Velvet was always a winter texture in interiors, however it has now become an all year round trend.
It’s a luxe texture which can elevate a space instantaneously. I’ve got a few velvet pieces in my home and they won’t be swapped for anything else even if the trend disappears.
Interior tends come and go. How long velvet will stay on trend, who knows. But even when trends disappear, they come back round again. You may end up with a much wanted piece by keeping what you have.
I do love the feel of velvet and how it can add texture to a space. I thought I’d share some ways you can introduce velvet to your home. A small accent here and there is an affordable way to bring a bit of velvet into your home. Larger pieces will need more of an investment though.
Pillow Covers
I bought some forest green velvet cushion covers on sale at Adairs a year or so ago. They were in the clearance bin and even though I wasn’t sure how I’d style them, I knew I wanted them.
Changing pillow covers is a super affordable way to update your bedroom. The picture above shows how I recently styled our bed using a new kantha throw and some floral pillow cases from Add to Cart.
Cushions
One of the most popular ways to introduce a trend to the living room is adding a cushion. A round cushion or a large square cushion can be used to layer within your existing cushions.
Ottoman
There are many uses for an ottoman in the bedroom or your living room. A velvet ottoman adds a luxurious piece to your interiors
Bedhead
Velvet Bedheads are my favourite bedheads. They’re soft to touch and comfortable to recline on. While it’s a pricier piece to invest in, it may bring that added wow factor to your bedroom. If you’re not keen for colour, opt for a neutral.
Occasional Chair
The occasional chair has become a popular piece of furniture in the home. Offering a reading nook or another spot for a guest to sit when the couches are taken, an occasional chair in velvet can add a feature focal point to the room.
