Plush and luxurious with a distinct aristocratic vintage mood, velvet is back in vogue. The silky soft fabric is best used with restraint - use just the right amount to elevate your living space into a rich yet cosy nest for the cooler months.

Invest in a velvet sofa in a lush green shade, antique pink or rich chartreuse for a standout statement piece. The sumptuous fabric makes it ideal for seating and the right colour will add instant wow-factor to the room.

For a considerably pared back look, consider introducing the fabric of the moment through simple solid-hued cushions. Not only is it the easiest way to refresh your sofa, it’s perfect for layering over other fabrics.

We have a serious plush crush.
