How to Arrange a Blanket on a Sofa
- 1). Fold the blanket in half horizontally and then neatly fold it vertically in thirds or fourths to create a rectangle. Drape it over one arm of the sofa to serve as a throw. Informal placement of the blanket makes it handy to use during cold weather.
- 2). Fold a square blanket in half to create a triangle and drape the folded blanket over the back of the sofa with the fold hanging over the back and the triangle's point aiming down at the seat. This position works well for woven and decorative blankets. The blanket covers a great deal of the back of the couch to add more color to the room, and also serves as a cover to easily pull down over someone resting on the sofa. It's also easy to pull the back corners of the blanket over your shoulders for warmth while sitting on the couch.
- 3). Match up the two long ends of a rectangular blanket and hang the blanket over the back of the sofa, with the fold behind the sofa. Adjust the blanket, so the edge reaches the seat fully covering the couch's back, if the blanket is more for display than use. You can tuck the edge between the back and the seat.
