We've said it before and we'll say it again: texture makes all the difference. From transforming a neutral scheme to adding visual interest to a modern room, using a variety of materials is the easiest way to bring depth and warmth into your home. Naomi Watts has mastered the easiest way to incorporate texture: a cozy alpaca throw blanket.

The actress's best throw blanket is the Andes Suri Alpaca Knit Throw from Coyuchi. She announced her adoration for the blanket in her recent curation for the sustainable bedding brand. In the press release, Watts gushes: 'Creating a home filled with beauty, comfort, and mindfulness is how I love to live. Coyuchi’s unwavering commitment to sustainable, organic, and luxurious textiles speaks to the core of what I believe in. I’ve always felt that the most beautiful things in life remain closest to their natural form—uncomplicated, authentic, and connected to the earth. Partnering with Coyuchi allows me to align with a brand that values conscious luxury, making our homes sanctuaries that feed us and our planet.'

Her chosen ivory blanket epitomizes cozy decor and is the perfect way to upgrade your living room sofa this winter. It's made of 100% alpaca fibers from the finest Suri alpacas in the world. The soft, silky texture is unmatched. Despite its plushness, the throw is refreshingly light. As demonstrated by Watts, it's ideal for wrapping around oneself as a beautiful lifestyle accessory.

If you hope to recreate her idea, styling throw blankets is easier than it looks. My favorite way to use a throw blanket is draped over the back of a neutral sofa. Especially if you have a white or gray sofa without much texture, a blanket like Watts's suggestion can make all the difference. This look is exceptionally stylish when paired with a few pretty throw pillows. The Suri Alpaca Throw can also be used at the end of a bed. On a full or twin bed, it can be placed horizontally across the bottom of the bed. If you have a larger bed, a throw blanket looks best laid diagonally across a larger quilt or blanket at the end of the duvet.

If you love adding texture to your home but aren't in the market for alpaca, Watts's pick of Coyuchi's highly textured, 100% cotton towels is a great way to incorporate the look into your bathroom. These towels can be stacked or draped over a towel for a cozy look, similar to what a throw can create in a living room.
