1. The Classic Fold Over the Backrest

A neatly folded blanket draped over the backrest adds a balanced and tidy look. Perfect for minimalist or Scandinavian interiors, it highlights both structure and softness.

 

Pro Tip: Choose a contrasting color to your sofa for a bold statement.

Why It Works: This method adds symmetry and draws attention to the blanket's texture. It’s easy to maintain and gives your sofa a fresh look instantly.


2. The Full Blanket Wrap

Ideal for colder seasons or ultra-comfy vibes, wrap your entire sofa seat with a thick, soft blanket. This not only adds texture but also protects your upholstery.

 

Pro Tip: Use this technique for family rooms or movie night setups.

Expert Note: According to design stylist Alina Crespo, full wraps create an enveloping effect that invites people to sit down and relax.


3. Layered Texture Styling

Use more than one blanket — fold one across the seat and drape another diagonally. It creates visual interest and feels extra inviting.

Pro Tip: Mix materials like chunky knits with faux fur or linen for depth.

Team Insight: SofaLuz’s textile team often recommends this approach to customers looking to add dimension to neutral-toned living spaces.
