Merino Throw From Hay
1.) There’s nothing that can spruce up décor better—or faster—than a new throw. We adore the ultra-lightweight merino wool version from Dutch design firm Hay. The cool aqua hue plays well alongside bright pink, making this an ideal sofa or bed throw during the warmer summer months. MoMA Design Store, 81 Spring Street. store.moma.org
