It’s that time of year, we’ve had summer solstice and we are waiting for the sun to put his hat on, therefore it is without doubt time for summer velvets! In the meantime, our love affair with velvet continues. Discover some velvet brights that are sure to wet your appetite and give you some fun bright inspiration. We have amalgamated quite the selection of velvets and added in our expert styling tips to give you something to think about!

Sunshine Yellow

There’s no wonder that the colour of happiness is yellow, all things sunshine yellow! What a wonderful way to inject some happiness into your home with an exquisitely bright sunny velvet. Our styling tip would be the Holmfirth in Varese Primrose, for a really eclectic interior why not pair the sofa with tropical trinkets, birds of paradise and mystical jungle creatures with scatter cushions of teal and blue, should you feel particularly daring why not add some animal print. This is enough to put a smile on anybody faces, even in a grey day.

Leafy Greens

Leafy greens are good for everyone, not only on your plate but in your living space as well! Green velvets are extremely popular, we’ve seen emerald tones, forest greens, moss greens. Let us now explore a slightly fresher approach, may I introduce to you crisp grass green on the form of The Kentwell in Napoli Grass! It’s crisp and wonderfully calming. Sticking with the natural soothing vibe our choice of styling would be to include organic materials, using rattans, plenty of plants and if your lucky enough to have exposed brick work let the rawness show through, if you haven’t fake it til you make it with Arthouses City Brick wallpaper in white.

Pretty in Hot Pink

Pretty in Hot Pink, why ever not! It is summer after all so let’s keep things HOT off the press!  Is this not every girls dream to be the proud owner of a hot pink velvet sofa? Our Grassington sofa in Portland Fuschia is just the ticket… Oozing classical style this sofa is surprisingly versatile, its classic lines give it a timeless air of elegance, the bright pink velvet instils the fun, playful factor, add in gold tones and / or some monochromatic accessorise and POW, you’ve packed yourself a hot pink punch!

Burnt Orange

The burnt orange tone of our Stourhead in Portland velvet Burnt Orange is rich and strong. It is in no doubt a statement sofa to be reckoned with. This particular velvet looks fabulous with the ethnic nomad vibe that’s been trending in 2019. Pair the sofa with printed ceramics and woven textiles, with warm rich wall colours, complimentary colour of indigo blues and spiced reds. This vibe will carry through all seasons handsomely.

In a nutshell there are so many playful ways to experiment with velvets when choosing your dream sofa. It really is a case of anything goes. There is a velvet for every occasion, especially now that velvets are so very durable and long lasting. Even a wine spillage is not match for todays clever velvets!
