I’ve always loved the arrival of spring, with its promise of freshness and renewal. It’s a time when I can play with colours, textures, and accessories in my spring home decor. My focus inevitably turns to my living room, which I consider the epicentre of my house. Here, I have the freedom to experiment with all kinds of different hues and layer textures.
One of my favourite additions to my spring living room decor has always been throw blankets, each in a variety of textures and colours. But I often find myself stuck when it comes to choosing the perfect model. Because there are so many good options to consider! The choices are endless, but I have a preference for those made from cotton. There’s something about the softness of natural materials that adds an extra layer of comfort to my home decor. But throws are incredibly versatile and we can use them to decorate any room in the house. Every person welcomes the change in seasons in their own way. 🙂
When selecting throw blankets, I often consider how they complement my existing furniture and decor. A vibrant throw can add a pop of colour to a neutral sofa or chair, while a textured blanket can create visual interest in the overall design. Ultimately, the decision comes down to striking the perfect balance between comfort, quality and affordability.
Here are some of my favourite affordable throws blankets for this spring:

- 1. Lightweight knitted throw
A lightweight knitted throw is the perfect addition to any living room design. I can picture myself on a warm, sunny day, lounging on my living room sofa, completely absorbed in a captivating mystery book. As I lose myself in the pages, I reach for a pastel knitted cotton blanket throw and I drape it over my legs. It’s just the right amount of comfort and cosiness for my relaxing afternoon. The gentle breeze from the open windows whispers through the room, and for a moment, all is calm and tranquil.
The best quality of this type of blanket throw is its incredible lightness on the skin paired with just the right amount of warmth and comfort. It’s ideal to use on a breezy spring day. It’s also very easy to care for, we can simply toss it in the washing machine and it comes out looking and feeling just as beautiful as before. What I love most is that it’s made from natural cotton material and it always comes in a variety of colours. With its soft and supple texture, this blanket provides excellent elasticity and durability.
- 2. Textured blanket throw with fringes
Fringes made a triumphant return during the Golden Age and remained a dominant feature in fashion and home decor for decades thereafter. The recent resurgence of fringe comes as no surprise, as now they have taken centre stage in home fashion trends.
That’s why I believe a vibrant coloured cotton throw with fringes is the perfect accessory to transition from our winter home decor to spring. Simply draped over a sofa, these blankets can add an instant touch of sophistication and bohemian charm to our interior space. Made from breathable cotton material, they provide comfort, ease of movement and they come in a diversity of spring colours. I also have to confess it was my first choice for my spring living room decor this year.
I’ve always had a special connection with blankets adorned with fringes. They evoke a distinct 90’s vibe and bring back unique memories from my teenage years. But beyond the nostalgia, I believe that’s what home decor is all about, surrounding ourselves with pieces that reflect who we are and the journey we’ve traveled. Each item in our home should expose another layer of our personality. 🙂
- 3. Floral boho reversible throw
There’s no better way to welcome spring than by celebrating its blooming colours! Spring represents the awakening of nature’s beauty and I always try to incorporate its meaning into my home as well. I like to use vivid colours to instantly uplift my space and infuse it with the freshness of the season. Adding a reversible floral cotton boho throw to our living room design is the perfect way to breathe new life into our home. I am in love with vibrant floral patterns! They create feelings of joy and hope among our family and friends.
Since we are talking about a reversible throw, I believe it’s perfect for changing up the colour combinations every now and then. It’s a simple way to refresh our home decor and bring a touch of the outdoors inside. To me, this describes the true essence of bohemian home accessories. 🙂
Considering a boho throw made from durable cotton, I can think of another way to use it during spring. I imagine feeling the soft grass beneath the blanket and the gentle wind in my hair while enjoying a delightful picnic with my friends. It’s a natural blend of colours, flowers, nature, and love.
- 4. Banjara hand-woven throw blanket
I’m fascinated by ancient cultures and the traditional decor of their spaces. There’s so much history waiting to be discovered in the different periods of the world. Whenever I want to infuse my living space with a vintage touch, I always choose handmade accessories. They carry an undeniable authenticity that instantly transports me to another place and time.
A perfect example is a Banjara traveller multi-coloured throw blanket, inspired by the nomadic tribes from India. What I love the most is their traditional technique of space dyeing, ensuring that each piece is unique.
I would picture our sofa chair adorned with a traditional handcrafted cotton throw, imposing its antique presence in our living room decor. It would be a bold piece to highlight the arrival of spring into our lives. But it would be an excellent choice to decorate our outdoor spaces as well. The splash of colours and the breathable material can bring us back to our roots, where connection to nature and the earth were essential. A symbol of the simplicity and beauty found in our natural surroundings.
- 5. Turkish cotton throw blanket
During my childhood, I used to spend the first weekend of spring at my grandparents’ farmhouse. Their house was decorated using this amazing stylish country style. For some reason, it filled me with feelings of peace and easiness of life. 🙂 I am convinced that one day I will transform my home decor into a rustic style. It just reminds me of the years of innocence and pure joy.
Therefore, a rustic Turkish cotton throw will definitely be on my shopping list when I finally decide to change my living room decor. Because Turkish cotton is absorbent, soft, and lightweight, we can use this kind of throw in many different ways. We can even use it as a table cover or as a towel.
It’s the perfect addition to our home when spring arrives. It gives me that rustic feeling and it reminds me of all the people I hold dear in my life. I imagine using this throw to cover my outdoor table and enjoying a barbeque with all my family members on a sunny spring day. Just thinking about it fills me with gratitude.
But each person is unique, and spring holds a different meaning for everyone. I just think that adding a charming accessory to our spring home decor can bring out those emotions hidden deep within all of us. And would make our house truly feel like home! 🙂
