Layering blankets in the winter is a great way of achieving maximum warmth. This is best done by using a combination of both a lightweight thermal weave under a more conventional weave blanket. Layering blankets for decoration is also a great idea. By using various colors and textures, you can add a new look to your bedroom, or match accent colors already existing in your rooms palette. Throws are also great to toss across chairs, sofas, or anywhere you want an added splash of color. How you decorate with blankets and throws is completely up to you.

Since there are such a wide variety of blankets available, caring for them varies as well. For laundering blankets, refer to the manufacturer's instructions before bringing them to the dry cleaner or popping them in the washing machine.
