Play with other substantial pieces or let it shine on its own during movie nights, cocktail hours with friends or an afternoon with a book. Discover how a velvet upholstered sofa makes your living room a luxury lounge for the whole family.

Why You Need Velvet Upholstery

Explore the beauty of a velvet upholstered sofa and how it may be the perfect choice for your home. Shopping for a new sofa is already a satisfying experience. With materials as attractive as velvet, it becomes even more rewarding.

• Velvet adds depth and dimension to your home decor. The pile of the fabric is just cushy enough to be remarkable, while staying in balance with other accents like fluffy rugs or stacks of throw blankets.
• The intensity of the color is usually magnificent. Even if you choose a modern neutral hue, the warmth of velvet allows the shade to glow. Choose exceptional lighting to bring out the best in your palette.
• Velvet has just enough stretch to it that you can enjoy cuddling up, stretching out, sitting with friends or arranging pillows along the back cushions. The material keeps its shape even with frequent use.
• Maintaining your velvet upholstered sofa is as easy as softly brushing it when you perform regular home care. This keeps the upholstery fresh and bright.
