When it comes to bedroom decor, everyone has their own preferences. While some may love bold, colorful rooms, others prefer a more calming and neutral atmosphere. As for me, I lean towards soft neutrals and light colors for a peaceful and restful environment. However, I didn’t want my bedroom to be just a sea of beige and cream. I needed to add some color and pattern to liven things up a bit, while still maintaining a sense of calmness and elegance with an Italian Mid-Century Modern vibe.
One simple way I decided to introduce some variety is through a bed blanket. Bed blankets have been a popular trend, especially those with bold patterns that give off a vintage feel. So, I embarked on a journey to find the perfect bed blanket to complement my eclectic bedding style, which heavily relies on the choice of my end-of-bed blanket. Let’s start by understanding the sizing of bed blankets:
- Twin: 65″ x 90″
- Full/Queen: 90″ x 90″ +
- King: 108″ x 90″ +
- California King: 108″ x 92″
If you’re looking for a larger throw blanket, it should be around:
- 50″ x 70″ or 60″ x 80″
Now, let’s delve into the options I’m considering, starting with a glimpse of my current bed setup for context.

I absolutely adore my bed and bench – they are truly dreamy pieces that have transformed my space. The attention to detail and quality from Buildlane and Kravet have exceeded my expectations. And having a Katy Skelton furniture piece is like a dream come true.
Now, let’s elevate these pieces with some beautiful bedding…
