I know you’ve seen it. That random throw blanket that is just so perfectly tossed at the end of a bed, hanging off the arm of a couch, or draping over the back of a chair in every Instagram influencer's home. Don’t get it twisted: That chic, messy touch is less of an accident and more of an intentional home decor choice—and I, 1,000 percent, need one.
When it comes to shopping for the best throw blanket out there—well, there’s lots to look at. Thankfully, I have the will and stamina to do the research so you won’t have to. I’ve gone ahead and found all the worthy options—from a pretty, under-$20 throw that’s still worthy of the ‘Gram to a super soft organic cotton blanket that’s ultimate nap-time goals. Shop them all, below.

This pink tiger throw is totally fun. If you have a ton of funky decor, it'll fit right in, or if you have a more understated look, this is the perfect statement accessory. (I also may or may not have bought it the moment I saw it.)
Reading chair, meet this adorable Jungalow throw. The Greek Key motif is so subtle, and we love that the color is *just* neutral enough to match any/all of your existing decor.
If you want your guests to think a rich bitch lives in your home, nothing says bougie quite like a luxe faux-fur throw. Just, like, don't drink red wine near it, okay?

This one just screams cuddles. I have searched forever for one of these chunky and ~heavenly~ knit throws that Does. Not. Shed. And finally, here it is.
Some reviewers claim that the blanket doesn't wash well
Not only does UGG make super comfy boots, but they also make blankets that offer the same guarantee. So soft, so cuddly, and so pretty, this white blanket is the perf home accessory.
You don't have to spend a fortune to get that perfectly messy and undone ~vibe~. This mint herringbone print from Amazon is less than twenty bucks and is totally chic.
If you tend to run cold (ahem, me!) a heated blanket will change your life. Just plug it in and feel your body get all warm and fuzzy on the inside, while literally being warm and fuzzy.
