Once a traditional choice, velvet is now one of the most fashionable fabrics in the interior world. We've seen it creeping in over the past year  but we're expecting to see velvet sofas, chairs and accessories everywhere this Autumn and Winter. Whether you like gorgeous jewel tones or subtle neutrals, find out how you can style the hottest interior trend in your own home.

Velvet has a sumptuous soft finish, making velvet sofas the perfect choice for snuggly living rooms but if you want just a hint of the trend we've picked out a selection of velvet accent chairs too.

  1. Bohemian Velvet Vibes

Alexander & James Eden Velvet Sofas

The Alexander and James sofa gives velvet a bohemian twist with its vibrant scatter back design. The unusual colours and patterns will be the talking point of any living space, so style it with a plain rug and simple accessories.

 

2. Understated Velvet Chic

SITS Ville Velvet Sofas

The Scandinavian inspired design of the SITS Ville brings velvet up to date. The dark grey keeps the velvet looking understated, making the trend easy to style. We think the Ville's traditional deep button detailing ties the whole look together.  Style velvet sofas like the SITS Ville with pale grey scatter cushions and a comfy throw.

 

3. Leather and Velvet Mix

Alexander & James Isabel Leather and Velvet Sofas

A sofa upholstered in a mix of velvet and leather is a stylish alternative to a full velvet sofa. The Alexander & James Isabel's frame is upholstered in a buttery leather, whilst the seat and scatter cushions have luxurious velvet textures. The contrast between the textures if effortlessly chic with modern and traditional influence that would suit almost any style of interior.

 

4. Velvet Accents

We agree that a velvet sofa can be too statement for some living rooms. Instead why not try a velvet accent chair? Placed in the corner of room, an accent chair gives you the opportunity to incorporate a new style, colour or fabric without totally transforming your space. Plus they're easy to switch around so you can enjoy the versatility they bring to your decor.
