How to Store Blankets Without Hiding Them Away

Blankets are one of those household essentials that somehow never seem to have an obvious place to go.

Stuffing them into a closet works, but beautiful blankets don't necessarily need to be hidden.

With the right approach, storage can actually become part of the room.

1. Use an Oversized Floor Basket

A substantial woven basket beside the sofa is one of the easiest solutions.

Loosely fold or roll your blankets rather than trying to make them perfectly uniform.

2. Drape One Over the Sofa

The simplest storage solution isn't really storage at all.

If you use a blanket frequently, let it live where you use it.

Drape a SOL&CO blanket over the arm, back, or corner of your sofa and allow the handmade texture to become part of the room.

3. Add a Storage Bench

A bench at the foot of the bed provides hidden storage while giving you somewhere to sit.

It's particularly useful for storing extra bedding and seasonal blankets.

4. Try a Blanket Ladder

A blanket ladder takes advantage of vertical space and turns textiles into wall décor.

It's especially useful in bedrooms or living rooms where floor space is limited.

5. Use Open Shelving

Beautifully folded blankets can work on open shelves alongside books, baskets, and decorative objects.

Don't overcrowd the shelves; leave enough space for the texture of the blanket to stand out.

6. Dedicate a Drawer

If you prefer a cleaner aesthetic, dedicate a deep dresser or cabinet drawer specifically to blankets.

Fold rather than compress them whenever possible.

7. Rotate Seasonally

You probably don't need every blanket accessible at the same time.

Keep your most-used pieces within reach and store less frequently used ones in a clean, dry location.

Beautiful Things Can Be Useful

We believe the objects you use every day can also be some of the most beautiful things in your home.

That's particularly true of handmade textiles.

Instead of treating your favorite blanket like something that needs to be hidden when you're finished using it, let it become part of the space.

After all, a SOL&CO blanket was made to be lived with, not packed away. Explore the Collection.
