Buy Throws for Australian Homes
A throw blanket measures 120x150 cm to 150x200 cm, sized to drape over furniture without overwhelming it. Compact 120x150 cm throws suit armchairs and reading chairs. The 130x170 cm size is the most versatile, working on a sofa arm, reading chair or bed end. Larger 150x200 cm throws give full coverage for three-seater sofas and bed foot styling. At 400 to 600 GSM, a quality throw adds real insulation as well as texture. Choose lightweight cotton for Queensland and the Gold Coast, and heavier double-sided knits for Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT. Shopica ships every throw from Sydney with tracked delivery and free 30-day returns.
A throw is a fast way to change how a room looks and feels with a single piece. Drape one over a plain sofa to add colour and texture, or fold one across the foot of a bed to give it a finished, styled look. It adds a different layer of texture to cushions and rugs, and provides everyday protection for upholstery.
All throws in stock. Ships from Sydney the next business day. Free returns within 30 days.

Each style suits different rooms and interiors. Choose by look first, then refine by size and weight.
Luxury Throws
Fine weaves, double-sided construction and elevated trims for a hotel-quality feel. Pair with a table lamp and bedside tables to finish the bedroom.
Black and White Throws
Bold graphic contrast. Chess patterns, geometric stripes and classic checks work in contemporary and Scandinavian-inspired interiors without introducing colour that may date.
Couch Throws
Sized and weighted for daily sofa use. Hold their drape and look intentional even after genuine everyday use. The practical choice for homes with children and pets.
Add a floor lamp and a vase to complete the living room. The throw anchors the sofa, the lamp adds warmth and the vase finishes the surface beside it.
Throw Blanket Sizes: What Makes a Throw Different from a Blanket
A blanket is 150x210 cm or larger, built for overnight warmth on a bed. A throw runs from 120x150 cm to 150x200 cm, sized to drape over sofas, armchairs and bed ends without overwhelming the furniture. At 400 to 600 GSM, a quality throw provides genuine warmth while staying light enough to style well.

Best Throw Blankets for the Australian Climate
The right weight depends on where you live as much as how the throw looks. Match the fabric to the season.
QLD, NT, Gold Coast — Lightweight
Cotton or linen-blend. Breathable texture without added heat. Primarily decorative in warmer climates.
VIC, SA, ACT, TAS — Heavyweight
Heavier knit or double-sided. Substantial enough to wrap around the shoulders in winter. Style alongside candle holders for a warm atmosphere through cooler months.
NSW, WA — Mid-Weight
Mid-weight double-sided. Versatile across Sydney and Perth's shifting seasons. The most practical all-year choice.
Throw Blanket Care and Maintenance Tips
Washing
- Most throws are machine-washable, but always check the care label first.
- Wash on a gentle, cold cycle to preserve colour and texture.
- Air dry where possible to maintain shape and softness.
Everyday Use
- Shake out and re-fold regularly to keep the drape looking intentional.
- A double-sided or higher-GSM throw holds its shape better with daily use.
- Couch throws are a practical layer of protection against pet hair and wear.

WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
