Get cozy and cuddle up. We’ve pulled together a dozen of our favorite blankets.

Your Home Needs a Blanket That’s Cozy and Cool

Now’s the time for curling up on the couch and getting cozy as hell—and the key to that comfort is a good throw blanket. Unlike the oversized quilt or duvet on your bed, a throw blanket is specifically designed to wrap around your body. They easily sling over your shoulder like a superhero's cape for a walk to the kitchen (or to let the dog out) and cocoon your body when you're kicking back, watching a movie (or the fireplace).

What's more, these cuddle-inviting covers also look sharp when slung over the back of a chair or the arm of sofa while adding some much needed warmth and texture to a room. These blankets come in a wide range of colors, textures and patterns, so they instantly upgrade a boring piece of furniture and inject a shot of luxury and whimsy to a room. As for which style suits your taste, you'll need to browse below and see what speaks to you and your needs. Do you want a thick, wooly heirloom blanket? Maybe something that feels like draping a cashmere sweater over your shoulders? Perhaps you want to wild out with a funky, textural throw that instantly starts a conversation when guests come over for game night. The Valet. team pulled together our favorites, in a range of colors, fabrications and prices. Take a look, grab the one that works for you and prepare to get toasty.
