A decorative object to cover a bed

You can also use a blanket to decorate your room. This way, your bed will match the colors of your room, or the outfit you wear for an Instagram photo.

You can also create different atmospheres depending on the chosen plaid. Here are different types of decoration to do with plaids:

• Scandinavian style decoration: for a Nordic atmosphere, these blankets, thanks to their appearance, will bring a touch reminiscent of the countries of Northern Europe.

• Romantic decoration: to bring romance to your room before a date for example, you can add a simple plaid on your bed. For colors, opt for shades of red, pink or a white plaid with hearts as patterns.
• Animal decor: match your faux fur throws to your various fur jackets or with animal-patterned wallpaper. Even if fur or savannah are no longer trendy today, nothing prevents you from opting for a vintage decor. You can complete the decor with a plaid sweater with an animal pattern.
• Vintage decoration: use plaid blankets or blankets with patterns in the style of 70s wallpaper. Opt for fairly thick blankets.

How do I place my blanket on my bed?
