Blanket Ladder

A blanket ladder is a decorative leaning ladder used to drape, display, and store throw blankets, quilts, and textile accessories. Typically resting against a wall at an angle, these ladders serve as both functional storage for frequently used blankets and as a striking visual element that adds vertical interest and warmth to a room. The concept takes the simple form of a ladder and repurposes it as a textile display stand that keeps cozy throws accessible without folding them into a closet. Blanket ladders have become a signature element in modern farmhouse, Scandinavian, and bohemian interiors, offering a relaxed alternative to folded stacks or draped armrests. The open design allows air to circulate around the textiles, keeping them fresh between uses. Most blanket ladders accommodate three to five throws depending on their height and rung spacing. They can also display scarves, towels in a bathroom setting, or even serve as a plant display with hanging pots. The design varies from rough-hewn reclaimed wood for rustic settings to sleek black metal for modern rooms, polished copper or brass for glam interiors, and painted white wood for coastal or cottage aesthetics. The leaning placement means no wall mounting is necessary, making blanket ladders completely non-permanent and easy to reposition.
