Velvet is definitely having a moment! This lush fabric is a true standout and it doesn’t have the tacky feel of ’70s fabric. Not to mention, it often overlaps with other design trends such as millennial pink, deep blue, and floral motifs. In today’s post, velvet steals the spotlight as we highlight some amazing pieces that showcase a range of price points. From luxury finds to affordable alternatives, you just might be surprised by some of the picturesque colors and styles that follow…
Velvet Furnishings
Go big or go home! If this is your design philosophy, it’s time to incorporate a velvet furnishing or two into your interior.

If you’re not looking to make a velvet furniture purchase, why not go with a velvet touch in the room of your choice?!
