Katie T’s Farmhouse Home Fun Fact #16
Fun fact time! This is a new section I’m including on my blog posts so my readers can get to know me on a personal level!
So, for my 16th fun fact, I want to share that I want to travel more.
My husband isn’t big on flying but is willing to go as long as it’s not a long plane ride (more than a few hours).
So, if any of you have a must-try destination, preferably closer to the New England area, I’d love to hear it!
Elegant Draping Techniques: Factors to Consider
When considering these 5 chunky knit throw blanket styles and draping techniques, there are a few factors to keep in mind.Â
The size and weight of the blanket should influence how it is draped, as larger and heavier blankets may require more strategic positioning to achieve the desired look.
The idea is to have it complement the bed, not take over. So, if you have a large chunky knit blanket in comparison to your bed, this will determine what types of styling will look better. The same can be said if the blanket is on the smaller side. I will discuss this further in the examples below.
Additionally, consider the texture and color of the blanket when draping it over your bed, as these elements can play a significant role in the overall aesthetic of your farmhouse master bedroom.
If you want more details on this topic, I discuss the 7 fundamentals of design in the article below. One of the key components is how the fundamentals of color can influence the overall appeal of decor.
Another key factor to keep in mind is if you have throw pillows on the bed. The more throw pillows you have, the less space you have to fill with the throw blanket.
Finally, note that these examples are on one corner of the bed.
The corner you choose should be determined by external factors such as the shape of the room, or where the bed is in reference to the door.
In my case, the door is off-centered from the bed to the left (where most of these photos have been taken). I wanted the throw blanket to be a focal point, so I showcased these examples on the left side of the bed.
The idea is, that when someone first enters the room, the blanket will capture their eye first and guide their vision to the rest of the room.
By thoughtfully considering these factors, you can create a beautifully draped blanket that adds style and comfort to your space.
The Chunky Knitted Ball of Blanket
Smoothly transitioning, let’s now explore the creative possibilities of what I like to call the chunky knitted ball of blanket styling technique.
When achieving a unique and cozy look for your farmhouse master bed, consider gathering your chunky knit throw blanket into a large, textured ball and placing it strategically at the foot of your bed.
This ball-like arrangement adds a touch of whimsy and charm to your bedroom decor, creating a focal point that draws the eye in.
This styling technique is geared more towards mid and smaller-sized blankets. I would consider my blanket to be mid-sized. It could be larger, but it could also be smaller.
If you have a larger knitted blanket, this styling option might not be the best for you. This is because the chunky knitted ball of a blanket might simply be too large and look too much for the space.
The Decorative Fold
Now, let’s dive into another stylish draping technique with “The Decorative Fold.”
For a sophisticated and elegant touch to your farmhouse master bed, consider elegantly folding your chunky knit throw blanket, but keep in mind that it’s a loose fold.
This technique adds a touch of refinement to your bedroom decor, creating a sense of luxury and comfort.
Once you place it on the bed, feel free to rearrange part of the blanket to give it the “controlled messy” look.
Again, I’d recommend this style for mid to smaller-sized blankets.
Depending on how large your blanket is in comparison to your bed, you might be able to get away with this styling technique with a larger chunky knit blanket.
The “Throw” Blanket
To achieve a more relaxed and effortless look, try the “Throw” Blanket technique.
This method is not to be overthinked.
Literally, take your blanket and throw it on the bed.
Viola, you now have a cozy semi-styled throw blanket with a hint of messy charm.
Similar to the second example, this style is for mid to smaller blankets however, a large blanket may work.
The Corner Drape
For a more elevated look, consider trying “The Corner Drape” technique, the 4th look out of the 5 chunky knit throw blanket styles.
This styling method involves elegantly draping your chunky knit throw blanket over one corner of the farmhouse master bed, adding a touch of modern sophistication to your bedroom decor.
Because this styling method takes up more space than the first three, I’d recommend it for mid to larger-sized blankets.
Remember to add height when you drape the throw blanket over one of the corners. This will add depth and visual interest to your bed, so it doesn’t look flat.
The Floor Duster Style
If you’re looking to create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere in your rustic farmhouse master bedroom, then “The Floor Duster Style” may be the perfect choice for you.
This unique styling method involves simply draping your chunky knit throw blanket over the foot of the bed, allowing it to flow gracefully onto the floor.
This laid-back approach can add a touch of casual elegance to your bedroom decor, giving it a warm and inviting feel.
Experiment with different placements and folds to find the perfect balance of comfort and style. Also, don’t be afraid of layering the blanket and not having it completely symmetrical.
The article I wrote on the 7 fundamentals of design discusses symmetry and how to avoid a uniform look. It’s a must-read for those looking to sharpen their decor skillset.
The floor duster style is one for the large throw blankets. Even my mid-sized blanket is slightly too small to pull this style off, but I wanted to give you all the top examples!
