[Editor’s Note]
This week, we are chatting with interior textiles specialist Lana Meyer, a stylist with a passion for updating comfort one room at a time. Her favorite tool lately? The Chenille Throw Blanket. Here’s what she told us.
The Chenille Throw Blanket – A Soft Staple Redefined
Lana, why chenille? Why is it your first choice?
Lana Meyer: “Chenille is the soft whisper in every home. Elegant without being delicate, plush without being clunky. A well-placed Chenille Throw Blanket doesn’t just add space — it completes it.“
And she’s right. This is what chenille gives the room, and it does so within the first few folds. Whether it is thrown across a bed or draped over a couch or is worn to keep you toasty during a movie night, this blanket offers warmth in body and heart.
Zig-Zag Chenille Throw – Texture in Motion
We spoke with Lana about signature styles. First up?
Lana: “The Zig-Zag Chenille Throw Blanket is ideal for those who like understated patterns. It adds eye-dance to minimal rooms and mixes so beautifully with solids.”
Design tip: It’s great for breaking up flat surfaces. Layer on neutral bedding or a simple sofa for a striking contrast. The embossed zig-zag doesn’t vie for the spotlight — it adds to it.
Textured Chenille Knit Throw Blanket – The Deep Maker
Then we got to tactile design and how texture can affect comfort and aesthetics.
Lana: “The Textured Chenille Knit Throw Blanket is the cashmere sweater for your room. It begs to be touched, and that alters the feel of a room. “There’s more engagement with textures — they sit longer, they stay warmer.”
Perfect for layered beds, kids hull hideaways and ideal for a cozy accent in a reading nook. Its thicker texture is also perfect for more rustic or farmhouse-inspired spaces.
Chenille Cable Knit Throw Blanket – A Classic and Elegant Blanket
When it comes to classic style, the cable knit is always in the mix.
Lana: “This Chenille Cable Knit Throw Blanket has that classic cable stitch, but chenille just makes it so dreamy and inviting. It’s your B.F.B. (best friend blanket) when you want something that looks as cozy as it is.”
Editor’s pick: Pair with seasonal hues. Soft muted ivories for autumn, cool grays for winter, and pale blues for the spring. Toss one over a wicker chair, or at the end of a bed or over a wicker settee for resort-worthy curb appeal in a flash, with Battilo Home’s decorative throw blanket, tassel throw blanket, or even a second color of this sumptuous blanket, each sold separately.
Battilo Home – A Mix of Comfort and Craft with Style
Lana doesn’t skip a beat when it comes to where to shop.
Lana: “Battilo Home really gets what today’s home owners want: pieces that are functional, gorgeous and versatile. Their chenille throws “allow you to mix moods and easily match throughout rooms” — particularly its plaid throw blanket and seasonal color palettes, she said.
Cool summers to cozy winters, Battilo’s collections provide you with texture solutions all year long. And they’re easy to maintain, so styling for reality is as simple as stylized staging.
How to Use a Chenille Throw Blanket? Everywhere.
Need placement ideas? Our editor wanted to know from Lana where a woman on the go can find her favorite styling spots.
- Sofa arm: Bring casual grace to the living room. Bonus points for pairing with a decorative pillow.
- Folded at the foot of the bed: soft bedding as the crisp edge or the loose drape.
- Rolled in a basket next to the fireplace: A visual prompt that encourages guests to make themselves at home.
- On a porch chair: For early morning coffee or evening wind-downs — yes, chenille works outside too (under the shade)!
Final Thoughts about why this is the Blanket Everyone is Coming Back to
To close out our chat we hit up Lana for the last word on THe Trend:
Lana: “It’s not that the Chenille Throw Blanket is back — it never left. It’s a design chameleon, a tactile treat and one of the easiest ways to make a place feel lived-in. Classic cable, deep textured, chenille, bold zig-zag make us love a statement sweater once again “statement”, patterned cable, retro chenille, etc just enriches the style and the soul.
Whether you’re curling up on the couch, or just hanging out in the guest room, we’ve got you covered with the Chenille Throw Blanket – Soft Celadon Blue – Threshold™ for the final flourish.
