Checked & Tartan Throws & Blankets

Classic, warm, and enduringly popular, our checked and tartan throws and blankets collection covers everything from traditional Highland tartans and bold buffalo check through to softer, more contemporary plaid designs. These are the throws that feel at home on every sofa in the country.
Checked and tartan throws are one of the most versatile options in the whole throws category because they suit such a wide range of room styles. A classic tartan in deep reds and greens suits a traditionally styled living room with wooden furniture and warm fabrics. A bold black and white buffalo check works just as well in a contemporary Scandi-inspired room. Softer, more muted plaid designs in grey and cream suit almost any room without making a strong stylistic statement. When choosing a checked throw, think about the scale of the pattern relative to your sofa — a large check print tends to work better on a bigger, wider sofa, while smaller check patterns suit armchairs and more compact seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available?

Our throws come in a range of standard sizes — check individual product listings for the specific dimensions available in each design.

Many of our throws are machine washable, though always check the specific care label on each product before washing.

What fabrics are used for throws and blankets?

Our range includes fleece, faux fur, cotton, knitted, woven, and sherpa fabrics depending on the individual design.

Can I use a throw on a bed as well as a sofa?

Yes, throws are versatile and work beautifully draped over a bed, sofa, armchair, or used as an extra layer on colder nights.

How do I style a throw on a sofa?

Drape it casually over one arm of the sofa for a relaxed feel, fold it neatly over the back, or bunch it at one end for a more lived-in look.

Do throws help with warmth and insulation?

Yes, a good quality throw adds a meaningful extra layer of warmth, particularly on evenings when the central heating is off.

How do I care for my throw to keep it looking its best?

Follow the care label instructions carefully. Most throws benefit from a cool machine wash and should be reshaped while damp and air dried flat to maintain their appearance.

Checked & Tartan Throws & Blankets

Checked and tartan throws have an enduring appeal that transcends interior trends. Whether you are drawn to the rich heritage of a traditional Highland tartan, the graphic boldness of a buffalo check, or the relaxed charm of a softer woven plaid, there is a design in our collection that will feel at home in your space. These are the throws that get used every single day — draped on the sofa, pulled around your shoulders on a cold evening, or layered across the foot of a bed for extra warmth.

Tartan throws pair naturally with warm wood furniture, leather seating, and traditionally styled rooms, while bold check designs suit contemporary and Scandi-inspired schemes where graphic pattern is a deliberate choice. For coordinating accessories, our checked and tartan cushion covers range has matching designs that sit well alongside a tartan throw. Our checked and tartan bedding collection carries the same pattern language into the bedroom, and our full throws and blankets shop has every other style available to browse.
