This weekend I challenge you to find alternate uses for the blankets, quilts and throws. Oftentimes we take for granted their own colours, textures and intricate patterns and focus more on their function — particularly during the winter. As you may not need them for heat in the upcoming months, they can definitely serve an alternate function as room decoration.
This ideabook provides a jump-start to finding new ways to decorate with blankets, throws and quilts. A few of the tips from the images below may be recognizable to the others you, eye opening and new. After all, our Houzz readers are a creative bunch. Have a look and see.

Store your blanket in plain sight. When not being used, this sweet comforter covers a sofa and concurrently becomes instant decoration at a quiet small nursery.
Rev up your antique furniture with a jolt of colour that is dramatic and pattern. A blanket complements the accent pillows and creates visual interest.
Choose a peachy cashmere throw for a subtle touch of colour and a bit of indulgence that is everyday. In this photo, the toss helps to soften the appearance of the wooden seat, but in everyday living it may be tossed across your shoulders or cover your lap for extra warmth throughout the thermostat wars.
