Velvet is everywhere: 8 stellar pieces to bring the trend home
Alluring decor that?s soft and textured Maybe it?s the couches at your local coworking spot, or the accent pillows at a just-opened wine bar, but velvet is everywhere. As Curbed?s latest feature explains, velvet is the newly hip antidote to a modern, high-tech world that?s increasingly hard and smooth; it?s a warm and stimulating texture that draws on both old-fashioned luxury and contemporary design.
There?s no avoiding velvet?s original connotation as a luxury textile, but modern manufacturing has made velvet available to the masses at lower price points. And new, tightly woven ?performance velvet? is created from solution-dyed acrylic in order to resist wear and tear, making it surprisingly resilient and family-friendly. Still, velvet?s best attributes take center stage, no matter the weave: It?s plush, soft to the touch, and offers a rich color saturation. Below, see our picks for how to incorporate velvet into your home, from sumptuous pillows to lounge-worthy sofas.
