Why velvet is the timeless go-to trend for glamour

We've been velvet crushing for years, and there's a very good reason why: there's nothing quite as sumptuous or glamorous for your interiors.

As winter draws closer, we're all set to spend even more time at home, meaning it's essential we create a snug sanctuary that's stylish as well as cosy.

Velvet furniture is the perfect solution; its super-soft texture adds the comfy factor while rich tones and statement shades offer ample opportunities for visual interest.

Whether you're looking for a colour-popping velvet sofa, or an indulgent accent piece, sofa.com is the go-to spot. It has an array of ultra-chic pieces to create an upscale finish.

And the best bit? It's all handcrafted by artisans before being delivered directly to your door.

Hot tropics

Being clever with colour is an ultra-stylish way to breathe life into any space. The Saturday Sofa in Peony Cotton Matt Velvet is a statement-making pink that will boost your mood - and your living room - on those long, dark winter days.

Pair it with contrasting chartreuse and bright abstract art for a cool aesthetic that's bursting with character. A moody charcoal wall will ensure your colourful velvet sofa really pops, too.

A chic sleep retreat

A velvet bed is a surefire way to up the style stakes and create a beautiful boudoir. And having a chic sanctuary to retire to at the end of a busy day is more important than ever.

The Knightsbridge in Dusty Rose Cotton Matt Velvet will be a dreamy, design-led focal point, as well as a super-comfy spot for a restorative snooze. Just add a printed rug, flowers, and a cosy throw for the ultimate luxurious long weekend in bed.

The Bluebell Armchair Chaise in Butterscotch Cotton Matt Velvet is a must-have for that much-needed me-time. Ideal for a cosy reading corner or a fashionable forty winks (we won't tell), it's the ultimate blend of sleek and snug.

Think blue and pink

Give a whole new meaning to 'escape room' with a soothing space you'll want to getaway to at any given opportunity. Not only is blue and pink an on-trend colour combination, it also has the ability to induce calm and serenity. The colour of the sea and the sky, blue connects you to nature and invokes a restful atmosphere.

The Bluebell Sofa in Neptune Smart Velvet is a rich shade that pops beautifully against a pale pink wall. Smooth, soft and stylish, it's a luxurious and sumptuous piece. But it's not just a pretty face; the luxurious velvet is finished with a special coating making it durable and resistant to spillages sinking in.
