✨🧰 Designer’s Toolbox
In this series we break down the materials, finishes, and furniture types that bring a space to life. From natural textures to timeless silhouettes, we’re spotlighting the design elements that create depth, character, and intention in every room. Whether you’re designing from scratch or just making a few upgrades, these are the tools we reach for again and again.
Today’s tool: Velvet Upholstery ✨
Soft, rich, and full of texture, velvet is one of those fabrics that can instantly add depth to a room.
🪑 Texture & Feel: Velvet has a smooth, plush surface that catches the light differently as you move around it, giving even a solid color extra dimension.
🏡 Where to use it: Sofas, accent chairs, ottomans, headboards, dining chairs, or even drapery when you want to introduce a softer, more luxurious texture.
💡 Why we love it: Velvet brings softness and richness to a space without needing pattern or lots of extra detail. It works beautifully in bold colors or quieter neutrals, and performance options make it a practical choice for everyday spaces too.
