Whether you prefer cotton or fleece, the humble blanket is a real staple in the home of any respectable young person: it ties your colour-coordinated bedding together, spruces up your sofa, and adds a little something extra to those days where Netflix is calling your name.

Whilst the more technical options come with ever-coveted benefits for your sleep, something simple, yet showy is sure to impress your guests and leave them complimenting your design genius.
