The Danish word ‘hygge’ doesn’t have a direct translation in English, but describes that uniquely Scandinavian feeling of coziness and comfort, even when you’ve got less than 10 hours of daylight. To achieve those cool and cozy vibes at home, you can invest in candles, chic loungewear, and a few throw blankets soft enough to feel like a hug.
Excellent throws come in a wide range of materials, textures, and warmness levels. Find some of our favorites below.

This blanket is made from a unique, faux-fur material. It’s 100 percent microfiber and made with a distinct texture and fabric on each side: one that’s mind-meltingly soft and fluffy and another that’s smoother. It’s great for kids and for adding coziness to any room. You can choose a size large enough to fit up to a king-size bed. Though it doesn’t seem like it, the blanket is also machine washable.
