We love cuddling up under a luxe blanket with a good book and a cup of tea, which means that warm throw blankets are a must-have for winter. To prepare you for the coming colder months, we have put together a list of our favourite plush winter blankets. In addition to being warm and cuddly, they can also be a trendy decor accessory for your lounge or bedroom.
Go for grey
Grey is the neutral to use at the moment, and we love this modern knit patchwork design from Mr. Price Home. This chunky blanket will add a luxurious layer of softness to your bed or couch, with a luxurious finish and comforting Sherpa reverse. A real winter treat.

Add a little shimmer
Metallics are still really popular and we love how these shimmering blankets looks against a plush headboard. You can create interesting textures on your bed by combining plush velvet with a chunky blanket or a quilt. It’s a simple but effective on-trend look. These Volpes blankets come in a range of accent colours, perfect for bringing bright colours to dreary winter days.

Winter warmer
For the ultimate in warmth and coziness, opt for a longpile blanket from Mr. Price Home in several gorgeous tones that will suit any home. One of these fluffy beauties is just what you need for a lazy Sunday on the couch.

Love local
For conscious quality, choose local. The Barrydale Hand Weavers created thoughtfully designed and ethically woven goods that will look just as good rolled up as a stylish accent in the lounge as it will draped over the bed. The fluffy cotton is all locally grown and makes for an ultra-luxurious cuddle buddy.
