Stylish and easy to access, large open baskets make the perfect vessel for storing blankets when they’re not in use and a neat stack of nicely-rolled blankets makes for an aesthetically-pleasing display. If you’ve opted for a lidded design, or you’re planning to store them in a small laundry room, rolling blankets are still worth doing. Not only is it space-efficient, but it’ll keep them neat – using a blanket full of creases will make any room feel untidy.
Shannon advises a similar approach when learning how to roll towels. ‘Fold the blanket in half lengthwise so both halves are aligned. Repeat this so you have a small rectangle. Flatten out the fabric to remove any wrinkles. Start at one end (either of the shorter sides of your rectangle) and tightly roll the blanket’, she explains.
Storing multiple blankets in a basket helps them to retain their shape. If you fancy a more laid-back feel, you can always pull a corner of the top blanket out over the side of the basket.
