Which blanket should I choose for winter?

When the cold weather sets in, nothing beats a good throw blanket to transform your home into a cozy haven. But not all throw blankets are created equal. Materials, sizes, style... here's how to choose the perfect throw blanket for winter, without making a mistake.

1. Focus on warm materials

To face winter, opt for naturally insulating materials:

  • Wool : authentic, warm, breathable.
  • Fleece : ultra-soft, lightweight, easy to care for.
  • Sherpa or faux fur : guaranteed cocoon effect.

2. Choose the right size

For a sofa: choose a generous size (130x170 cm or more) so you can snuggle up in it.
For a bed: opt for an XXL size, like a blanket, to layer over your duvet.

3. Dare to use textures and warm colors

Winter is the perfect season to play with fluffy textures and enveloping colors:

  • Beige, caramel, terracotta for a natural ambiance.
  • Midnight blue, forest green, anthracite grey for a chic touch.
  • Tartan or chevron patterns for a cozy chalet vibe.

4. Easy to maintain

In winter, your throw will be used daily. Choose a machine-washable model for added convenience, especially if you have pets or children.
