"My idea of a perfect cozy night in involves a clean space, my favorite candle lit, my latest reality TV obsession on, and a bowl of my favorite snacks. The glue that holds it all together? A cozy throw blanket draped over me. No matter what, every time I try to chill out and relax, I seem to always scold myself for not having picked up a throw blanket yet. They’re functional and decorative and offer you and your guests a useful resource to turn to if you’re looking to achieve maximum cozy vibes.

Throw blankets are also a great way to quickly change the vibe of your space from season to season. You can welcome in fall with a chunky knitted blanket, ease into winter with sherpa or faux fur, and bring on the spring and summer vibes with a lightweight gauzy throw. You can even opt for more seasonal-leaning patterns like plaids or florals, depending on the time of year. I’m serious when it comes to finding the perfect throw blanket, and I’ve got 48 of the best throw blankets you can snag below.
If coziness is your top priority
If your favorite place to be is curled up on your couch, you’ll need a cozy throw blanket for all your movie nights and watch parties. (It’s almost that time for a Twilight rewatch, after all.) A classic cozy throw blanket could be anything from plush fleece to a unique chunky knit and will always pull together your bedroom or living room.
If you’re all about bold colors and funky prints
A really easy way to incorporate color and patterns into your home without seriously committing to something permanent like a wall color or couch is by opting for a funky throw blanket. I’m not saying to go all out, but try pairing complementary colors together to make this option work. Navy blue couch? Try a hot pink blanket. Lots of neutrals? Go for a fun patterned blanket with a checkerboard print or florals.
If you’re leaning into fall
I’m counting down the days until our first below-60-degree day, but until then, the best I can do to channel fall vibes is by bringing them into my home. Try a blanket with deep earthy tones like terracotta or forest green or a timeless fall pattern like plaid in the same hues. This blanket will look perfect against all your other fall home decor.
If you’re more of a neutral girly
If you’re the type of person who loves a clean and organized space, there’s a high chance you’re a big fan of neutrals. Neutrals are far from boring—especially when they incorporate textures into your home. If you’re a neutral-tone lover, try a blanket with unique details, such as striped patterns, pom-pom accents, or cable knit textures.
If you love a grandmillennial look
The grandmillennial trend is not dying down any time soon. In fact, I have a theory it only gets stronger with fall on the horizon. If you’re all about florals, lace, nostalgia, and a sprinkling of vintage charm, the grandmillennial look is for you. Don’t worry—I’m not suggesting any decades-old scratchy blankets here, just cozy florals and warm knits.
If you want to be cozy but run hot
Loving the throw blanket look, but run hot? I’ve got just the solution for you. Opt for a throw blanket sans faux fur or knitting, and try one made out of lightweight fabrics, like cotton or linen, with a light weave. Whether that’s a waffle-knit or gauzy throw, I promise you can still be comfy while staying cool. You know that blanket that comes tucked away in a hotel bed? It’s kinda like that. (I know, fancy.)
If you’re all about the Nancy Meyers aesthetic
Haven’t you heard? The coastal grandmother aesthetic is a lifestyle, not a trend. Channel your strongest Nancy Meyers vibes with a throw blanket in shades of white, beige, or sky blue. When paired with other seaside-esque furniture, Something’s Gotta Give is practically queueing itself up on your TV.
If you like a splash of personality
Nothing shows off your personality quite like a personalized blanket. Having a throw blanket that shows off a part of you, like your name, initials, zodiac sign, or beloved location, really hones in on the fact that your space is uniquely yours.
If you like a high-quality feel
A little luxury now and then is always a good thing. Why not upgrade your lounging game with a high-end blanket? From a chic weighted blanket to cashmere to 100 percent wool, using a blanket made with quality materials is an easy way to romanticize your life. Be careful because once you experience these high-quality blankets, you won’t want to buy anything else.
