Think throw blankets are just for chilly winter nights? Think again. At Seek & Swoon, we’re all about cozy living—no matter the season. Our throws are intentionally designed to be the perfect weight for year-round use. That means they’re just as at home on your patio in July as they are draped over your sofa in December.
So how can you bring a little “cozy meets cool” energy into your home (or outdoor space) this summer? Here are some of our favorite ways:
1. Lighten Up Your Layers
Summer is all about breezy textures and lighter palettes. Swap out heavy knits for one of our breathable, recycled cotton throws. Drape a soft neutral or cheerful pattern over the arm of a chair or the end of your bed. It’s an easy way to keep your space feeling fresh while still inviting.
2. Create an Alfresco Lounge
Warm evenings practically beg for time outdoors. Keep a throw handy on your patio or deck so you’re ready when the sun dips. A blanket over the back of an outdoor chair or layered on a bench makes the space instantly more welcoming—and perfect for wrapping up in when there’s a cool breeze.
3. Use Throws as Table Toppers
Think beyond the sofa! A folded throw can double as a casual table runner or even a picnic cloth. We love seeing our throws out in the wild—spreading color and texture across a dining table or picnic setup. It’s effortless style that looks and feels special.
4. Pack for Summer Adventures
Heading to the coast -- maybe even a visit to see our friends at Two Capes Lookout on the Oregon Coast? A local concert in the park? A Seek & Swoon throw is the ultimate take-along. Roll one up in your tote for impromptu picnics, sunset watching, or simply to keep cozy when the evening cools down. They’re lightweight, packable, and machine washable—made for real life.
5. Add a Pop of Personality
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with color. Whether it’s the warm tones of the Zion Throw or the playful stripes of the Isla Ombré, a new throw is an easy way to update your living room or bedroom without a complete redesign. Toss one over a chair or the corner of your bed to give the whole room a fresh vibe.
6. Road Trip Ready
Summer and road trips go hand in hand, and a cozy throw makes the perfect travel companion. Keep one in your car for long drives, impromptu stops, or to use as a blanket in your camper or RV. It’s an easy way to add a little homey comfort wherever the road takes you—plus, it doubles as a stylish backdrop for all those vacation photos.
Wrap Up (Literally!)
Throws aren’t just for winter hibernation. With the right patterns, weights, and styling, they become a staple of summer living—adding softness, style, and that just-right layer of comfort.
