How to Style a Colourful Throw from Jade and May

A colourful throw is one of the easiest ways to inject personality, warmth, and style into any space. Whether you’re draping it over your couch, styling it on your bed, or using it as a cosy companion for chilly evenings, a beautifully designed throw from Jade and May can elevate your home aesthetic effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your vibrant throw!

1. Drape It Over Your Sofa with Flair

A throw casually draped over your sofa can add an effortless, chic look to your living space. Try these techniques:

  • The Casual Cascade: Fold the throw lengthwise and drape it over the armrest or back of your couch for an inviting, undone look

  • Neat & Tidy: Fold it into a square and place it symmetrically over the arm of your sofa for a more polished and structured feel

  • Layering Magic: Combine your colourful throw with neutral-toned cushions to make it pop while maintaining a balanced aesthetic

2. Style It on Your Bed for an Insta-Worthy Look

A throw can instantly make your bed look more luxurious and well-curated. Try these ideas:

  • At the Foot of the Bed: Fold your throw lengthwise and lay it across the foot of your bed for a hotel-chic feel

  • Diagonal Drama: Toss it diagonally across the bed for a relaxed and artsy look.

  • Layer It Up: Use a mix of textures—pair your colourful throw with linen, cotton, or wool bedding for a cozy, stylish effect


3. Create a Cozy Reading Nook

Nothing says ‘curl up and relax’ like a snug throw! Here’s how to incorporate it into your cozy corner:

  • Drape it over your reading chair for an extra touch of warmth

  • Roll it up in a stylish woven basket next to your favorite reading spot

  • Pair it with a comfy cushion and a good book to set the scene for the ultimate relaxation zone

4. Outdoor Styling for Alfresco Evenings

Your throw isn’t just for the indoors—it can be the perfect addition to your outdoor space too! Use it to:

  • Add warmth to your patio furniture for those cooler evenings

  • Bring a pop of color to a neutral outdoor setting

  • Wrap yourself up in it while sipping a cuppa .. or your favourite tipple under the stars

 

5. Tone it Down or Go Bold

 A colourful throw can be used in so many different spaces, regardless of your own personal style.  Tone it back with some soft pastels or go bold(er!) and add an extra layer of colour to existing patterns and brights.  Change it up as often as you like - there is so much fun to be had!


 

6. Get Creative!

Don't think you need to keep your favourite colourful tablecloth in the kitchen drawer between uses! Use it as a fun, colourful throw and pop it on the end of a bed to inject a whole lotta fun to the space.  Or layer one, two.. or even three throws for maximum impact.  Let a patterned throw peek out from below
