I’m a huge fan of big comfy throw blankets. No living room is complete without a few super soft and cuddly throw blankets. Why a throw blanket you ask? Throw blankets are perfect to have in your living room or family room when you have movie nights or you just find yourself a bit chilly before bed time. You don’t want to go take the big fat comforter off of your bed, so having a few throw blankets available at your fingertips is very practical and necessary!

A gold throw blanket is one of the most popular because gold will match most décor. Whether you have vibrant or mild hues in your living or family room a gold throw blanket won’t clash with your décor. Of course, you can pick from different shades of gold as well, but in general a gold throw blanket is a safe, sophisticated and classic choice.

Another thing to look out for when purchasing a throw blanket is the material. There are many throw blankets that seem to be made just for décor, and the material is really uncomfortable. If that’s all you’re looking for then it doesn’t matter! But most likely you will want to actually use your throw blanket. So I recommend looking for softer materials like cotton whenever possible.

Something to really get excited about for your living or family room are heated cotton throws. This is such a great idea, especially if you are trying to avoid turning on the heater this winter so that your heating bill isn’t through the roof. A heated cotton throw, is your basic throw blanket with a warming system and heating controls built in. This throw blanket will keep you warm and look stylish draped over the arm of your living room sofa.
