- Chunky Knit Throw Blanket
Nothing says “cozy Netflix night” like a weighty, oversized knit. Drape one asymmetrically over the sofa so a single corner puddles onto the floor—let that tactile weave contrast smoother linen cushions. Choose plush neutrals (ivory, terracotta, sage) to layer without clashing, and keep proportions balanced: thicker knits on larger sectionals, tighter weaves on petite chairs.
