You don't need to change your sofa to try a new look in the living room. A throw can introduce a pattern, highlight one end of the seat, or be kept handy for a moment of relaxation. The important thing is that its placement still works when you're sitting down, not just when you're tidying the room.

For these three proposals, we used the Design 1 Black/White Throw 150 × 180 cm, available at SIMSA Shop Colombia, as a reference. These are layout ideas: try each one with your sofa's dimensions and keep the one you find most practical.

1. A folded strip over the armrest

Fold the throw lengthwise to form a strip and place it over one of the sofa's armrests. Adjust the width so the pattern is visible without taking up the entire seat. This option allows you to add contrast to a solid-colored sofa while keeping the rest of the ensemble uncluttered.

Check that the end doesn't drag on the floor or get in the way of foot traffic. If the armrest is narrow or the fabric slips easily, change the position instead of securing it with heavy objects.

2. A wide fold over the backrest

If you want to show more of the pattern, spread it partially over a section of the backrest. Choose an area that won't interfere with where you rest your head and gather the excess towards the seat. You don't need to cover the whole piece of furniture: a small surface area can be enough to showcase the texture.

In a living room with several patterns, try removing an accessory before adding others. Look at the ensemble from the entrance and then sit down: the composition should be comfortable to use, as well as visually balanced.

3. Folded and ready to use

Another alternative is to leave it folded at one end of the sofa, rather than spreading it out as a cover. This way, you can easily grab it and put it away again. If that seat is used frequently, look for a clean spot nearby to place it while someone is sitting.

This arrangement is useful when you prefer the pattern to be a discreet detail. It also makes it easier to check the fringe and arrange it without it getting caught under other objects.

What to check for this reference

The product sheet indicates 60% cotton, 30% polyester, and 10% rayon, a hand-woven construction, and dimensions of 150 × 180 cm. Therefore, it is a fiber blend, not pure cotton. Confirm your sofa's dimensions before deciding how much you want to cover.

On October 12, 2026, the Colombian store listed this throw at $70,000 COP, with the add-to-cart option enabled. It indicated taxes were included and shipping was calculated at checkout. Price and availability may change; check the reference and conditions for your address before paying.

Care for the fabric and fringe

For this throw, the product sheet recommends machine washing on a delicate cycle with cold water or hand washing, using a mild detergent without bleach or harsh chemicals. It indicates drying flat or in the shade, and gentle hand washing for the fringe. Also, consult the garment's label before washing.

Start by trying a single placement for a few days. The best way to dress up your sofa is one that fits your habits and allows you to enjoy the textile without having to reorganize the entire room.
