2 seater velvet sofas
For those looking to outfit a smaller living room with a touch of elegance, a 2 seater sofa is a wonderful space-saving option that still delivers on its luxurious promise. Larger lounges could also use a 2 seater as an impressive contrast to an existing sofa suite, and they work well in even the most glamorous of boudoirs, too. Perfect for smaller spaces, cosy corners, or as a stylish addition to a bedroom or home office.
3 seater velvet sofas
If you have a little bit more room to spare, and like the idea of lying spread-eagled across the cushions, then a 3 seater sofa might be a more suitable choice. Not only can you fit more guests on the cushions to enjoy the sumptuous softness, but this larger sofa becomes the stylish focal point of your lounge. Great for stretching out solo or squeezing next to your friends for a movie marathon.
4 seater velvet sofas
Perfect for family film nights and large gatherings in the living room, a 4 seater sofa can fit everyone on the cushions with room to spare. There’s certainly nothing quite like an afternoon nap stretched across the softness of this larger velvet option – it just might be difficult to peel yourself away from the luxurious comfort! A true statement piece that doesn’t compromise on comfort, perfect for families and entertainers alike.
Velvet corner sofas
Velvet corner sofas typically sit the same amount of people as a 4 seater - or more, depending on the size. The difference is the L-shaped silhouette that can contour to your living room’s dimensions, not taking up as much square footage. Solo sitters also have the luxury of putting their feet up when they’re relaxing or taking a quick power nap. They’re ideal for open-plan layouts and social living spaces.
Velvet recliner sofas
If being able to put your feet up is at the top of your wish list, then look no further than our velvet recliner sofas. You get all the luxurious comfort of a normal velvet sofa and then, with the press of a button, a footrest pops out from the silhouette – perfect for those weekend telly marathons and snoozing in the afternoon.
Velvet armchairs
Whether you want to add an eye-catching accent to your existing sofa suite or would like to squeeze a comfy chair in a reading nook, velvet armchairs could be the opulent throne you’re searching for. Ideal for refreshing a forgotten corner or designing the best seat in the house.
What other velvet furniture do you sell?
Your lounge isn’t the only room that should benefit from the luxury of velvet! The va-va-voom and versatility of velvet isn’t just for sofas, after all. You can extend that luxe look with complementary pieces throughout the home:
Velvet footstools
Practical and pretty, velvet footstools are ideal for putting your feet up or adding a pop of texture.
Velvet beds
Statement headboards and plush upholstery bring hotel-level comfort to your bedroom.
Velvet bedroom chairs
From accent chairs to chaise longues, velvet chairs are perfect for creating a boutique bedroom vibe.
Velvet dining chairs
Soft, stylish seating that brings an elevated feel to your dining room.
Earthy tones
If you’re aiming for the warm and inviting feel of a traditional set-up, for example, then we’d recommend opting for a velvet Chesterfield sofa in neutral or earthy tones. We’re talking olive green, cream, or terracotta – timeless choices that make everyone feel at home.
Jewel tones
Jewel tones, such as deep blue or emerald green velvet sofas, can also work really well in a traditional living room, adding an eye-catching pop of glamour and sophistication. These deep hues are made for bold interiors and add a sense of luxury and drama.
Monochrome shades
Modern living rooms, on the other hand, are all about sleek minimalism and bold accents. If you’re looking at a large contemporary velvet sofa, set the tone for your décor with monochromatic colours, such as grey, white, or black. Pair with metallics or clean lines for a contemporary finish.
Statement bright hues
If you’re looking to add a velvet armchair, consider breaking up your space with an exciting accent electric blue, sunny yellow, or hot pink. Alternatively, go bold with your velvet sofa and turn it into the eye-catching centrepiece of the room.
