Plaid size: a key criterion

  • Plaid size is an essential criterion for ensuring coverage your sofa and achieve the desired aesthetic effect. A plaid that's too small may not cover your sofa sufficiently, while one that's too big may look bulky.

  • Throw for two-seater sofa

    For a two-seater sofa, a plaid between 130 cm x 160 cm and 150 cm x 200 cm is generally sufficient. This size covers both seat and back, offering complete protection while adding a harmonious decorative touch.

  • Throw for sofa seating three or more

    For larger sofas, opt for a large throw measuring between 180 cm x 220 cm and 200 cm x 240 cm. These generous dimensions ensure total coverage, including the armrests, and create an elegant draped effect. A large plaid can also be used as a sofa throw, adding an extra layer of comfort and style.
