Choose a pleated or draped look.
Susan Davis Taylor of Davis Taylor Design points out that the blanket can be folded in a number of ways. Ultimately, the method you choose should depend on where you want to place your work. For example, you can decorate the armrests of a sofa by folding neatly over the armrests and under any pillows, Davis-Taylor says. "If the edge of the quilt has a fringe or interesting pattern, make sure it's visible to add some sparkle," she adds. Smith shares this clean, modern look. "For a more casual, cozy vibe, put a blanket in the corner of the sofa and a few pillows next to it," he says. For an ultra-clean aesthetic, Davis Taylor recommends folding the quilt in thirds lengthwise and placing it on a corner bench with a pillow on top.
Consider the size and style of the sofa.

"For a full-size sofa, fold the blanket in half behind the sofa and tuck it behind the pillows," advises Anastasia Casey of Identitè Collective. "If you have a sectional sofa with a recliner, fold the quilt in half and place it under the recliner."
