Throws and Throw Blankets
A throw is the hardest-working piece of soft furnishing in the home. It keeps you warm on the sofa, dresses a bed in seconds and changes the mood of a room without any effort at all. The Mikolia throws collection brings together faux fur throws, plush throw blankets and fringed woven throws, each chosen to look good folded, draped or simply left where you last used it.
Every throw in the Mikolia edit comes in a size that works on real furniture, from 130 x 180cm for an armchair up to 200 x 230cm for an extra large sofa throw or a double bed. Colours stay close to the warm neutrals that run through the rest of our soft furnishings: cream, camel, mocha, copper and black, with a couple of bold prints for character.
Throws for sofas and couches
Throws for sofas are where most people start, and for good reason. A sofa throw protects your upholstery, softens a plain fabric and gives you something to pull over your knees on a cold evening. For a standard two or three-seater, a 180 x 200cm throw drapes neatly over one arm or across the back without swamping the seat. The Large Chocolate Brown Plush Throw Blanket and Large Copper Brown Plush Throw Blanket are both this size, and both are soft on each side, so they look just as good however they fall.
If you have a corner sofa or simply want more coverage, look for large throws for sofas. The 180 x 230cm fringed throws and the 200 x 230cm faux fur throws give you an oversized sofa throw with a luxury feel, generous enough to cover the seat and fall over the front. For armchairs, loveseats and smaller couch throws, the 130 x 180cm and 150 x 200cm sizes are easier to fold and keep tidy.
Throws for beds
A bed throw adds warmth and a layered, hotel-style finish to any bedroom. Fold it across the lower third of the bed, or lay it flat over the duvet for a relaxed look. As a guide, choose a throw around 40cm wider than your mattress so it hangs over both sides. That makes 180 x 200cm to 180 x 230cm a good choice for a double bed, and 200 x 230cm the right large bed throw for a king-size bed. Throws for beds in cream or camel sit comfortably with white bedding, while deeper mocha and copper tones add warmth to a neutral bedroom.
Faux fur throws and blankets
Nothing says comfort quite like a faux fur throw. Our faux fur blankets have a dense, deep pile that catches the light and feels wonderfully soft, and they are among the softest faux fur throws in the Mikolia edit. They are a premium faux fur throw choice for UK homes that want the look and warmth of fur in an easy, everyday piece.
The Large Camel Faux Fur Throw Blanket measures 200 x 230cm and has a long pile gathered into soft ribbed channels, giving it a sculpted texture that looks beautiful across a bed or a full-size sofa. It is our go-to neutral luxury throw for calm, tonal rooms. The Zebra Print Faux Fur Throw Blanket in cream and black takes the opposite approach: a bold, all-over zebra print on a plush pile, available in 150 x 200cm, 180 x 200cm and 200 x 230cm. It suits maximalist and transitional interiors, and looks striking against a plain cream or charcoal sofa.
Plush throw blankets
For a softer, lighter layer, our plush throw blankets have a velvety short pile with wide tonal bands and fine shimmer stripes that catch the light as they move. They are made from 100% polyester, soft on both sides with stitched edges, and machine washable at 40 degrees, which makes them an easy, practical sofa throw for everyday use. Choose the chocolate brown with champagne shimmer for a rich, neutral scheme, or the copper brown with copper shimmer to warm up rooms with rust, terracotta and natural wood.
Fringed woven throws
Our fringed throw blankets bring pattern and a relaxed, textural finish. Each design is available in three sizes, 130 x 180cm, 180 x 180cm and 180 x 230cm, so you can match one throw across an armchair, a sofa and a bed.
- Floral Tree Fringed Throw Blanket: camel floral branches on a cream woven ground with a tonal border and knotted fringe, perfect for Scandi, cottage and warm neutral rooms.
- Abstract Texture Fringed Throw Blanket: a painterly, speckled camel and cream pattern that reads like textured stone, ideal for modern neutral and Japandi interiors.
- Forest Silhouette Fringed Throw Blanket: a streaked cream weave with a bold black treeline along the border, a graphic choice for Scandi, cabin and monochrome schemes.
Styling your throw
The easiest way to style a throw is to build around it with cushions. Pick up one colour from the throw and repeat it in two or three cushion covers in different textures. The camel faux fur throw pairs beautifully with the Tiger Stripe Faux Fur Cushion Cover for a layered, tonal look, while the Forest Silhouette throw works well with the Diamond Weave Tassel Cushion Cover in cream and black. The Floral Tree throw sits naturally beside cream and gold covers such as the Greek Key Cushion Cover. Finish with a sculptural knot pillow from our decorative pillows collection.
Caring for your throw
Shake your throw out regularly to keep the pile or weave looking full. Our plush throw blankets can be machine washed at 40 degrees; do not bleach or tumble dry, and dry them naturally away from direct heat. Faux fur throws are best spot cleaned, or gently hand washed in cool water where the care label allows, then dried flat and brushed by hand to restore the pile. Fringed woven throws should be spot cleaned or dry cleaned, and the fringe straightened while damp. Always check the care instructions on each product page before washing.
A throw for every season
Throws earn their place all year round. In autumn and winter, reach for faux fur and plush throw blankets in camel, chocolate and copper for extra warmth. In spring and summer, a lighter fringed woven throw in cream keeps a sofa or bed looking finished without feeling heavy. Because throws fold away easily, it is simple to keep a warm one and a light one and swap them as the weather changes.
Throws as gifts
A throw blanket is one of the most useful gifts you can give. It suits housewarmings, birthdays, weddings and anyone setting up a new home, and it makes a welcome present over the festive season too. A faux fur throw feels especially generous, while a plush throw blanket is a lovely, affordable gift at under £20. Pair a throw with a matching cushion cover for a thoughtful set.
