Indulge in a little bit of luxury

With its plush, tactile fabric and beautifully bold colourways, a velvet sofa will transform your living space from drab to fab in an instant. Whether your style is maximalism, minimalism, or somewhere in between, adding a velvet sofa to your interiors is a guaranteed way to amplify your space and make a real statement.

'When you think of a velvet sofa you automatically think "luxurious", both in touch and design. The tactile fabric has become increasingly popular both in deep rich shades and understated neutrals, as design enthusiasts look to add a little opulence and luxury to their scheme,' says Gisela Lancaster, head of buying at Sofology.

The good thing about choosing to invest in a velvet sofa is that the wide choice of colourways will enable you to really personalise your space and create cohesion within your home. There's a huge variety of designs available too, so whether you want a versatile modular sofa or a family-orientated corner sofa, you'll find a velvet option to suit.

Styling velvet takes very little effort, too. 'Whether it takes centre stage, or is used on an accent piece, velvet is extremely versatile,' Gisela continues. 'It's the perfect vehicle for carrying a scheme; offering both comfort and the ability to carry rich colour, it can be dressed up with statement wallpapers, paint and textiles or, if you want to hero your furniture, pair upholstery pieces with calm neutrals.'

Velvet sofas are both luxurious and versatile, but it's important that this tactile material is cleaned carefully. Gisela advises: 'Velvet does need to be treated with extra care, but it can be a durable option if well looked after. It's key to regularly hoover your sofa to remove surface dirt, and if spills do occur make sure you blot the stain and then use warm water and baking soda to remove stains. Regularly plumping your cushions will also help maintain your sofa.'
