10 Reasons why velvet is always a good idea

 

Velvet Love: Why velvet will never go out of style

As an interiors passionate, I’m always on the lookout for those timeless touches that can completely transform a space without the need for major renovations or overhauls. And if there’s one material that never fails to bring instant warmth, elegance, and that luxurious “je ne sais quoi” to a room, it’s velvet.

I’ve always had a soft spot for velvet. There’s just something magical about the way it catches the light, changes tone depending on the angle, and instantly makes a space feel more special and comfy.

It’s a fabric that has been adored for centuries, and honestly? It’s never going out of style.
Here are 10 reasons why:

 

1: It’s timeless. Always.

Velvet has graced royal palaces, chic apartments, and modern lofts for centuries. It’s classic, not a trend.

2:
Instant luxury

Even the simplest piece, like a cushion or a stool, feels instantly more luxurious when it’s in velvet - specially if it is a high quality 100% cotton velvet, as the ones we use.

I always say that small changes can have a big impact, and adding a velvet piece in my home decor is one of the easiest ways to elevate the interiors without overdoing it.

Your home is your sanctuary, it deserves the best home talismans
...and you deserve to feel happy and calm living it.
