Guest Picks: Cozy Throw Blankets for Fall
Fall has finally arrived! By far, fall is my most favorite season of the year: It ushers in all things cozy and warm in my home. I am a serial throw blanket collector, so as soon as I feel a chill in the air, I pull out my many blankets and curl up with them as much as possible.
A throw blanket is so incredibly versatile in a room: It can add color, pattern, dimension and function. I love adding a solid throw blanket in a hue that contrasts with the entire room to draw in the eye. Or one that has a great graphic pattern in a spot that otherwise would be quite bland with neutral furniture. Plus, throws, like pillows, can be swapped out, put away and moved around from room to room, so you tend to get a lot of bang for your buck.

Highgate Manor All-Season Animal Throw - $19.95
I could not put together a collection of throw blankets without having some animal print represented.

The leopard and giraffe options would work well in a neutral space that needs a bit of dimension.

And another striped throw — and this one is my favorite. The dusty blue color is killer, and I love the simplicity of this style. It's another wonderful nautical option if you are decorating with a coastal flair.

I've always loved the little red bird sitting in the trees on this throw. Also made by the ecofriendly In2Green, it's a great heavy knit that is incredibly soft. The pattern has just the right touch of modern, but the scene depicted keeps it feeling cozy.
