Stop by any outlet and you will be bombarded with options for throws, blankets, quilts, pillows and the like, all which promise to make your living room, bedrooms and other spaces more appealing, both to you and company.
The thing is, the modern era affords so much more to the modern consumer that the variety can make even a level head spin. In terms of materials, colors, constructions, and nature of the fabrics, there is plenty of variety under the sun. Perhaps there is even too much for most.
But the fact about this variety is greater than that it is the spice of life. It also gives you the freedom to make a perfect match for the setting, without settling. If you’re looking for fur throws or real fur blankets, they can very well be worth the investment.
Why Real Fur Blankets
Real fur blankets have just as much ability to be loud as they have to mute a setting, and for that reason alone you might be wondering if they are worth the time and money required to source them properly. Provided you do your research thoughtfully, the answer is yes, and here’s why.
What can be said that wasn’t said in those two words? Furs have always been in fashion. They’ve been in fashion since before recorded history and if given the chance, as a renewable, sustainable, practical resource, they will remain valuable in perpetuity.
Adding a fur throw or a real fur blanket to your bed or sofa will add distinction that is simply undeniable. There’s no way around that.

There is no substitute for the experience
In addition to the fact that a genuine fur blanket will add timeless luxury to a setting, there’s no substitute for the experience. For our part, we can confidently say that we’ve never come across one yet. The best of the best synthetics simply pale in comparison. It’s true enough that some of them, may, on occasion, look real, none of them possess the same suave character as genuine fur.
Genuine fur may have been endowed with a character that is opulent and cannot be duplicated, but there is another, better reason they make excellent blankets. It’s the same reason they make great coats, jackets, gloves and hats: warmth.
Fur may be somewhat difficult to care for, and it may cost the part, but it will keep you feeling warm and snug like nothing else. Snuggle up under a real fur blanket and you’ll wonder how you ever got by with just cotton and synthetics. Heavy and warm, fur will embrace you and keep you warm through the coldest months of the year.

Elevate the setting - set the bar higher
Finally, a real fur blanket can add value to your bedroom in ways that are as yet intangible. If you’re looking to create the image of opulence, you can’t do it with inferior imitations. You need the best you can get, and genuine fur makes a statement that says plainly and confidently, “here there is luxury.”
How to Create Harmony in the Setting
If you’re seriously considering investing in a real fur throw or blanket, you will probably also want to make sure that your investment is supported. Don’t just throw a blanket down and call it: guarantee the setting is balanced and supports itself.
-
Match the color, pattern and texture of the fur to the other textiles in the room.
-
Create a sense of continuity by accenting the setting with wood finishes and stains that vibrate with the fur.
-
Create contrast with lighter or darker tones that draw attention to your decorative fixtures.
-
Don’t miss a chance to accent the throw with similar fur pillows.
-
Wall art and hangings should support, not clash with, your fur ornamentations.
-
Dress the part - wear your finest furs when entertaining.
Each of these suggestions will work wonderfully alongside a real fur blanket, and can help to cultivate a sense of unmistakable harmony and balance for your home.
Don’t Settle for Less
Synthetics and substitutes might make a passable alternative, at least from a visual standpoint, but if you’re going to make your interior design a fully immersive experience, never settle for less than the best.
That means genuine furs, genuine marble, real flowers - whatever you need to complete your vision for your home. Take pride, never compromise; create the luxurious impression of your dreams.
