Down Comforter Bedding

This is the first entry in our weekly series about decorating with down. With rising fuel and utility costs, everyone is concerned about the cost of heating their homes. Turning down the heat can save your significantly over the course of the fall and winter seasons. Keep a down throw blanket around so you can always combat the cold.

While we all want to save money on home heating costs, if you get cold and sick you haven’t saved anything at all when you consider medical bills and lost time from work. Have a down throw handy so you can stay warm on the coldest days. Decorative down throw blankets look pretty displayed over chairs and sofas or on their own attractive blanket rack. When a chill sets in, you simply grab your down throw blanket and put it over your legs to feel toasty warm.

I have a colorful down throw blanket over the back of my living room sofa. When I watch television, sew or read at night, I put the down over my lap instead of heading for the thermostat. I also keep a down throw at my office in the reception area. The throw has a patchwork design and I hang it over a blanket rack. If I get cold at my desk, I throw the down over my legs. Nobody even sees it and I don’t run the risk of fires or burns from portable heaters.

Displaying a down throw blanket in your home and office is a decorative, practical idea.
