Velvet comes with a reputation of old world, class, tradition, and expense, but today velvet is used with modern twist.
You can choose to mix and match different velvet colors and textures for an artistic look. Mixing and matching patterned velvet with solid colors can be one way to make an article of furniture feel a bit modern.
Pairing the opulent feel of velvet to something that’s the very opposite – like distressed wood – can only make velvet look even more luxurious.
If you’re trying to make a room feel expensively decorated without actually bringing in a decorator, you should use velvet upholstery in moderation. Often, the difference between making a room look expensive and making it look cheap lies in the amount of velvet that you decide to use.
