Hey, Amy here,

You know that one chair in your living room that’s basically become a blanket mountain? Like, it started as “I’ll just drape this one here,” and suddenly you have a fully insulated furniture Fort Knox? Yeah. Same. 😂

And listen - I love a cozy home as much as the next Ohioan gearing up for the winter vortex, but there’s a fine line between thoughtful layers and oops, I live inside a textile avalanche.

Which is exactly why today’s hack feels like wizardry.

You can go wild with this. Use anything from the cheapest hooks to a fancy towel bar… and boom. It looks intentional, artsy, curated, and takes literally five minutes.

Let me prove it to you.

1. Pick your wall spot.
Above a couch, between two windows, on a blank hallway wall, even in a bedroom - anywhere you’d hang art, you can hang blankets.

2. Install 2–3 hooks or a simple towel/blanket rod.

This does not have to be a perfection project. Think more “get it on the wall so your house looks like you have your life together” energy.

And if you’re feeling ambitious, feel free to scroll Etsy to your heart’s content to find the perfect fixture. (I’m obsessed with this one.) You do you, babe.

3. Fold your blanket neatly and hang it like a textile.

Think of it like you’re at the world’s coziest art gallery. Rich textures, chunky knits, fringed edges - it’s instant visual warmth.

Pro tip: use a blanket with a little pattern or a gorgeous weave so it feels like “textiles as art,” not “I didn’t know where to put this, sorry.”

4. Step back. Admire. Post to Pinterest. Bask in newfound domestic mastery.

I’ve honestly always struggled with where to put my blankets. 😂 I’m usually cold, I love home decor, and I always want to feel cozy, therefore I have blankets on practically every surface of my home. Just ask my husband. 😅

So if you’re like me and you need even more ways to wrangle your blanket collection, this roundup is full of clever ideas I’m obsessed with:

Jared Lees is a native Northeast Ohio bladesmith who handcrafts knives that look like they belong in a fantasy novel and a Michelin kitchen. Every piece is forged, shaped, and finished by hand - a mix of steel, wood, and artistry that feels more like functional sculpture than anything you’d find in a store. His work ranges from chef’s knives to custom commissions, each one balanced, striking, and unmistakably his.

Jared’s work is one of those rare combinations of craftsmanship and soul - the kind of pieces that make you stop and say, “Wait… someone local made this?” He brings a musician’s nuance, an artist’s eye, and a maker’s discipline to every blade, proving once again that Northeast Ohio is packed with creative people quietly doing extraordinary things. Whether you cook every night or just like beautiful objects, his knives are the kind you keep forever.

And I’m proud to say Jared’s not just wildly talented - he’s genuinely a good human. My husband used to play in a band with him, and it’s one of those reminders of how many incredible makers are tucked right into our everyday lives. 💛
