Wool blankets offer both warmth and style for your bed. You can use them either layered over existing bedding for extra insulation or as a standalone bedspread.
Using a Wool Blanket for Layering
One popular way to incorporate a wool blanket is by layering it on top of your current bedding, such as sheets, duvets, or quilts.
- Adding Warmth: Layering wool blankets over your bedding provides extra warmth, making it ideal for cooler nights or colder seasons. Wool is an excellent insulator, trapping air and retaining heat effectively.
- Creating Texture and Style: Beyond just warmth, layering adds a textured look to your bed setup. The natural weave and feel of wool can provide visual interest.
- Enhancing Decor: Mixing patterns and colours between the wool blanket and your existing bedding can add depth and personality to your bedroom decor. This allows you to easily change the look of your room by swapping out blankets.
You might place a folded wool blanket at the foot of the bed or spread it fully over the top layer of your duvet or comforter for maximum coverage and warmth.
Using a Wool Blanket as a Bedspread
For a different aesthetic, a single wool blanket can serve as the primary cover for your bed.
- Unique Alternative: Use a large, beautifully designed wool blanket as a bedspread. This offers a unique and rustic look compared to traditional fabric bedspreads or duvets.
- Simplified Look: Choosing a single blanket as a bedspread can create a cleaner, more minimalist appearance while still providing the natural charm and warmth of wool.
This method works particularly well with thick, substantial wool blankets that are large enough to drape over the sides and foot of the bed.
Whether you choose to layer for enhanced warmth and texture or use it as a distinct bedspread, a wool blanket is a versatile addition to your bedding collection.
