I say bring on all the velvet! I’m a huge fan of this material. It’s versatile and works in any environment whether it’s a traditional farmhouse or an ultra-modern city condo. It’s ideal for families and bachelors and it can be bold and subtle. From dining chairs to head boards, velvet looks fantastic on any furniture piece.

Velvet looks incredibly luxurious and high end, but depending on the manufacturer, it can be affordable and handle heavy wear and tear. It’s important to follow the seller’s maintenance instructions, but most are as easy as using a damp cloth to dab the area, not rub. For pet lovers, purchase a color that matches your pet’s hair color. Velvet attracts hair, but velvet brushes can help with the removal.

A few of my favorite pieces are below. Take in and enjoy the glamour and timeless chic of velvet!
