Creating Statement Interiors with Velvet Upholstery Fabric

Why Choose Velvet Upholstery Fabric for our Furniture?

In interior design, few materials evoke the luxurious allure and opulence quite like velvet. This sumptuous fabric, with its deep, rich hues and invitingly soft feel, has the unparalleled ability to transform a room into an atmospheric sanctuary of comfort and style. Velvet upholstery fabric, in its myriad of colours and patterns, beckons us to dream bigger, to infuse our spaces with a touch of the majestic, and to create statement interiors that wrap us in their embrace.

The resurgence of velvet speaks volumes about our collective yearning for tactile comfort and visual warmth in our homes. Velvet upholstery fabric has become the darling of the design world, making its presence felt in the chicest of city apartments, the cosiest of country cottages, and everything in between.

A Symphony of Colour on Velvet Fabric

The magic of velvet lies not only in its texture but in it’s ability to reflect light, giving an unparalleled depth and richness to colours. From the deepest of indigos to the most vibrant of emeralds, velvet colours are lush, evocative, and utterly bewitching. 

The uses of Becca Who velvet fabrics showcase an array of stunning results in customer homes, whether it be a grand sofa, it’s curves and lines accentuated by the plushness of velvet, taking centre stage to become the regal focal point of a living room - or a set of dining chairs, reupholstered in sumptuous velvet, adding an opulent ambience to everyday meals.

Many of the fabric designs from Becca Who are offered in rich colour palettes, often featuring her favourite jewel tones. The fabric showcasing the intended richness of the colour palettes is paramount to the finished results in creating interiors which wow the senses.

Velvet Upholstery Fabric as a Canvas for Expression

Velvet upholstery fabric is not merely a durable material for covering furniture; when imbued with expressive artwork, it becomes a canvas for personal expression. A patterned designer velvet can become a medium through which rooms tell stories, spaces reveal personalities, and furniture becomes art. The texture of velvet invites us to play with contrasts — pairing the matte with the sheen, the rough with the smooth, and the minimalist with the maximalist. A patterned velvet upholstered headboard against a backdrop of plain walls speaks of understated elegance, whilst a bright, artistic velvet ottoman adds a splash of joy to a room of neutrals. Thoughtfully brought together, patterned velvet fabrics can combine beautifully with an array of other patterns within an interior, taking us to the heady heights of Maximalism.

The Touch of Luxury from Velvet

In creating beautiful interior spaces, the sensory experience of velvet cannot be overstated. Sitting comfortably on a velvet sofa is to be enveloped in a hug, the tactile softness of a velvet footstool is luxurious and warm. The sumptuous texture of velvet fabrics elevates everyday moments into experiences, transforming the mundane into something special. It's in these details, within our upholstery and soft furnishings, that our homes become havens, reflecting not just our aesthetic preferences but our very essence.

For Timeless Interiors, Choose Velvet for it’s Durable, Practical Nature

Velvet is an upholstery fabric that asks to be touched, used, and loved; a durable material that remains beautiful with age and use. All of the Becca Who Velvet Fabrics have a rub test Martindale Score of 50,000, which means that they are very durable, suitable for heavy domestic use. This level of durability makes it an equally viable choice for commercial settings. All Becca Who Velvet Fabrics are available as FR - Flame Retardant - which is a legal requirement for upholstered pieces. When purchasing for upholstery, simply select FR on the product page before adding your metres to cart.

Care and Maintenance of Velvet Fabric

The excellent level of durability makes velvet a good choice for the home, but proper care is, of course, still an essential part of maintaining it’s luxurious appearance. Regular vacuuming with a soft brush attachment helps to prevent dust and dirt from settling into the fabric. Spot cleaning with a gentle upholstery cleaner is usually advised for stains, whilst some velvet fabrics are dry clean only - and professional cleaning is always recommended for deeper cleaning needs.

Embracing Velvet Upholstery Fabric in Your Space

Incorporating velvet upholstery fabric into your home need not be daunting. Many choose to add one statement piece of furniture to a room — a beautiful sofa leading the aesthetic of an interior or a characterful velvet armchair in a reading nook. You might look to add smaller pieces such as an elegant footstool or a storage ottoman.

The lushness of velvet pairs beautifully with other textures in an interior and can accentuate your other furniture by bringing contrast to the space. Velvet sits very well with natural elements such as the ruggedness of wood textures or the lushness of plants - and exudes opulence alongside brass or other metals you might have in a side table or floor lamp. 

The luxury of velvet is not in exclusivity, but in it’s accessibility; Durable, beautiful upholstery velvet is available in a wide range of artistic patterns and colour palettes, suitable for all furniture uses. In creating interior spaces with velvet, we are reminded of the beauty of texture, the joy of colour, and the importance of creating homes that are reflections of our own individuality.
