VELVET IS TAKING OVER!
Once somewhat of a luxury, velvet is now a popular, fairly affordable fabric that can be seen in all of the best design blogs. How did this happen?! We have no idea – but we’re not complaining, and to be honest we hope the trend never goes away. We are big fans of that classy, elegant-yet-boho look and if you looked up velvet in the dictionary, that’s probably the definition you would find. How do you incorporate this into your home without looking like the room got stuck in a time travel machine? We’re glad you asked, and we’ve rounded up some of the most stylish velvet pieces for you to take inspiration from.
The key here is to choose one statement piece – a couch, a chair, pillows. You can’t have everything velvet (even though we know you wish you could – just admit it) so choose wisely. Velvet couches are probably the most popular, but are also a large expense and a bit of a risk considering this is a trend after all. However, they are SO beautiful. You can almost put that in a room with nothing else and people will be amazed at your decorating skills. Really. Try it.
Pillows are probably the easiest way to show off your trendy decorating skills. You’re hip, you keep up with what’s in and what’s out. And the best part? You can replace pillows every week if you wanted to! It’s the easiest décor hack and it really can make a dramatic difference in your home.
Here are a few of our favorite velvet pieces – plus a couple that we have used in our show homes. What are your favorites? Share with us!
