6 Ideas to Style a Blanket Ladder

There are a lot of different ways to style a blanket ladder for your space. So the first step in selecting your ladder is to consider the overall aesthetic you want to achieve. Are you hoping for a boho-chic theme? What about modern or farmhouse?

The specific style you want will change the type of ladder you buy. For a modern look I recommend opting for a sleek metal ladder with clean lines. If you prefer a more rustic feel, a wooden blanket ladder with distressed details is a great way to make your home feel extra cozy.

Think about the size of your room and how the ladder will fit in with your existing furniture and decor elements. Putting your ladder in a living room may provide you with more placement options, as opposed to a guest room or bedroom. By choosing the right blanket ladder, your display can instantly elevate the look of your room.

Creating a Focal Point with Your Blanket Ladder

To create a focal point with your own blanket ladder, consider incorporating decorative elements such as:

framed artwork
family picture frames
candles
plants
a vase with faux branches or flowers
floor lamp or table lamp

This blanket ladder decor can enhance the overall aesthetic of your space. These additional touches can help draw the eye towards the ladder and create a visually appealing focal point in the room. By strategically placing these items around the ladder, you can easily transform it into a statement piece that adds both style and functionality to your decor.

Layering Throw Blankets

Layering throw blankets on your decorative ladder can add depth and texture to your display, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A ladder is a convenient place to store blankets if you don't have any other storage space for extra blankets. I love that it is both a functional and decorative option.

Choose throw blankets in different colors, patterns, and textures to create a layered look that adds visual interest. For a family room or bedroom, a chunky knit blanket may be a good option if you want cozy throws. For a formal living room, perhaps a tasseled linen throw is a better choice.

As you drape each throw blanket over the ladder rungs, play with different folding and arranging techniques to achieve a stylish and effortless look. These layers not only add warmth to your space but also showcase your personal style and design aesthetic.

By incorporating various throw blankets on your ladder, you can easily switch up the look and feel of your display to suit different seasons or moods for the time of year. And as you experiment with different combinations and placements, you'll discover the endless possibilities of using throw blankets to elevate your styling on a blank wall.

Incorporating a Wooden Blanket Ladder

Incorporating a wood ladder is a great option if you want something that adheres to a more natural or rustic vibe. A rustic wooden ladder is a great decor style choice for introducing a farmhouse element to your home decorating. Plus, there is a finishing touch of natural charm that is to die for. A light, natural wood ladder may be just the thing to complement a boho theme or minimalistic eye-catching display.

Wood tones provide a sense of warmth and comfort that can easily make any room more cozy and stylish. Choosing a wooden ladder creates a beautiful addition to many decorating styles.

Styling in Different Rooms

Consider styling your blanket ladder in various rooms throughout your home to maximize visual impact and practical use. In the living room, drape cozy blankets over the rungs of the ladder to create an inviting atmosphere for lounging or entertaining guests. Drape blankets or towels in your master bathroom like I did.

In the bedroom, hang your favorite quilts or throws for easy access on chilly nights. You can even utilize a blanket ladder in a home office or reading nook. This is my favorite way to add a decorative touch while keeping blankets within reach for extra comfort. By incorporating your ladder in different rooms, you can showcase its versatility and enhance the overall appeal of your space.

Adding Decorative Touches

Adding decorative touches like coordinating throw pillows or accent pieces, can further elevate the style of your blanket ladder display. Incorporate complementary colors or textures to enhance the overall visual design. When you select items that resonate with your personal style and existing decor, you can easily create a cohesive look.

I added a green wreath to the ladder in my living room. The touch of green brings a little bit of nature indoors. And the wreath in general, makes my home feel more welcoming. If you don't love hanging a wreath on your ladder, try placing a plant next to it for a similar effect.

Here are a few decorative items that pair well with a ladder design:

Experiment with different arrangements and combinations to find what works best for your home. With the right decorative touches, your blanket ladder can become a stunning focal point that adds both cozy ambiance and charm to any room.

Experiment with different styles and textures to make your setup uniquely yours.
