But beyond its practical benefits, wool also comes in a variety of beautiful textures and vibrant colours, ensuring there’s a wool throw for every taste and interior style.

Merino wool throws are not only luxurious but durable, meaning your colourful throw will retain its softness and vibrancy for years to come.

How to Style Bright Wool Throws

Styling a bright wool throw is easier than you might think. Here are a few tips to make the most of your colourful wool throws:

1. Layering for Depth: Layer a bright wool throw over a neutral sofa or chair to create contrast and add depth to your space. This works particularly well with throws in bold colours like mustard, saffron yellow, blue, oranges and red.
2. Accent Colours: Use your wool throw to pick up accent colours in your room. For example, if your cushions or artwork feature subtle hints of green, a forest or sage green wool throw can tie everything together beautifully.
3. Bed Runner: Draping a wool throw at the foot of your bed adds a touch of luxury and warmth, making your bedroom feel like a high-end hotel. Choose a colour that complements your bedding or go for a bold contrast to make a statement. I love combining pinks and greens.
4. Outdoor Use: Wool throws aren’t just for indoors. Use them to add colour and comfort to your garden or patio furniture during cool evenings. The natural durability of wool makes them a perfect choice for outdoor lounging.

Colourful wool throws such as saffron yellows can blend easily with greens and neutrals.

Bright-coloured wool throws are a fantastic way to bring warmth, comfort, and colour to your home. Whether you prefer the softness of Merino wool throws, the cosiness of Gotland wool throws, or the traditional Swedish lambswool throws, there’s a perfect blanket for any room in your home.
