Is 130 × 160 cm the right size for what I have in mind?

There is one size here, so the only question is whether it suits the job. 130 × 160 cm is throw dimensions, not bed dimensions — it is made to be seen as much as used.

Choose it for	If this sounds like you
An armchair or the arm of a sofa	You want the pattern visible rather than buried. At this size it hangs and reads as artwork on the chair.
One person, sitting	You want a lap and shoulders throw for reading or television, not something two people share.
Across the foot of a bed	You want a band of colour at the end of a plain duvet, not a full second cover.

If you want something that covers two people lying down, this is not that blanket — it is a chair-sized piece.

Will a bold print like this survive washing without going muddy?

Printed throws lose their punch in two ways: heat and sunlight. A Matisse-style design lives entirely on the contrast between flat blocks of colour, so anything that dulls one block dulls the whole thing.

Works on	Avoid
Cool gentle machine wash, turned inside out	Hot water and hot tumble drying
Drying in shade or indoors	Drying in direct sun, which flattens strong colour faster than washing does
Spot cleaning with plain water and a soft cloth	Bleach and any stain remover that lifts colour

The step people skip: if it lives on a chair by a window, turn it around every few weeks. Otherwise one half fades and the other doesn't, and that is far more obvious than even fading across the whole piece.

A blanket that does the job of a picture on the wall.

Most rooms have a chair that is fine and boring. Right colour, right shape, nothing happening. The usual fix is a cushion, which reads as filler, or a plain throw, which reads as nothing at all. A throw carrying a Matisse-style cut-out design does something a plain one cannot: it puts a graphic on the chair. When it is folded over the arm you get a slice of it. When it is spread out you get the whole composition. Either way the chair has stopped being furniture and started being the thing you look at.

Why the flat-colour style is harder to print than it looks

Matisse's late cut-out work has no shading and no gradient. It is shapes in solid colour against a solid ground, which means the eye goes straight to the edge where two colours meet. On a woven throw that edge is the hardest thing to get right — any bleed between the blocks and the whole design goes soft and looks like a photocopy of itself. A print that holds a clean boundary between the shapes is what separates a piece that reads as intentional from one that reads as a poster gone through the wash. That is also why this works best where you can see it whole rather than crumpled: the design is doing the work, so give it a surface to sit on.

130 × 160 cm — the single size. Wide enough to spread across an armchair with the design legible, long enough to reach from your shoulders to your feet when you are sitting, and short enough that it never puddles on the floor. If you are choosing where to put it, an armchair by a lamp is where it earns its keep.
