Review of Ikea Irma Throw I must admit that I have never set foot in a branch of Ikea; our nearest branch is a good hour's drive away at Thurrock Lakeside in Essex. My married daughter is a huge Ikea fan and often picks me up odds and ends such as these throws on her regular sorties to the store. The throws have been obtained on one of her shopping trips. **The Throw** I use throws a great deal in my home and my camper van. I find these are a practical and simple way to protect my soft furnishings from the ravages of dogs and children, as well as being pretty, warm and easy care.

When me and my boyfriend moved into our first home together earlier in the year, one of the first places that we decided to look in for furniture etc was Ikea. These throws were one of our many Ikea purchases and I've been really pleased with the two that we bought - considering how cheap they were they're incredibly good quality and durable. We bought two of these - one for each of our sofa's. We bought them mainly to protect the leather from our dogs' claws and to keep the sofa's clean, but also because I find that the leather can be quite cold when I first sit down so the throw solves this problem. The throws are a complete bargain at £1.69 each and they ...  Read the complete review

I have half a dozen of these Irma Ikea throws. I use them outdoors as fleecy blankets in the summer time. We can continue to sit outside in the evenings, even if it cools down, by just wrappping yourself in one of these. I have half a dozen so that we have enough for guests as well. I chose these because they were cheap! I wanted cheap throws to use outdoors as I didn't want to spend an awfull lot as they are likely to get ruined. When I saw these in Ikea at just over a pound each I grabbed them. They currently retail for £1.59 each, I'm sure that last summer I only paid around £1.30 each, but even so £1.59 each is hardly expensive. The Irma throw is just ...  Read the complete review

One thing that I buy and therefore own alot of is throws. I like them to pop over me in bed when I get a bit chilly, have a few in my living room for the same reason, even have one of a chair to help keep it clean! Most of mine come from Asda and Primark but when I saw this one in Ikea the other day costing only £1.01 (yes you did read that right) and I simply had to buy it as it seemed a good deal to me as it looked nice and felt soft to the touch. The Throw itself: I am only aware that this comes in one colour which is the one I actually have wrapped partially around me right now as I type this review and it is a light baby blue colour. It is made ...  Read the complete review

For the past few weeks I have been moving our bedrooms around and sprucing them up before our baby arrives. The room that will now be his little bedroom used to have a cream colour scheme, we have kept a bit of this but added 2 blue walls and some teddy bear wall stickers. We have kept the single bed in this room as well as the cot and I wanted to make the bedding blend in with something like a throw, it couldn't be too girly after all its going to be a little boys room so I was looking for something plain. It was actually my mum that turned up with a bag from Ikea containing 2 of their Irma throws in an ideal pale blue colour, they were just what I needed. ...  Read the complete review
