Velvet Dining Chairs

What makes velvet so popular

Velvet has a fine, dense pile that catches the light and so shows different shades within the same colour. That instantly gives a dining chair a luxurious, warm look. Short pile quality velvet holds its shape well and is surprisingly easy to care for. The fabric feels soft and suits both a classic and a modern interior, which makes velvet dining chairs broadly usable.

Colours and styles

Every velvet colour has its own mood. Dark green is classic and modern at once and combines beautifully with a wooden table. Blush and dusty pink give a soft look and sit beautifully in modern interiors. Cognac is warm and ties in with Scandi and mid-century styles. Anthracite and black look crisp and work well in minimalist settings, while mustard and ochre add a vintage retro warmth. Preferably choose a tone that returns in your rug, cushions or accessories.

How to choose velvet dining chairs

When choosing, pay attention to the wear rating: for intensive daily use a Martindale of 30,000 or higher is welcome, while 20,000 is acceptable for a two person household. In terms of arrangement there are several popular choices. Four velvet chairs around a wooden table is a much loved mix and match combination. If you want an accent, put two velvet carver chairs at the head of the table with ordinary chairs alongside. That way you decide how much velvet you bring into the room.

Caring for velvet

Velvet is easy to keep beautiful. Vacuum the fabric with a soft brush attachment and then stroke it in the same direction, so the pile lies evenly again. Blot stains immediately with a white cloth. For deeper stains, use a mild mixture of soap and water, blotting rather than rubbing. If a slight dent appears from sitting in the same place for long periods, restore it by brushing the fabric up against the natural grain.

What else combines beautifully

Velvet dining chairs come into their own best around a warm wooden dining table, where the contrast between fabric and wood lets the chairs speak. Choose a velvet colour that returns in your other soft furnishings, such as cushions, a rug or curtains, for a coherent whole. That way you build a dining room step by step that looks luxurious and at the same time invites you to linger at the table.
