Guest Picks: The Perfect Throw
I envision this throw in a dark gray bedroom — it would pop! It would also be lovely in a teenager's room. Plus, it's the classic cuddling material, either for a night at the beach or an air-conditioned room in the city.
Timeless suzani only gets better with age, and it's the classic choice for throwing on your sofa to give it a new lease on life (or hide that ice cream stain).
There's nothing more versatile than a striped throw. Blend this one with assorted bedding or with a crisp white set, and see how the throw transforms it.
Everyone needs a cable knit throw, and the mustard color in this one gives it a little more personality than your run-of-the-mill throw.
It doesn't get more classic (or cozy) than a herringbone throw. Mine are constantly moved around the house because they're so functional.
This throw exudes summer with its light fabric and the cool stripes. It will make you feel like you own a summer home at the beach.
This throw looks like something that could accompany me the whole season. Soft and light but with a chevron punch, it would do a great job covering a tired kid just back from the swimming pool or draping the arm of a sofa nonchalantly.
I love how light this throw is, and the classic stripe gives an instant French vibe.
Forget functionality, this faux fur throw is amazing!
I think this is the first time I've seen a peacock-blue throw, and it's brilliant. Put it around your shoulders when you get chilly, and it will look like a stylish stole. Or throw it on the floor near your bed as a makeshift sheepskin rug.
Who doesn't want to cuddle in Chanel-like tweed? This throw is just so cute and can be a great starting point for a color scheme for a room. It can be adorable in a girl's room or provide a pop of color in a muted, feminine bedroom or dressing room.
Stock your guest room's closet with a few of these, and you'll have a couple of very happy visitors. You can also keep these throws for yourself. They will look great in a shabby chic, traditional or rustic setting and will last for years.
Can you believe these throws are handwoven? I would drape one of them on my headboard to showcase the gorgeous pattern.
We all need a creamy, knit throw in our lives and bedrooms.
Don't believe anyone who says monograms are going out of style. This is preppy heaven.
It doesn't get much more contemporary-cool than Marimekko. The kings of Scandinavian textile design definitely nailed it with this throw that looks cozy but oh-so cutting edge.
Geometrics are fun and unexpected in a throw, especially when paired with orange!
If you don't own a Kantha throw yet, I think this blue one is a great choice. The patterns aren't too cluttered and look wonderful together. Plus, blue is a surprising and beautiful choice for color.
The Otomi textile is so gorgeous and intricate that it would elevate any room. Just use it with care, and don't overdo it.
This is just more proof that fashion and decor go together: The ombre trend is seeping into home. It's cool because the ombre almost looks unintentional.Next: Global Textile Icons: Batik
I love the stripes on this throw. They're graphic but not jarring, and the color is masculine and cool enough for it to work in different seasons and decorating schemes.
