Velvet: Top tips the biggest trends

From accessories to big statement pieces, we have the key velvet additions in store just for you! With a distinctive mix of glamour and charm, velvet is an interior favourite right now, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

While the versatile texture and look is sure to bring a rich finish to any setting, how exactly do you incorporate such a bold trend into the home?

So let’s get into it…

Accessorising with velvet

If you’re looking to introduce the velvet trend around the home without overdoing it, start off small with accents and accessories.

A real showstopper and great way to finish your luxury dining space, the Amy dining chair is comfortable and contemporary with subtle style nods to the art deco era.

Velvet accessories like chairs, cushions and poufs are incredibly on-trend and can transform a room regardless of the season. These details add a wow factor no matter the shade and are an easy way to embrace the look without having to make any big changes.

Established in 1995, Baker produces contemporary and traditional bedroom, dining and occasional furniture.

For a bigger statement sure to turn heads, go bold with velvet furniture. A modernist design, projected onto our days: such is the Estasi sofa. Its shape is elegant and memorable, with a lot of room and comfort but a slender overall figure. Be amazed. A classic velvet Estasi can offer an unexpected twist in deep blue offering a major impact in the living room.

The dining area and the bedroom are both perfect spaces to introduce velvet too. Not only do they add charm, but they are also more comfortable. Drawing in the eye, the Estasi love seat is a perfect addition to the household.

Take an extra look at the metal feet, or the contrast welt entered as second covering – you’ll see they are no ordinary detail. Back and seat cushions are fixed to the sofa’s wooden frame, for added solidity and support. Its soft, comforting finish turns up the cosy factor, giving the room a warm, relaxed ambience.

Choosing the correct palette

The great thing about velvet is that it works in just about any shade. From deep navy to jewel yellow or even pastel pink, no matter what your preference, bringing velvet into your home is a breeze.

“If you’re looking to make a statement with your velvet furniture and furnishings, go bold with your colours and tone down the surrounding space with soft, neutral shades to really let the velvet pop.”

“Alternatively, if you favour a bold wall such as navy or forest green, why not pair with a pastel pink velvet sofa or armchair?” Rebecca says.
