What is a Plaid Blanket?
Originally, plaid referred to a type of blanket that originated in Northern Europe and is characterised by a checkered pattern, usually large and in contrasting colours.
Nowadays, we call plaid a versatile blanket that we use for decorative purposes such as b or putting them at the foot of beds, as well as to bring warmth to our spaces by allowing us to snuggle and increase our well-being.
It is very popular in interior decoration because of its ability to provide extra comfort and create a cosy atmosphere. As well as being a decorative option, our blankets and plaids are warm and perfect for all months of the year (including the coldest ones) as they are made from materials such as wool, cashmere, mohair or cotton.
In our collection, you will find the plaid blanket you are looking for to give a touch of style to your home and enjoy more of your favourite spaces.
Versatility in the use of blankets and plaids
Both blankets and plaids stand out for their great versatility. Not only do they keep you warm, but they are also an excellent decorative resource.
You can use them in the living room to add a cosy touch to your sofa or in the bedroom to add style and comfort to your bed. They are also ideal for outdoors: during cool summer evenings, a plaid can be the perfect companion for a celebration in the garden or on the terrace.
At home, they are also ideal for protecting your furniture, especially if you have pets or children. And because they are light and handy, they can be easily folded and stored away when you don't need them.
At Blankets Of The World we offer a wide variety of designs inspired by the textiles of different cultures from around the world, from natural, rustic and Nordic styles to more colourful and colourful ethnic designs.

How to dress up a sofa with blankets?
One of the simplest and most effective ways to transform your living room décor is with a blanket or plaid over the sofa.
For an elegant and relaxed look, you can fold a sofa blanket and drape it casually over one of the sofa's arms or drape it over the back of the sofa. If you prefer a cosier style, place the blanket unfolded in its entirety, covering part of the seat and cushions.
Another option is to combine different textures and colours. For example, if your sofa has neutral tones, a blanket or plaid in bright colours can give it life and personality. If you prefer a more sober atmosphere, opt for warm and soft tones that give a sense of calm and serenity.
For a cosy style, you can complement the blanket with cushions that match or harmonise with the tones of the room. Don't forget to integrate a rug to reinforce the warmth of the space, adding a final touch that will make your living room even more comfortable and balanced.
What is the warmest fabric for blankets?
Wool is undoubtedly one of the warmest fabrics for blankets. The wool we use in our plaids and blankets is perfect for the colder seasons as it acts as a natural insulator, keeping you warm without overheating your body. What's more, wool has breathable properties, which means you'll stay comfortable no matter what the temperature.
Another excellent option is cotton, which is lighter than wool and still offers considerable warmth.
Which are the warmest blankets?
Woollen blankets are the warmest, thanks to their natural fibres that trap heat and retain it for longer. However, if you are looking for a lighter, but equally warm option, cotton blankets are ideal for snuggling up in moments of rest, whether on the sofa or in bed.
Thickness and weave also play an important role in a blanket's ability to keep you warm. The denser the blanket, the warmer it will be.
How big should a plaid or blanket be?
The right size of a plaid depends on how you intend to use it. If you are using it as a bed plaid or for the sofa as a decorative element, a smaller size will be perfect. For those looking for a blanket that they can wrap themselves in completely, larger sizes, such as 150x200 cm, are ideal and will also allow you to place it at the foot of the bed or sofa.
