Velvet has an innate ability to elevate even the most basic silhouette to luxurious heights — which is probably why, given decor trends are leaning towards maximalist tendencies in 2018, velvet has quickly cemented itself as the fabric du jour this season.
If velvet ottomans and cushion covers don’t quite satiate your velvet needs, why not consider the velvet chair? For one, it’s taking over social media.
In a palette of dusty pinks, pale greens and vibrant blues, adding a velvet couch to any living space will give it an instant update.
Best utilised in midcentury modern–inspired iterations and sleek silhouettes, this seasons statement piece is deserving of the hype.
Whether you’re after an accent chair or something more significant, we’ve found a velvet chair for every taste and aesthetic.
