5 Reasons Why You Need a Velvet Sofa in Your Home

Velvet has a softness, unlike any other fabric, making it a truly stylish must-have in your home. But we know that choosing a velvet fabric sofa can seem a little daunting at first. Let us share five reasons why you need a velvet sofa in your home!

When it comes to velvet, it's the velvet that comes first - it feels so good to the touch! Who can resist running their hands up and down in this rich fabric? Because of this, luxurious velvet sofas and furniture have a very comfortable and inviting feel in their own right, making them a great choice for creating a cozy living room setting. Velvet is also available in a variety of colors, making it easier to match your existing interior, or create your dream interior!

One question you're sure to ask yourself is: Is a velvet sofa practical? Sure they look great, but will they stand the test of time and everyday use? Velvet used to be just the fabric for the most luxurious and exquisite environments, but we often think of velvet as being fragile and therefore difficult to care for. Well, we're here to tell you that's not true! Synthetic velvets, such as those made from high-quality polyester, are less likely to mark, fade or crush. So you get the authentic look and feel of velvet while providing extra protection.

Is the velvet sofa easy to clean? The simple answer is yes! Velvet sofas are easier to clean and maintain than you might think. For best results when cleaning, try to act as soon as a spill or mark appears. This is because it is much easier to clean the velvet before the imprint has soaked into the base fabric. All you need to use is a soft cloth and some warm soapy water, wiping in circular motions. Then, let the material air dry or use a hair dryer to speed up the process.

Absorb spills with absorbent cloths or kitchen towels before they sink to the top layer of fabric. You'll find that most liquids sit on the pile for a while in droplets before sinking.

Soak a clean cloth in a solution of warm water and a drop of washing liquid.

Pat the affected area lightly to remove any marks. If necessary, rub lightly in the direction of the velvet.

Avoid getting your velvet furniture too wet. It is best to use a hair dryer and dry the velvet very gently in a cool setting. Run your hands lightly to make sure the velvet doesn't dry in the wrong direction.

When considering which sofa to choose for your home, practicality and durability go hand in hand. That's why the 100% polyester short pile velvet we use in our sofa and furniture collections has been tested to 40,000 rubs so you know it's far from delicate. In short, if you are wondering: "Is a velvet sofa durable?", you have good news!

Velvet is also difficult to hook because it has no loose threads or raised weaves to snag on buttons or zippers. Many polyester velvets are stain-resistant, so light stains from food or dirt can be easily brushed away.

If you want to update the look and feel of your living area, a velvet sofa is the way to go. Due to the quality of the fabric, velvet instantly makes a room look more luxurious. The color of the velvet sofa is also much darker than the flat cotton and linen fabric. This is because velvet has a pile (this is the direction in which the piles of fibers lie) that catches and reflects light through shapes and folds, making the color look very rich and inviting.

Because velvet upholstery gently reflects light rather than absorbing it, a velvet bench is perfect for dark walls or small corners of a room. Velvet also looks great with a variety of finishes, from glossy brass and matte black to shiny gloss and chrome.

As we mentioned in point 1, velvet is soft to the touch. If you're still weighing the pros and cons of a velvet sofa, imagine this: pair this soft texture with luxurious sofa cushions and support arms and backs, and you've got yourself an irresistibly comfy seat!
