Seems like once the calendar flipped past Labor Day, and the Mid-Atlantic got the thousand year rain storm, fall has blown in and in full force. The days have been crisp and the nights have been chilly.
One of the best things about the Mid-Atlantic is the seasons. Just as summer reaches an unbearable point, fall blows in... It's the time of year where you pull on ballet flats instead of flip flops to run up to Starbucks and get a Pumpkin Spice Latte instead of an Iced Mocha. You spend weekends breaking in a new pair of jeans. It's the perfect season for Burberry plaid and gingham checks.
It's the time of year where it's not quite cold enough to turn the heat on so you fight over covers and snuggle up close to stay warm. And it is the perfect time of year to update you bedroom or living room with a throw blanket.
Throws are a great opportunity to pop in some color to a neutral room or update an established color scheme with a fresh twist.
Throw blankets fall into two categories: the Decorative Throw and the Workhorse Throw
The Decorative is just that, it is decorative and designed to give add a pop of color and texture. Decorative throws are typically smaller in size and are the perfect size for kids to snuggle up in or to keep you lap warm. The Workhorse is a larger size and serves a more practical purpose. It is the perfect size to fold at the end of your bed or drape over your sofa.
And there are some great sales right now on a few classic throws that would be the perfect addition to any home.
