Velvet Sofas

What makes a velvet sofa special

Velvet is a woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives the piece a soft sheen and an inviting touch. The material feels pleasant against the skin and looks rich. A velvet sofa works as a statement: a single velvet piece in an otherwise neutral room immediately adds a warm accent. The look is striking, especially in deep tones such as dark green, blush or cognac.

The right colour and interior style

The colour choice strongly determines how the sofa lands in your interior. In warm interior styles, rich, deep colours such as cognac, olive or burgundy work beautifully; they anchor the room and give a sheltered feeling. In modern interiors, soft pastel tones give an airy, elegant contrast. Think in advance about the rest of your setting: velvet draws the eye, so either let the sofa be the focal point or choose a subtler tone as an accent.

Size and seating arrangement

Choose the size based on your seating arrangement and the space available. A velvet sofa comes into its own with a little air around it, so the fabric and the shape stay visible. If you are unsure about the dimensions or about combining it with an armchair or corner arrangement, our interior consultants are happy to think along with you in the showroom, where you can compare the sofas side by side.

Caring for velvet

Velvet is easy to care for if you stick to a few things. Vacuum regularly with a soft brush to lift dust and lint out of the pile. Treat stains by blotting, not rubbing, so you avoid flattening the pile or spreading the stain. With the right quality of velvet and a protective finish, the sofa is perfectly suited to daily use. If you want extra durability, choose a fabric with a high abrasion test score. We are happy to advise you on this, so you make the right choice.
