These blankets are perfect for a cosy winter evening

Embrace the nip in the air with these seasonally-approved throws

A throw blanket is the ideal home accessory for snuggling on the couch or adding comfort to your bed. These cosy additions also serve as stylish decorative accents, adding warmth, texture and colour to your bedroom or living room. 

When selecting a throw blanket, consider materials like cashmere, Merino, faux fur or linen to match your desired texture and weight. If you run extra cold, consider an electric heated throw, a portable alternative to an electric blanket.  

How do you display a throw blanket?

A throw blanket is a chic way to enhance the aesthetics of your space. Showcase your throw by casually draping it over the arm or back of your sofa for an effortlessly stylish look. 

You can even fold the throw longways and place it at the end of your bed or layer it with other blankets and cushions for added texture and depth. 

Is wool the warmest blanket material?

Wool, particularly Merino, is one of the warmest blanket materials. Its natural fibres provide excellent insulation, keeping you warm and cosy during cold winter nights. Additionally, merino wool is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking, ensuring a comfortable sleep experience.
