Trend Alert: Luscious Velvet

We adore velvet. It’s one of those materials that are soft, sophisticated and instantly adds a touch of glamour to any room. It’s perfect for winter because it’s always deep and saturated – even in lighter colours. Designer sofas in velvet immediately draw you in, softening your living space, providing a cosy and pretty centrepiece. Fear not, you don’t need to swap your sofa to get this trend right. Smaller pieces like armchairs, ottomans and home accessories can also do the trick. Read below to get tips from the pros on how to incorporate velvet into your home.


For all the velvety goodness you’ll ever want peruse Portuguese brand Munna. On the left, the divine Fringes Sofa and on the right the Babe Armchair in burnt orange. 

Cosy Cushions
Use velvet cushions to add a subtle sheen and warmth to a reading nook, or even scatter them on the floor for a relaxed vibe. Nitin Goyal’s velvet cushion collection not only feels amazingly soft but also has the added excitement of texture. If you prefer something plain we suggest Bivain’s newest velvet cushion collection.

On the right you can see a beautiful hand smocked flower scatter cushions by the Enlish brand Nitin Goyal. On the left you see valvet cushions in peach and navy blue both with piping details from the contemporary home décor and accessories brand Bivain.
