Why Choose a Bedspread or Throw?

Let’s be honest: a plain bed just feels… unfinished.

A throw or bedspread doesn’t just add colour or warmth — it changes the entire feel of your bedroom. From boutique hotel vibes to soft and snuggly sanctuary, they offer instant impact.

Top reasons to use a throw or bedspread:

• Layer up your bed or sofa for warmth and depth
• Add colour, texture, and contrast
• Hide old or mismatched bedding underneath
• Make guest beds look polished and inviting
• Perfect for home staging and Instagram-ready rooms
• 🌡
  Switch between seasons without changing your duvet

For beds:

• Add a complementary cushion or two on top
• Mix textures: e.g., waffle throw + velvet cushions

For sofas:

• Drape casually over the arm
• Fold neatly and place under a side cushion
• Mix colours with your rug or curtains

For home staging or Airbnbs:

• Use a light neutral bedspread to keep the look clean and welcoming
• Add one pop-colour throw across the centre to stand out in photos
• Bonus: Keeps guest bedding fresh!
