Gorgeous, tactile, and versatile, velvet fabrics add luxury and plushness to any space.

With so many designs, techniques, and colours, velvet is more versatile than ever. It hasn't lost its star quality, though. There’s a design for every home, whether it’s a striking botanical design or tactile cord. These can be used for a range of treatments, too, from velvet curtains to upholstery. It also looks fabulous combined with other fabrics. Take a look below at 4 ways you can use velvet in your own home.

Showstopping Curtains

Hang velvet at your window and use for curtain fabric to truly make an entrance.

Displaying velvet curtains at your window is a surefire way to transform your home, with a touch of glamour. The fabric’s thicker nature allows for a cosy winter space. Choose a richer jewel tone such as emerald green. These colours are a match made in heaven with velvet. Tie your space together and pair with a footstool or chair in the same fabric. Alternatively, choose a different coloured, complementary velvet and give the hero piece centre stage.  

Luxurious Upholstery Pieces

Velvet upholstery truly shines.

Velour Collection

Velvet's tactile nature makes for truly special sofas, armchairs, and footstools. The fabric’s softness suits it to pieces such as a cosy armchair, for example. Place this in the corner of the room where you can enjoy a quiet, relaxing moment. Coordinate your fabric choice with your furniture. For example, a sleek, plain design would suit a more contemporary curved tub armchair. Alternatively, a textured, rust-tinted velvet lends itself well to more retro pieces.

Eye-Catching Soft Accessories

 You don’t always need to drench a room in velvet to make an impact.

Velour Collection

Enjoy the charm of velvet by introducing scatter cushions or throws into an area of the room. Make a focal point out of a sofa or bed with an assortment of cushions. This will be effective using any colours, from soft dusky shades to vibrant tones. However, velvet looks especially impactful in fabulous jewel tones.

Combining Velvet with Different Fabrics and Materials

Velvet is as versatile as it is gorgeous. Mix with contrasting fabrics and finishes to bring it to life.

Pair with fabrics of varying compositions, such as a wispy textured sheer, for depth. Weaves and embroideries, with their tactile nature, go well with velvet too. Stick to a consistent palette and avoid a busy room scheme. Velvet pairs well with more decadent materials such as gold also. Bronze and gold accents and hardware effortlessly highlight its elegance.
