Blankets, throws and the like

Of the wooly sort. To add a layer of colour and texture to a bed. Suggestions much appreciated. Cheers.

Hard to do without knowing the style of your place.

House is georgian, high cealings, oak floorboards, usual original features (mouldings, huge sash windows, etc.). Furniture style is eclectic: 18th C bureau, a pair of french thirties club chairs, a chaise from Plinio il Giovane, etc. The bedroom is dominated by a plain custom wardrobe I'm getting made, which will be painted in light grey with a a couple of more colourful doors. The bed is practically invisible: very simple, platform, white and natural wood -- from Ikea! There's a a yellow swan chair by the window, a kind of multicoloured seventies storage tub on wheels, an vestigial fireplace without frame (big books and a convex mirror inside), a pile of wine crates for a bedside table. I need another chair but haven't decided what to get -- maybe something Danish and wooden. I'm also looking for a Bauhaus rug of sorts or something else geometric. As you can see (well, imagine) the bedroom is messy and just about anything would fit.

I don't know if you looked at this old thread, but there are some good ideas: http://www.styleforum.net/t/88747/throws

What do you think about a fur one?

I just ordered a stripy mohair one from a UK site, interestingly. It goes with my colours sort of like a pocket square does with one's clothes: not matching but harmonising.

No fur for me unless it's a byproduct of the food industry. Also, I bought a reindeer skin in Norway and my girlfriend refuses to step on it.

More throw suggestions still welcome though -- I can see myself buying another one.

Fur is awesome, but fr the winter. Take a look at Frette.com

Cheers. Might try and look at some Frette stuff when I'm next in Italy.
