The Best Faux Fur Throw Blankets for Styling This Winter
Faux fur throws are one of my favorite things to style this time of year… although in our house, they’re a year round staple. Emmett & I were constantly grabbing for the same weighted blanket- the “good” throw. You know every house has one! After a few years of reluctantly passing the good blanket back and forth, when prompted by my parents for a good holiday gift idea, I finally asked for a second larger size throw. Today, I’m professing my love for luxury throw blankets, sharing some easy styling tips, along with 20 of the best faux fur throw blankets for styling this winter. These cozy blankets also make the perfect gift for combatting cold weather, while adding an extra layer of warmth!

We currently have four faux fur blankets throughout our home… two in the basement media room (pictured above), one in the basement bedroom, and one in the celadon guest bedroom. I’ll hop on stories to give you an in-person peek in a bit! During the winter months, I’m all about adding heavier, luxurious texture to our home for an inviting seasonal aesthetic. These make the best blankets November to March, and are the ones we use most often. The designer in me is also thrilled because they’re easy on the eyes.
Faux Fur Blanket Styling Ideas
First, let’s brainstorm a handful of places you could style these cozy throws. Given the best throw blankets always become the favorite or first grab, I like to keep them within reaching distance for easy access. Here are some of my go-to vignettes to cozy up… get creative with them!
- On the arm of a sofa
- Draped on the back of the sofa (a great way to add a large block of texture)
- Folded on the seat of a sofa or chair
- Draped over the foot of the bed
- Folded or ruched at the foot of a bed (for a casual & cozy look)
- Tossed into a large basket in any living space (like our media room, pictured below)
- Draped over a daybed
- Folded at the edge of a bench
- Folded in front of a fireplace as a fur rug / soft landing (or in a basket nearby the fire)

These are all high quality best sellers (many are on sale too!), but I sorted to find the options that felt most realistic with nice visual interest. When I’m looking for luxury bedding or the perfect blanket to cozy up with, I prefer something that has a nice weight to it, an extra-large size, something that’s easy to care for (machine washable), and if I’m going the faux fur route… I’d like it to add a touch of luxury and texture to my vignette. Any of these would be a great choice and would work well with existing home decor.
FAQ
Of course! We have two of these in the champagne fox color… the 60″ and 84″ sizes, which makes for versatile styling & snuggling. I like having two identical throws to style on the same sofa, or in the same room for cohesion.
The majority of these fur throws are machine washable (including the ones I have here at home). There may be one or two in my round up that suggest dry cleaning. Otherwise, they fluff right back up in the dryer after a good machine clean. I use cold water, wash on delicate, and avoid fabric softener.
Definitely in the basement living room! We spend a lot of time lounging downstairs. Lately, after dinner- we’ll turn on the electric fireplace, lounge, and catch up in the basement after a long work day. It’s the relax, cuddle up, watch a movie, make a drink at the basement bar, or the general zone for unplugging in our home.
