Save or splurge: Two throw picks for when the sun goes down

Fur is trending and it trumps wool in the comfort stakes when it comes to snuggling up on the sofa no matter what the season

Furry loveliness trumps wool, even pricey cashmere, in the comfort stakes when it comes to snuggling up on the sofa, although the quality varies depending on how much you spend.

Some versions can be weighty with plenty of structure so they drape really well on chair arms, across the seat of a sofa or as an extra layer on a bed at chillier times of the year. More affordable versions also offer texture to lift flat surfaces and neutral colour schemes, tending to be thinner and limper but they still achieve the look.
