How to decorate with a thick knitted blanket

And there is nothing cozier than getting home, putting on the most comfortable clothes we have on hand and wrapping up with a giant blanket to prevent the cold from catching us.

Thick knitted blankets are trending and there is no "instagrammable" interior that doesn't have one. 

They are so comfortable and soft that you will spend marathon hours watching TV series on the sofa, trapped by these thick and fluffy blankets.

So in this post we are going to dedicate ourselves to them so you can learn how to use them and combine them correctly. Will you stay and watch?

Thick knitted blanket on the bed

Thick knitted blankets are perfect in a bedroom decor.

Apart from giving the room a very special touch, they will add texture and personality, as well as being essential to have on hand for those rainy or cold days when a midnight shiver runs through you, as a textile like this can provide a lot of warmth.

Decoratively you can use it as a bed plaid (folded, revealing part of the duvet cover on each side) or as a bedspread, either completely covering the entire bed or partially covering the foot of the bed.

You can also decorate your bed in a casual version by "letting it fall", without stretching it, avoiding covering the entire bed.

Knitted blanket in the living room

Simply drape a blanket over one corner of the sofa and fill it with comfort and warmth next to the fireplace. 

You will add a touch of winter glamour to the living room and at the same time your knitted blanket will become the real star of the room. 

Another option is to place the knitted blanket on the side of an armchair or chaise longue, inside a basket or on a chair and let it fall until it drags on the floor. This way you will create a more homey atmosphere.

Neutral shades and bright colors

Neutral shades help you create a more uniform space, so here are good examples of how to choose a good blanket for a room, which is also very simple.

Pearl gray, graphite or ecru tones help to achieve the modern look that some people are looking for, while white is usually a favorite because it combines with different styles.

However, for those who dare with the contrast we can also find thick colored blankets, both in dark, bright or pastel tones.

In this sense, mustards or pale pink can bring warmth to our spaces and highlight them.

Different spaces

Chunky knitted blankets are also perfect for bringing a little glamour to the dressing room or powder room area and adding instant charm to any space. 

You can opt for a knitted blanket in pastel tones and thus achieve a much more delicate look in those forgotten corners of the house, giving them a more intimate aspect that invites you to read a book and a good coffee.

As in the living room, drop your chunky knit blanket over the side of a basket, bench or chair and see how well they fit in, adding a "natural" touch to any room.

Bicolor blankets

Precisely because they are less common, two-tone knitted blankets are very eye-catching and add a different touch to the environment.

The colors are usually in more or less thick stripes and do not usually mix more than two colors, being a perfect option for those looking for something more original.

Combine!

If you like blankets in general, you can play with their different textures. 

Thick knitted blankets are easy to combine and fit perfectly with other blankets of thinner thicknesses and fabrics such as linen or cotton.

You can also experiment with some cushion covers (chunky knit fabric looks especially good on oval-shaped, rag-like cushions).

Cheer up and give free rein to your imagination!
