Looking to redecorate a living room or bedroom without buying new furniture? Start with a throw. Drape it over the sofa, fold it across an armchair, or lay it at the foot of the bed, and you've already added colour and warmth to the room. It's one of the fastest ways to change how a space feels. The throw collection at Homebox covers everything from a Tuesday-night sofa blanket to a proper style statement.
A throw earns its keep. It softens hard-edged furniture, breaks up a neutral room, and gives you something to reach for on the sofa without committing to a full blanket. While blankets are for beds, throws are for everywhere else and ready whenever you need an extra layer.
The Homebox collection includes cotton, knitted, fleece, flannel, plush, and faux fur in a variety of colours, textures, and patterns. Cotton and knitted designs are perfect for everyday. Plush and faux fur provide extra warmth when the air conditioning is on full, and you want something heavier. Whatever your interior, there's a texture that fits it.
Choosing the right throw is easy once you know where it will go. Armchairs, benches, and reading corners would look best with a smaller throw. Sofas and the foot of the bed call for something bigger. Check your furniture's dimensions before you order; it's the one thing that actually matters here.
Throws are also one of the easiest accessories to style. Match the colour to your cushions or rug for a coordinated finish, or add a contrasting texture if you want it to stand out.
Complete the look with coordinating cushions, cushion covers, rugs, and other home décor from Homebox. Browse the full throw collection today and add some comfort, colour, and personality to the room.
Depends on the sofa. 120x160 or 127x152 cm for armchairs and smaller seats. 130x170 cm covers most two- and three-seaters. Got something bigger or deeper? Go for 130x180 cm. Measure first.
A blanket is generally larger, meant for sleeping, and provides full coverage at night. Whereas a throw adds warmth and style to seating areas. It is ideal for relaxing on the sofa or for adding a decorative layer to a chair or bed.
If an everyday use throw is what you’re looking for, then cotton throws are the most sensible choice; they're lightweight, breathable, and easy to care for. Woven, waffle, and knitted cotton throws remain comfortable year-round. If you want extra warmth, fleece, flannel, plush, and faux fur suit cooler weather or heavily air-conditioned rooms better.
The bits you sit on most, yes, and it washes far easier than upholstery ever will. Want full coverage? Get a proper sofa cover instead.
There are several ways. Fold it over an arm. Drape it over the back of a chair. Let it hang off the end of the bed. Throw a cushion or two into the mix, and you're done.
Well, it depends. Plain if you want it to work with everything and outlast a few redecorates. Patterned if you want it doing some of the visual work in the room, ideally pulling a colour from something already there, a rug, curtains, whatever.
Check the label; it genuinely varies by fabric. Cotton usually goes straight in the machine. Faux fur and plush want a gentler cycle and air drying, or they lose their softness fast.
Yes. Cotton, fleece, and flannel machine-wash without drama. Go darker or patterned if you want marks to hide between washes. Tightly woven fabric holds up better against claws than a loose knit does.
Of course. Throws work just as well on beds, benches, window seats, daybeds, wherever. Small ones for tight spots, bigger ones when you want it to actually cover something.
One's plenty for most rooms. Two if you've got the space and multiple seats to dress. Past that, it stops looking styled and starts looking like laundry day.
Size first; it's what actually goes wrong. Then consider the fabric, since that covers warmth and washing. Colour last, once you know it works with the room.
