A cozy winter throw can add some warmth to your bed on a cold winter night.

With the cold winter months slowly but surely creeping up on us, it's time to make our homes winter friendly!

During the snowy season, there's nothing like being snuggled up in a throw blanket, sipping hot drinks. With all these extra throws and blankets in your room, it does not mean your room's aesthetic appeal has to suffer — there are ways to make your throws look good!

As much as we wish we could be cuddled up in our homes all winter away from the cold, sadly it does not happen we have to leave the nest every so often! When we are not in our “nests” or if company is on their way, you need to know how to make your throws look good on your bed — no need to hide them away in a closet or leave them jumbled up in a corner.

The most classic way to place a throw on your bed or couch is in the top left picture. Fold your throw in half and set it on the end of your bed, making sure it covers a good proportion of the bed. This is a “can't go wrong” way to place your throw every time!

If you're not a fan of the throw coving most of the surface area of your bed or couch, then the next method could be the perfect one for you! As seen in the top right picture, the throw still mimics the classic way to place a throw but is just simply folded in half one more time, so it takes up less surface area.

Taking your throw to the next level! A very popular way to place your throw is seen in the bottom left picture. Simply follow both steps from above and add one more fold down the middle. Once you have folded your throw, place it close to the center of your bed and allow it to hang down either the right or left side of your bed.

If you want a little more character in how your throw is placed, it takes no effort or folding at all! The look you see in the bottom right corner is literally the “throw” look. You can your throw by the corner and throw it on an angle from the corner of your bed. This look gives your room a very casual yet cosy feel.

All of these ways to place your throw make them easily accessible and will look good in any setting or style of a room. Enjoy these cold days with your cozy throws!
