How to choose the perfect throw: materials, sizes, and ideas to make your home cozier
When temperatures start to drop, few things can make a home feel as cozy as a soft throw. Whether on the sofa during a relaxing evening, at the foot of the bed, or draped over an armchair, it is a simple accessory that combines comfort and style.
Today, throws are available in countless materials, sizes, colors, and patterns. But how do you choose the right throw? The answer depends primarily on how you intend to use it, the level of warmth you desire, and, naturally, the style of your home.
Flannel and sherpa throws: softness and warmth
For those looking for a particularly soft and enveloping blanket, one of the most attractive solutions is the combination of flannel and sherpa.
The flannel provides a soft, velvety surface, while the sherpa side creates that pleasant feeling of warmth that is particularly appreciated during autumn and winter.
In the Nada Home collection, for example, you can find the Flannel Throw with Sherpa in solid colors and patterns, available in three sizes: 115x155 cm, 155x200 cm, and 200x220 cm, with a weight of 270 g/m². It is offered in numerous solid colors as well as floral, tartan, and decorative patterns.
It is a versatile solution because it allows you to choose a smaller size for the sofa and armchair or a larger dimension to also use on the bed.
The throw as a decorative element
A throw doesn't necessarily have to stay hidden in the closet when not in use. On the contrary, it can become a true decorative accessory.
A beige, cream, or taupe throw easily fits into neutral-colored rooms; bolder shades can create an interesting contrast. Floral patterns are perfect for giving the room a more romantic touch, while plaids and tartans immediately evoke a warm, wintry atmosphere.
On the sofa, it can be left lightly folded over the armrest or arranged loosely over the backrest. In the bedroom, it can be placed at the foot of the bed to add color and texture.
For a particularly warm and tactile effect, you can also choose the Double Sherpa-lined throw blanket with cable-knit design, designed for those who prefer a richer, more enveloping look.
Microfiber throws: everyday practicality
If your goal is to have a practical blanket for daily use, microfiber represents an interesting alternative.
The Nada Home collection features several throws with a curly finish in different sizes. For the sofa or armchair, you can start with the 130x160 cm microfiber throw with curly finish size.
Those wanting more surface area can opt for the 160x210 cm Irge throw with curly finish or the larger 210x240 cm Irge throw with curly finish. Having multiple sizes allows you to choose the throw not only based on who will use it, but also according to the sofa, armchair, or bed.
A great classic: the Merino wool throw
For those who prefer natural fibers, wool remains one of the most traditional materials for facing the cold months.
Among the collection's offerings is the 130x180 cm 100% Merino virgin wool Lanerossi Murano throw. It is a completely different choice compared to the microfiber or sherpa models and is aimed at those looking for a natural fiber throw to also use as a decorative element.
What throw size should you choose?
There is no single perfect size for every situation. A size of around 130x160 cm is practical for relaxing on the sofa or in an armchair and can be easily folded when not in use.
Intermediate sizes, such as 155x200 or 160x210 cm, offer greater coverage and are suitable when you want a more generous blanket. Formats such as 200x220 or 210x240 cm, on the other hand, can also be used on the bed or shared more comfortably. The Nada Home collection currently includes sizes ranging from the most compact to 210x240 cm.
A throw for fans, too
A throw can also reflect a passion. For "Azzurri" fans, the collection includes the Official SSC Napoli fleece throw with logo and crest: a solution designed to combine the practicality of a blanket with a passion for your favorite team.
How to match a throw to your living room
To achieve a harmonious result, it is useful to start with the colors already present in the room. With a gray or beige sofa, it is easy to play with both neutral tones and bolder colors. On a colorful sofa, however, a cream, taupe, or gray throw can help balance the environment.
Cushions can also help: you don't need to choose the exact same color. It is often more interesting to simply echo one of the tones present in the throw or use different materials and textures.
The goal is to create an environment that feels warm and lived-in, without appearing overly staged.
The right throw for your moments of relaxation
From a small throw to keep on the sofa at all times to larger versions for the bed, and ranging from sherpa and microfiber to Merino wool, every solution offers different features.
The choice depends primarily on your habits: some look for maximum softness, others prefer a practical blanket for everyday use, and some consider the throw a true decorative element.
In the Nada Home Throw collection, you can compare colors, patterns, materials, and sizes to choose the solution best suited to your home.
