Throws and bedspreads

The range of throws and bedspreads available from Casa Bella Furniture can make any sofa or bed much warmer and more appealing. Not only do they add colours and patterns to your room and décor but if you find yourself a bit cold they are perfect for wrapping up with while reading your favourite book, listening to some relaxing music or watching what’s on TV – regardless of whether any of those activities are Christmas themed or not.

One of our favourite choices is the Tapestry Jacquard Throw/Bedspread, which has a great design and works well for the living room and bedroom – or both if you want to take it with you from room to room. Not only is it great to wrap up in but the calm, warm colours will help bring warmth to any room  as well as protecting your sofa from the wear and tear of life. Any throw or bedspread is a great choice for this and will help cut down on heating costs.

So keep in mind that turning on your heating isn’t always the answer, especially if it’s just one or two rooms you’ll be using for a while. Whether it’s a rug, a throw or some new cushions, you can keep warm for much longer at much better value than always turning your heaters to max. While it might be needed at times, these options will be available throughout the year and will have long-term benefits for you and your family.
