Drew Barrymore keeps her living room cozy in the winter with an all-natural warming accessory – and they're selling out quickly

January is a time for renewal and slowness. It's the part of the year when it's difficult to think about anything besides sipping soup and cuddling in cozy blankets by the fire. Cocooning inside requires interiors that invite warmth and relaxation with a variety of soft comforting materials and furnishings. No matter the current state of your living room, Drew Barrymore's 100% Merino wool throw blanket recommendation is the antidote.

Barrymore suggestion of the best throw blanket came as part of her partnership with Etsy as their Chief Gifting Officer. Barrymore explains: 'Gift giving is one of my love languages, and that’s why I adore Etsy for the festive season – every gift tells a story and feels like it was made just for that special person. Whether you’re shopping for kids, your friends, or even your fur babies, my Etsy gift guide is all about celebrating the people (and pets!) we cherish most.' Though we love many of the gifts in her guide, we are especially enchanted by her throw blanket recommendation, which feels like something that will be in style long after the holiday season has passed.

The couch do comes in a unique celery shade with a slight herringbone pattern to give it a hint of texture. Drew Barrymore's pick is made of fine merino wool using 100% natural processes for a result that is ultra-soft, durable, and breathable. The ivory fringe on the edges is the perfect accent. Clearly, we aren't the only ones who think so because the throw is almost sold out on Etsy.

Styling a throw blanket is the perfect way to bring an instant cozy element to your living room at a low commitment. If you live in a setting where there are four seasons and you don't want to commit to a full cocoon room because it will be too heavy for the summer months, a light throw like this is easy to tuck away as the temperatures rise outside. A merino wool blanket like Drew Barrymore's suggestion would look fabulous paired with a set of linen throw pillows for a striking contrast in materials. I also think it could be interesting to pair it with a lighter color to emphasize the unique brightness of the throw.

Drew Barrymore tends to have great suggestions, and her idea to buy a Merino wool throw as a gift (or for yourself) is in line with this. This year, coziness is of peak importance.
