Inspired by our Cornerstone BOGO Campaign, we’re looking at 15 fresh new ways to style your Moroccan, Turkish, and Alpaca blankets as part of your at-home #Pokoliving!
Pokoloko x Cornerstone: Our Alpaca Blanket Give Back Initiative
This holiday season Poko is thrilled to be sponsoring Ottawa’s Cornerstone Housing for Women - the nation’s capital’s only women-focused shelter and housing organization.
Cornerstone is a charitable organization that focuses on providing the resources needed to help women facing homelessness transition out of crisis.
And because we feel strongly about supporting our community, we wanted to do our part!
As part of our BOGO initiative, for every blanket bought between now and December 31st, we will donate an Ecuadorian alpaca blanket to Cornerstone. We are just over halfway to our goal of 84 blankets!
Your holiday shopping supports not only your loved ones this year but the women of our community as well!
Because when we keep each other warm, each of our worlds gets a little brighter.
“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." - Margaret J. Wheatley
In honour of our buy a blanket, give a blanket initiative, we thought we’d share some inspiration for how Pokos like YOU have styled your #pokoliving at home!

Item: Inverse Light Grey Pom Pom Blanket & Half-Light Grey Pom Pom Pillow
This heirloom-quality blanket is thick and heavy for the coldest of winter nights! But its soft grey texture and colour palette make it an easy addition to any bedroom design - every stylist’s dream!

Neutrals and greyscale - it is the hype blanket to let your accent pillows or art pop - and for this we love it. Also Amy’s cats approve of every Poko item in her house - so we see that as a very important stamp of approval. #pokopets

Item: Bordered White Pom Pom Blanket
If my mother taught me anything about bedroom décor, it’s that a great spread for the end of your bed adds a finishing touch! The Moroccan tassels also add a simple, but classy look- just beware they might become your cat’s new favourite toy!

Who said treehouse décor couldn’t be an elevated kind of simple? This interior design capitalizes off of the radiant sunlight streaming in, giving the room a clean and bright look.
