Large Sofa Throws
We all need a little bit of a spruce up every now again. Especially in your living area, where much of your relaxation time is spent. The humble sofa plays a huge role in a living space.
A place to rest your feet and chill out. That’s why when you get home after a long old day at work and you want to just be horizontal on that sofa it’s important to make it as comfortable as possible. Large sofa throws are the perfect way to add a little bit of extra comfort and colour to your sofa.
You may have a large three piece sofa that needs a little bit of love, so why not take a look at draping a large luxury throw over the back. It not only looks great and brings a new element to your living space but it adds that extra bit of warmth in those winter months when you just need an extra layer when you’re watching your favourite rom-com.

Large Sofa throw Styles
Buying a large sofa throw can add a wonderful touch of decor to your living room or conservatory and add that extra splash of colour alongside an element of warmth. Below we go over some different styles and materials that you may consider.
Alpaca
Alpaca makes a fantastic choice for your large sofa throw. Not only is Alpaca one of the softest materials in the world it is incredibly warm. Alpaca fibre is hollow which means that air is trapped inside each strand and creates an extremely insulated material.
Alpaca sofa throws tend to originate from the Andean mountains of either Peru or Bolivia although in recent years there has been a rise in Alpaca farms throughout the world as they are used to mild climates.
Alpaca sofa throws add a touch of luxury and quality to a living area. Not only to the touch but also alpaca sofa throws come in a range of natural colours. Because alpaca fibre is fairly hard to dye the textiles that are produced tend to be un-dyed. You will find lots of blacks, greys, whites and browns that can create a softer appearance for your throw.
Striped
If you’re after a statement piece then why not take a look at stripes. An absolute classic and one of the most popular styles as they not only stand out but offer a more simple and classy look.
Stripes often come in many different styles and can be anything from two colours up. Be sure to compliment your decor with the opposite style of colour. A sofa throw with neutral stripes can bring a subtle touch of style to your bright and loud sofa. Otherwise a multicoloured sofa throw with stripes all different sizes will fold up on your beige sofa waiting to warm up the room.
Plain
Plain sofa throws are your calming retreat back into your home. If you perhaps have an overly bright or mix-match living space then a plain sofa throw will create an air of softness and relaxation on your sofa.
Plain sofa throws work best when they are neutral in colour such as white, brown, grey or black. These colours are particularly advantageous because they go with most colour schemes.
Patterned
For those in search of a statement piece or those that have a couple of snotty nosed kids running around a patterned sofa throw is a great choice. There are many options, from traditional patterns found in many middle eastern designs through to unique and handwoven throws.
They make a great choice for kids, not only do they add a bit of fun and vibrance to a living space but they also hide stains and splashes that otherwise would stand out on plain throws.
Pink
If you’re after a pop of colour for your front room sofa throw then take a look at some pink sofa throws. Although a disco pink throw may be a little bit too ‘extra’ lighter shades or blush pink will create a softer pop that stands out but doesn’t take all the attention.
How Large do I need my sofa throw?
Depending on the size of your sofa and the reason why you would like to buy a throw then you can assess different options.
If you are looking to buy a large sofa throw purely to dress the sofa and for aesthetics then measure the back of your sofa where you will rest it. This measurement will then either be the width or length of your new throw.
If you’re looking to buy a large sofa throw for comfort rather than solely using it for aesthetics then anything that is larger than 130cm x 130cm will keep your whole body including your toes warm.
