Irresistibly luxurious with a reputation of opulent style, velvet furniture has made a major comeback over the past few years with a fresh modern feel. Apart from its impressive looks and tactile appeal, velvet also offers excellent durability and other practical benefits. Unlike a lot of other materials, velvet has no loose threads or raised weave, which means it can’t easily snag or tear, and does not hold onto dirt and hairs, making it quite practical for families with kids and pets. Velvet is also an excellent insulator—it not only adds warmth to your space (both literally and visually), but also acts as an effective sound absorber in larger spaces.
