It is that there is nothing on top with any weight or edge to it, so the whole thing reads as flat. Fold a tasselled blanket across the bottom third and the bed suddenly has a horizon line. Same trick on a sofa: the arm gets a drape, the fringe catches the light, and the sofa stops looking like it is waiting to be sat on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Greenery Floral Cotton Tassel Blanket detail of the floral weave and fringe\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/GreeneryFloralCottonTasselBlanket_2.jpg?v=4503766285%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe fringe is doing structural work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTassels look decorative and they are, but they also add weight along the edge, and weight is what makes fabric fall properly. A blanket with a plain hem lifts and curls at the corners; the edge floats and the whole thing looks lightweight even when it isn't. A weighted, fringed edge falls in a straight vertical line over the side of a mattress or a sofa arm. That single detail is most of the difference between a blanket that looks styled and one that looks thrown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton is the other half. A woven cotton blanket holds greenery and floral tones in the fibre rather than on the surface, so the greens stay deep instead of going chalky after a few washes. Cotton also breathes, which is the practical reason this works over a bed in May and not just in November — it holds warmth without holding humidity, so you do not wake up throwing it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolded across the foot of the bed\u003c\/strong\u003e — the classic use.
