We just can’t get enough velvet. Frankly, we’d wear it every day if we could, so it’s only natural that we’d want to incorporate it into our home decor aesthetic whenever possible as well. It adds a rich look to everything around it, not to mention it’s really soft, putting you in the mood for snuggling up inside.
There’s only one problem with velvet: Too much of it can make a space look a little tacky—not chic. You can thank velvet’s Victorian and royal vibes for that. You don’t want your home to look like it’s Halloween all year round—unless that’s what you’re going for, of course—or straight out of Jane Eyre. Having a focal piece like a few pillows, a duvet, or (if you’re extra-bold) a sofa as your main event lets you add richness and texture without going into velvet overdrive. We came up with six modern ways to get the most luxe trend into your own home. Some might seem obvious, but several might surprise you. And in addition to inspo, we’ve also selected some of our fave velvet pieces to shop if you want to get the look.
Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do.
