One Throw Does Not Fit All Seasons
A throw that keeps you warm under a blanket on a January evening is not the same one you want draped over your sofa in July. Just as you rotate your wardrobe with the seasons, rotating your throws keeps your home comfortable and visually fresh throughout the year.
This seasonal guide helps you choose the right weight, material and colour for each time of year, so your living spaces always feel just right. Browse the full throws collection to see what is available
Spring: Fresh Starts and Lighter Layers
Weight and Material
Spring calls for lightweight throws in breathable materials. Cotton and cotton-blend throws are ideal — they provide a light layer of warmth for cool evenings without overheating. As temperatures rise through the season, you will appreciate a throw that feels airy rather than heavy.
Colours for Spring
Spring is the time to lighten your colour palette. Swap out dark winter throws for softer tones
Cream and ivory
Soft sage green
Pale blue
Blush pink
Natural and oatmeal
The Zahra Herringbone Throw in Natural captures the spring feeling perfectly. Its light, neutral tone and classic herringbone weave bring a fresh, airy quality to any room.
Styling Tips for Spring
Fold your spring throw loosely and drape it over the arm of your sofa. The relaxed approach suits the season's lighter mood. Pair with a few fresh cushion covers in coordinating pastel tones for a complete seasonal refresh.
Summer: Decorative Rather Than Functional
Weight and Material
During summer, throws serve a mostly decorative purpose. Choose your lightest, thinnest throw or consider using a cotton bedspread instead. If you use air conditioning, a light throw nearby provides comfort without bulk.
Colours for Summer
Bright, vibrant colours work well in summer — think coral, turquoise, sunshine yellow and crisp white. Even if your room's permanent colour scheme is neutral, a boldly coloured throw adds seasonal energy.
Styling Tips for Summer
In summer, display your throw in a basket beside the sofa or fold it neatly on a shelf. You want it accessible but not dominating the space. This is also a good time to wash and store your heavier winter throws properly.
Autumn: Warmth Returns
Weight and Material
As temperatures drop in September and October, medium-weight throws come back into rotation. Wool blends, acrylic and waffle-knit textures provide warmth without the heaviness of full winter throws.
The Honeycomb Throw in Burnt Orange is an autumn essential. Its waffle texture adds visual warmth, while the burnt orange colour is the quintessential autumn shade. It works beautifully in living rooms, bedrooms and even home offices.
Colours for Autumn
Autumn is the season for rich, warm tones
Burnt orange and rust
Mustard and gold
Deep red and burgundy
Chocolate brown
Forest green
These colours reflect the changing landscape outside and create a warm, cocooning atmosphere indoors.
Styling Tips for Autumn
Layer your autumn throw over the back of the sofa, letting it cascade down. Combine it with cushions in complementary autumn tones. Add a few candles, and you have an instant seasonal update that costs very little.
Winter: Maximum Comfort
Weight and Material
Winter is the season for your heaviest, most substantial throws. Look for thick wool, chunky knits and high-GSM fabrics that provide genuine insulation. A good winter throw should feel like a warm hug.
The Honeycomb Throw in Charcoal is a strong winter choice. The deep charcoal colour anchors a winter living room, and the honeycomb texture traps warm air effectively.
Colours for Winter
Winter favours deep, moody colours and rich neutrals
Charcoal and dark grey
Navy blue
Silver
Deep plum
Rich cream
The Zahra Herringbone Throw in Silver bridges the gap between autumn and winter. Its cool silver tone works well in minimalist and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, and the herringbone pattern adds visual texture to winter's shorter, darker days.
Styling Tips for Winter
In winter, keep your throw within easy reach — draped over the sofa where you can pull it over your lap during a film or while reading. Layer multiple throws in different textures for both visual interest and practical warmth.
Year-Round Throw Care
Washing
Check the care label before washing any throw. Most cotton and polycotton throws can be machine washed at 30°C to 40°C on a gentle cycle. Wool blends may require hand washing or dry cleaning.
Storage
When rotating throws between seasons, store the off-season ones cleaned, folded and in a breathable cotton storage bag. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and cause musty odours.
Refreshing Between Washes
Between washes, shake your throw outdoors to remove dust and freshen it up. A brief spell on the washing line on a breezy day works wonders for removing any staleness.
Building a Year-Round Throw Collection
You do not need dozens of throws to cover every season. A well-chosen collection of four — one per season — gives you plenty of variety. Here is a practical starting set from Kumperi
Spring: Zahra Herringbone Throw in Natural — light, breathable and neutral
Summer: A light cotton throw in a bright accent colour
Autumn: Honeycomb Throw in Burnt Orange — warm tone, medium weight, textured
Winter: Honeycomb Throw in Charcoal — deep colour, substantial texture
This rotation keeps your home feeling fresh and comfortable all year, and because each throw suits multiple rooms, you get excellent value from every piece.

Where to Use Throws Beyond the Living Room
Throws are not limited to sofas. Consider placing one at the foot of a guest bed for extra warmth. Drape one over a home office chair for chilly working-from-home days. Fold one into a picnic basket for outdoor use in warmer months. The versatility of a good throw means it earns its place in every room of the house.
