Woven since the middle ages, velvet has continued to be a popular choice for furniture upholstery throughout the years. Its appeal is mainly due to the balance it offers between being heavy and durable while also having a soft, plush surface and a beautiful sheen. Traditionally made from silk, modern day velvet is often made using cotton or synthetics, including rayon and acetate. Cotton velvet, also known as velveteen, is the strongest and most durable of them all.

Crushed velvet is produced by twisting the velvet whilst wet, which produces a sumptuous, shimmering and soft-to-the-touch effect that makes an opulent impression in any room. Our range of luxurious velvet sofas includes 3-seater, 4-seater and corner sofa options. With foam filled cushions that bounce back, you can spice up your room with complementary shades of teal, lavender silver and truffle.

Velvet sofas are perfect for snuggling down with the whole family. It requires a quick vacuum once a week to remove loose dirt and dust and avoid washing with water. Stay away from the washing machine. Our fabrics aren’t designed to be washed and giving covers a spin at even a low temperature could affect how fire retardant they are, as well as cause the colours to seep and the fabric to shrink.
