A touch of velvet, in the living room and beyond!
It catches the eye thanks to its almost iridescent reflections, it evokes refined atmospheres of the past, it invites to the touch, with its surface that resembles a very thin fur. We are talking about velvet, a historically and exquisitely Italian fabric, with very strong decorative potential, and a great trend right now. Difficult to resist its charm, its soft and enveloping aspect, its nature of fabric different from all the others. Its composition transforms and makes each color unique and for this reason it adapts to different style houses: in a neutral shade it dresses a classic environment, in a lively color it plays down and gives character to a contemporary context. The most popular colors? Blue, mustard yellow, undergrowth green. Just one single detail covered with this fabric is enough to lift the tone of an interior. And during the holiday season, when we want to make our house special and give ourselves a more elegant style, inserting a velvet furniture or detail is always a valid solution. To get the most out of velvet furnishings and accessories, the advice is to rely on color contrasts, for example combining seats and cushions in different colors, without fear. It is a way to interpret it in a modern key and avoid a too classic effect. Alternatively, we focus on furnishings with distinctly contemporary lines but covered in velvet. In any case, let us remember that velvet today wants to be noticed, so a piece of furniture or accessory in this fabric is not meant to remain aloof, but to enjoy the center of the limelight and become the focal point of the environment. And if the living room is the place of choice of this fabric, we can also imagine it in other areas of the house, to which we want to devote special attention.
sofa by (on the cover)
The visual impact of the Iseo sofa by Cantori is really intense, in an elegant green velvet (but also available in other colors). The supporting structure is made of aluminum and the seat frame is in steel, while the backrest and armrests are in multilayer wood covered with polyurethane foam. The corolla-shaped back lines and armrests, in a vaguely twenties style, characterize the sofa giving it a sophisticated but also welcoming appearance. The seat is unique and padded with variable density foam rubber for greater comfort. Five decorative pillows, also in velvet but in different finishes, complete and finish the whole.

Even the Swivel armchair is an elegant and enveloping furnishing element, useful if you want to create a discreet and sophisticated focal point. Inspired by the 1950s, its circular base in metal, in the very current finish of rose gold, is not only decorative but also swivel: an interesting function that makes it even more versatile and suitable, for example, even in the study corner.

If we are looking for a smaller, more versatile accessory that represents just a chromatic and material accent, we will undoubtedly focus on one or more velvet cushions, like this one by , combining the colors to art.

Velvet not only in the living room: this bed by Flou is irresistible, because instead of the classic headboard has a sort of screen, also available in velvet, as in the photo. A real nest in which to take refuge, but rich in class, for a bedroom to put on display.
