Blankets, afghans, and throws are all fantastic textile pieces used by a plethora of home decorators. In the simplest terms, each of these items carries the same functions. They are all decorative pieces within the home and can be used for the purpose of keeping one warm. And within each of these different styles of textiles, there are multiple variations of each. By learning the difference between blankets, afghans, and throws, you may gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of the unique qualities as well as develop a new inspiration for adding more of these items to your home.

Blankets

In general, blankets are simply large pieces of cloth. Blankets are often used as a bed covering as they are the biggest of the three. While sheets are used for comfort and hygiene, the blanket itself can add an aesthetic element while also serving the purpose of offering warmth while one relaxes or sleeps. Blankets are typically qualified as such because of their thickness and the fact that they have a fill.

Blankets can be broken down into further categories, including comforters, duvets, and quilts. Comforters are another subgroup of blankets, which are composed of an outer layer as well as filling that has been stitched strategically to keep the filling in place. Comforters are used with sheets and other blankets for a layered look while duvets are used alone. Duvets are made of down, wool, feathers or a synthetic alternative and are filled with a soft and flat bag that is kept by a removable cover. Quilts are constructed of padding enclosed between layers of fabric, which is decoratively stitched to secure the layers.
