The darker nights and cooler days are very much upon us so it's time to hunker down and reach for the blankets. There's no better feeling than snuggling up with a good book or new Netflix series and the perfect blanket is not only functional, it can add texture or a pop of colour to a space - it can also be one of the most inexpensive and versatile ways to transition your décor for autumn.
Around this time of year, I personally tend to disappear under a mountain of blankets only to emerge when the weather changes in spring and in our house, we have enough blankets and throws to cater for a small army... much to the delight of Mr P, he just loves fighting his way to bed via an obstacle course of soft furnishings!
So, with the autumn/winter collections now hitting the shops, I've picked ten of my favourite super stylish blankets that will help you stay as toasty as a marshmallow...
No. 01 | Tom Lane Coverdale Throw
If you want a fabulous quality blanket and to support a small independent business at the same time then look no further than Tom Lane. We have three of their blankets in our home and they really are the perfect snuggle partner. Made from 100% British wool and available in a wide range of colours and sizes, Tom Lane blankets are a staple so if you buy one this season... make it one of these!

No. 02 | White Company Radnor Throw
A little on the pricey side for a throw but the perfect neutral which will take you from curled up comfort on the sofa to cocooned cosiness in bed. Made from pure new wool, the White Company Radnor throw has a herringbone weave, a classic stripe and twisted fringes... timeless and versatile.

No. 04 | The Secret Linen Store Vivienne Quilted Throw
Ok Secret Linen Store, take my money... a soft laundered feel, delicious faded olive chambray, classic stripes - it's a yes from me! This gorgeous reversible quilted blanket from Secret Linen Store has it all. Made in Portugal from 100% cotton, the dreamy Vivienne blanket is available in five colours and is firmly on my wish list. It's a little bit of an investment piece but... well, just look at it!

No. 05 | Marquis & Dawe Olive Checked Blanket
Another classic... neutral beige with olive green checks and made from 100% British pure new wool. This extra large cosy blanket from Marquis & Dawe is perfect for layering your bed or wrapping up on the sofa during the cooler months. It's timeless design and hardwearing yarn means you'll be digging it out of the cupboard year after year!

No. 06 | Zara Printed Quilted Blanket
If you've read my Autumn Trends feature, you'll know that pattern is big this season and Zara is nailing the brief with this Indian botanical print blanket. It's another pricey one but is quilted so much more substantial than a regular throw... it comes in a jewel like green/blue with an earthy brown reverse and has a matching cushion so you can complete the look. Love it!

No. 07 | H&M Wool Blend Blanket
H&M Home is coming up with the goods yet again! This wool blend blanket comes in seven different colours and would make the perfect understated addition to any space. Chuck it over the end of the sofa, fold it and pop in a basket, fling it across the end of your bed... easy, versatile and budget friendly. Job done.

No. 08 | White Company Super Soft Faux Fur Throw
There's faux fur and then there's faux fur! Having owned one of these blankets from The White Company, I can tell you with some authority that this faux fur is next level luxurious. These blankets are somewhat of an investment (my tip is to sign up to their newsletter through which you can regularly get a reasonable discount) but my goodness, it's the plushest faux fur you'll ever have the pleasure of wrapping yourself in!

No. 09 | Piglet in Bed Gingham Wool Blanket
If you follow my Instagram account, @thepavlouhome, you'll know that I'm a tiny bit obsessed with gingham so this beauty from Piglet in Bed was bound to catch my eye. Made in Yorkshire from pure merino wool, this classic gingham blanket is absolutely on trend combining golden oche with a pale dusty pink... perfect for meeting this season's colour palette brief. It's also available in blue and green - wrap 'em up, I'll take one of each!

No. 10 | Dusk Faux Mohair Throw
If you're looking for a super soft and snuggly, budget friendly staple then look no further than Dusk's faux mohair throw. Available in light grey, natural and off white, this is genuinely the most luxurious and softest blanket you'll find for just £20 (I know because I own one!).
