Blanket Scarves as Fall Decor 

Blanket scarves. They’re such a wonderful little creation. They’re more than a scarf but not quite a blanket unless you’re a small person.

They’re also very inexpensive and make a great fall or winter decoration. Today I’m showing you several ideas for using them in your fall decor.

1. Use as a Table Scarf 

Add a burst of color and texture to your table by draping a vibrant blanket scarf over it. Vintage wicker demijohns and a chicken wire cloche and planter bring even more personality and texture to the vignette.

Layer it with serving trays or baskets and fall decor for a cozy autumn theme. The wooden candle holders add a nice touch to this arrangement. See more of this look in this post: Fall Mantel Decor Ideas

2. In a basket

A blanket scarf makes a great filler for various types of baskets. I added one to a small basket trunk on our deck and it’s perfect for fall. See more of our outdoor mantel here: Cozy Rustic Fall Mantel

3. On your hearth

To soften the cold look of brick, stone, or marble, consider adding a plaid fall blanket scarf to your hearth. It’s a great way to add a dose of color and texture and it warms up the area next to the
wooden crate with the glass jug. See more of this look here: Fall Fireplace Decor

4. In a metal bucket

Give a contrast to metals with a soft blanket scarf. I added dark green blanket scarf plus a
sage green throw blanket to my vintage copper tub for a cozy fall look. See more of this fall decor here: Rustic Green and Copper Fall Decor
