual drape creates a more natural atmosphere.

Folding and placing on the armrest

This style involves folding the blanket into thirds or quarters and placing it on the armrest of the sofa.
Folding it with the desired pattern facing up will make the design stand out as an accent.

Casually on the seat

After using it, intentionally crumple it and leave it on the sofa.
While it adds a lived-in feel, a stylish blanket can look artistic all on its own.

Styling around the bed

Foot throw

This styling involves spreading the blanket horizontally at the foot of the bed.
This arrangement, often seen in hotels, can be easily adopted at home.

Choosing a blanket with a different color or pattern from your duvet can instantly brighten up your bed area.
An L size (160x200cm) is just the right width for a double bed.

Draping diagonally

This styling involves draping the blanket diagonally from the corner of the bed.
Instead of aligning it perfectly, placing it slightly askew creates a more sophisticated impression.

Folded at the head of the bed

Folding it small and placing it near your pillow is convenient for when it gets a little chilly.
Visually, it also adds more detail to the bed area, enriching the space.

Hanging on the wall

As a tapestry

This method involves hanging a blanket on the wall, like a tapestry.
Since no framing is required, you can easily display it with just pins or hooks.

An M size (130x160cm) has more presence than a typical art poster, yet it won't feel overwhelming.
If the design is reversible, you can flip it over to change the mood.

Blanket hanger / ladder rack

The style of hanging blankets on a ladder-shaped rack has also become popular recently.
It's suitable for those who don't want to drill holes in the wall, and a key advantage is being able to display multiple blankets.

Tips for matching designs with room atmosphere

If you're unsure which design to choose, it's simple to think about it in relation to your room's base colors.

White/Gray Rooms: Most designs will suit well. Organic lines from Abstract will stand out.
Wood grain/Natural Rooms: Nature motifs from Photography or textures from Animal will blend in easily.
Monotone/Modern Rooms: Line art or message designs from Illustration will serve as accents.

Of course, the best choice is always what you intuitively like.
There's no need to be overly constrained by interior design rules.
