Styling Your Sofa with Blankets: A Cozy Guide by SofaLuz Studio

A stylish blanket isn't just a seasonal accessory — it's a year-round statement piece for your sofa. Whether you're aiming for cozy, classy, or casually chic, the right styling technique can transform your living space instantly. In this guide, we break down simple and aesthetic ways to style your blanket on your sofa, with practical visuals and tips from the SofaLuz Studio design team.

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.
