Ginkgo Leaf Throw Blanket
Which size do I need?
Size is the only choice, and it comes down to how many people get under it. Not to how big your sofa is — a throw is for bodies, not furniture.
| Choose | If this sounds like you |
|---|---|
| 150 × 200 cm | One person, one armchair. Wraps over your shoulders with your feet still covered, and folds small enough to live in a basket by the door or the boot of the car. |
| 200 × 230 cm | Two adults on the couch, or a full spread over a queen bed. This is the one that stops the nightly negotiation about who is under the blanket. |
| 230 × 250 cm | A king bed with real drop on both sides, or a household where three people and a dog end up on the sofa on a Sunday and nobody wants to be the one on the edge. |
If it is going on a bed, measure the mattress and add for the overhang you want. Frames do not need covering.
Will it still look like this after six months?
Mostly it depends on how you dry it, which is the part nobody thinks about.
| Do this | Avoid this |
|---|---|
| Cool gentle wash on its own, tumble low or line dry in shade, shake it out hard before folding, store it folded rather than stuffed | Hot washes, bleach, fabric softener, drying it draped over a sunny balcony rail all afternoon, sharing a drum with zips and hooks |
The overlooked one is the shake. A throw this size comes out of the machine as a compressed rope, and if you fold it straight from that state the creases set in and never fully drop out. Ten seconds of shaking it open before it dries is the entire maintenance routine.
Direct sun is what dulls the ginkgo leaf design over time. Shade drying costs you nothing and it keeps the contrast.
The throw that stays on the sofa instead of behind it.
There is a particular fate reserved for most throw blankets. They arrive, they look good on the arm of the couch for a week, and then someone uses one, screws it into a ball, and shoves it down the side of a cushion. From there it goes to the floor, then to a cupboard, and eventually to a car boot with sand in it. A throw survives that cycle only if it is nice enough to be worth refolding, and that comes down to the pattern being legible and the fabric being pleasant against bare arms. The ginkgo leaf design handles the first part — large fan-shaped leaves that still read as a design when the blanket is folded in thirds over an armrest.

Why the scale of the leaf is the thing that matters
Pattern scale decides whether a throw is decor or wallpaper. A small dense repeat looks busy up close and collapses into a flat colour from six feet away, which is why so many patterned throws end up feeling like beige. The ginkgo leaves here are drawn large, so the design survives folding, draping and being half-buried under a person. You can see it from the doorway, and you can still see it when only a corner is showing over the arm of the chair.
The fan shape does a second job. Ginkgo sits between botanical and geometric — organic enough to feel soft, but structured enough that it does not read as a floral. That is why it works in a room with mid-century timber, in a room that is all white and plaster, and in a share house where nothing matches anything.
Getting the size right
- 150 × 200 cm — The personal one. Light to carry, folds into a small stack, and it is the size that migrates around the house: sofa in the evening, bed at 3am, balcony on a cool morning.
- 200 × 230 cm — The shared one. Big enough for two people on a three-seater or a full queen top layer with overhang. The most commonly right answer if you are only buying one.
- 230 × 250 cm — The oversized one. Made for a king bed or a genuinely crowded couch. It is the only size with enough width that it does not get pulled off one person entirely when the other one rolls over.
