They are generally one and the same, but throws are often used as decorative home accessories and blankets are for cosying up with. Both can be used vice versa too! Don’t limit yourself to just one if a design has caught your eye - throws can be just as comfortable and warm as blankets! Throws can often be smaller and are only really meant for one person - something to bear in mind. Make sure to check the measurements if you need a blanket or throw for a specific place or purpose. If you were planning on using yours as a decorative home accessory; blankets and throws could both do the job, but the size might not suit your needs! If you’re styling yours on the bed or sofa, make sure to measure the length before browsing. If you’re still not sure, we’d recommend going for something bigger, as you can always fold over the extra fabric to create the desired effect!
