A quality throw is a timeless staple, a quintessential part of a cozy evening, and an affordable way to dress up any room. A vibrant hue, a surprising motif, or a tactile knit can add visual interest to any space, especially when paired with a throw pillow or two. Not to mention, blankets are so low maintenance—is there any other accessory that looks best when carelessly tossed around?

Whether you're hoping to cultivate some Danish hygge at home or you're looking for a statement piece to dress up white bedding, your perfect pick is out there—and no matter which direction you go in, it'll look stylish in your space.

Here, the best decorative blankets for your bed.

Coyuchi Pismo Organic Blanket

The Pismo Organic Blanket from Coyuchi is a modern update to traditional matelassé. The geometric print in beachy pastels is bordered by eyelash fringe that's guaranteed to add subtle charm and lightness to your space. Even better? The quality goes beyond aesthetics—Coyuchi's cotton is GOTS-certified organic, and is stone-washed for optimal softness and delicacy. This airy, mid-weight blanket is ideal for warmer weather.

Kimbie Throw

Featuring playful nudes and lush, patterned tropical flora, the Kimbie Throw from Slowdown Studio evokes warmer, carefree days. This is one throw blanket you won't want to drape loosely over the couch—displayed like a tapestry, this design by Uruguayan artist Maite García is a real piece of art. Made in the U.S. with recycled cotton and other organic materials, this throw is both stylish and sustainable.

Cozi Throw

For something a bit more lightweight, check out the aptly-named Cozi Throw from Johanna Howard. Made of a cotton-wool blend, this gauzy throw is surprisingly warm and can easily be used all year long. It comes in 10 colors and is reversible, so you're basically getting two throws in one. The lighter weight makes it ideal for draping over your bed, but you could just as easily keep it on your sofa or ottoman.

Roberts Cotton Throw

For a more playful look, consider the Roberts Cotton Throw from Kelly Clarkson's Wayfair line. This woven blanket features detailed embroidery, pompoms, and floral embellishments that'll add instant style wherever it's placed. Available in two colors (pink and cream), this throw was designed with a French country vibe in mind, but would work well with other design styles, too.

Lisa Says Gah Heidi Throw Blanket

If you want a blanket that doubles as a work of art, don't miss the checkered Heidi Throw Blanket from Lisa Says Gah. Designed in collaboration with Swedish artist KJP, the throw features a daisy check-print design in black and white. It's a bit of a splurge, but given its neutral color scheme and high quality construction, you're sure to have it in your home for years to come.

Superstitchous Pomegranate Throw

This vibrant throw patterned with pomegranates is sure to add a pop of color and whimsy to any room. And while the design might bring to mind warmer seasons, it's actually thick enough to satisfy on the coldest winter days, thanks to the eco-friendly upcycled yarn construction. It comes in two sizes, so you decide—statement or snug?

Z Gallerie Chinchilla Throw

Nothing complements a steaming cup of tea and a Netflix binge quite like a luxurious faux-fur blanket, especially one that's both warm and weighted—a two-pronged defense against cold and stress! The substantial and sumptuous Chinchilla Throw from Z Gallerie will complete your hibernation checklist and lend sophistication to your space. Bonus points: no shedding.

Trek Light Gear Horizon Blanket

If you want a versatile blanket you can take anywhere, this mid-weight blanket from Trek Light Gear can outfit any set-up, from your apartment to a music festival to your beach chair. It's larger than your average throw or picnic blanket (78 x 49 inches), so you can easily cuddle up no matter the occasion.

The vintage-inspired designs appeal to both the whimsical eccentric and the modern minimalist, while Trek Light Gear's production process will satisfy the sustainably-minded. The brand's blankets are crafted with repurposed and recycled clothing on pedal looms by indigenous artisans in Mexico.

Sky Leopard Blanket

Cold Picnic is well-known for their contemporary, abstract textiles, and the Leopard Knit Blanket is no exception. It's the blanket version of their popular Leopard Rug, and is made from a mix of OKEO-TEX certified recycled cotton and polyester yarn. There are two sizes to choose from (30 x 40 inches and 50 x 60 inches), as well as two other colors, although we recommend the sky blue option for a little extra contrast.

Merino Wool Blanket

After you embrace the outdoor chill for some friluftsliv —the Nordic term for outdoor recreation—you'll need an extremely cozy blanket for some indoor hygge. Nothing promises comfort and warmth quite like an oversized chunky knit blanket fashioned from merino wool, and this one also happens to be totally customizable.

It comes in more than 30 sizes and 15 colors, including sizes specifically for sitting at the foot of your bed, so you have plenty of flexibility in choosing the right cozy factor for you.

Vanessa Throw Blanket

This wild, whimsical, and vibrant print from Anthropologie ensures you'll make a bold statement with your décor. Available in four motifs (neutral with lions, blue with citrus fruits, ochre with sun rays, and teal with cheetahs), you get to choose the very specific vibe you want for your space. And if you have white bedding, any of the designs are sure to add a little playfulness to your bedscape.

Sferra Terzo Bed End

If you're vying for an understated, sophisticated accent, opt for the brushed-cotton classic basket weave of the Terzo Bed End from Sferra. Available in navy, ocean, sea-green, and tin, this accent piece evokes subtle luxury. And if you're looking for a more refined, bespoke piece (a great gift!), Sferra offers Italian satin-stitch monogramming as well.

Abstract Throw Hunter Green

Yes, it's on the very high end, but MINNA's Abstract Throw is a real showstopper. Made with cozy merino wool and complete with hand felted abstract shapes, this throw is the perfect finishing touch to your bed. It comes in three colors (hunter green, white/indigo, and pink/oat), each of which have their own distinct vibe while still remaining neutral, and is complete with playful fringe. Plus, this blanket is ethically made by a women's cooperative in Uruguay.

Stripe Throw

Looking for something really fun? Try Dusen Dusen's Stripe Throw, which is made from 100 percent cotton and features multi-colored stripes with a bold black-and-white border. This blanket is a real statement piece, and it's guaranteed to add a healthy dose of fun to white bedding—or you can pair it with equally colorful linens for a truly eclectic vibe.

Blue Throw Blanket

Vibrant and beautiful, this blue throw blanket from Jungalow is the perfect piece to layer with white or gray bedding. It's handwoven of 100 percent cotton and features textured stitching throughout, plus cream tassels for a little extra fun. This is a great choice if you want to amp up the contrast, or if you want to implement some pattern and detailing without going overboard.

Catalina Boucle Throw

Shearling and bouclé are really having a moment right now, but this cozy throw from The Citizenry is timeless. Made from a super soft, extra thick blend of alpaca and wool, it's the perfect thing to snuggle up with on cold nights. It's expensive, but the quality is outstanding—each blanket is handwoven by master weavers in Peru, and takes about one week to complete. If you really want to embrace the coziness, get it in the extra-large size and keep it draped over your entire bed while you sleep.
