Fake fur

A faux fur throw does more than just keep you warm: it changes the visual texture of a room the moment you place it on a sofa or across a bed. At Sylvie Thiriez, this material holds a unique place in home linen collections, sitting between the solid throw that structures and the patterned throw that plays with motifs. Here, it is the volume and relief of the material that do the work, without needing prints or strong colors to capture attention.

Faux fur brings a relief that flat weaving cannot provide

Placing a faux fur throw on a sofa immediately changes how a room is perceived: light catches the fibers differently depending on the angle, and the volume of the textile occupies space in a way that a thin cotton throw never achieves. This visual thickness helps slightly too smooth interiors, where furniture lines benefit from being softened by a denser material.

In a bedroom, the same throw unfolded at the foot of the bed adds an extra layer to the existing set without competing with it, since texture rather than color carries the attention. It is this ability to transform a room through touch as much as through visual appeal that sets faux fur apart from other materials in the range.

Choosing the format depends on actual home use

A throw intended to dress a double bed requires sufficient width to cover the mattress and drape cleanly down the sides—a detail that changes everything in the final rendering once placed on a Sylvie Thiriez set. For a more nomadic use, between the living room sofa and an office armchair, a more compact format is preferable: easier to fold, easier to carry from room to room according to the day's needs.

Light shades open up the room, deep shades close it in

For a Scandinavian or streamlined decor, light and natural tones capture light better and keep the room looking airy. Conversely, a reading nook or a bedroom seeking a more cozy atmosphere benefits from deep shades, giving the throw a more assertive presence in the space.

Material superpositions bring relief to the ensemble

Combining a faux fur throw with cotton or linen cushions creates a contrast of textures that avoids an overly uniform effect. This interplay of materials, rather than colors, remains a simple way to evolve a room without changing everything.

The Hauts-de-France workshop and selected partners share manufacturing

Solid 57-thread count cotton and cotton percale models, as well as custom-made creations, come out of the Sylvie Thiriez workshop located in Hauts-de-France, where seamstresses ensure precise finishes on each piece, notably for personalized embroidery. Faux fur throws, which require specific weaving techniques, are crafted with long-standing selected partners chosen for the regularity of their craftsmanship rather than production volumes.

This organization makes it possible to maintain the same high standard of finishing, whether a piece comes from the French workshop or an external partner. Care instructions provided with each model aim to preserve the loft of the material wash after wash, a point that particularly matters for a fiber designed to remain plush over time.

Boutiques and the website allow comparing materials before choosing

The faux fur throw collection can be found in Sylvie Thiriez boutiques, at multi-brand partners in France and abroad, and on the website. In stores, sales advisors help compare the feel and volume of different models—a real asset for a material where a photo is not always enough to make a decision.

For online orders, Click & Collect store pickup remains available, with free returns within 30 days in case of doubt regarding the chosen shade or thickness. An interest-free installment payment solution can also facilitate a broader decorating project, throw included.
