This one has small birds set among the floral sprays on a deep blue ground, so when it's draped over the end of the bed it reads as a deliberate choice rather than storage.

Cotton breathes, which means it doesn't build up that clammy heat that makes you kick a synthetic throw off at 3am, and it doesn't crackle with static when you pull it back. It also washes properly — you can put it through the machine after a spill instead of spot-cleaning and hoping. The trade-off is that cotton wrinkles and it isn't the plushest thing you'll ever touch. If you want a blanket you can actually sleep under all night rather than one that just looks good folded, that's the right trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYellow \u0026amp; Dark Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e — the only colourway, and it's a specific one: a near-navy base with the floral and bird motifs picked out in warm yellow and softer neutrals.
