When we think of velvet- we may automatically flash back to the awkward disco age and cringe. We urge you to think differently however- as velvet furnishings done right can truly add something special to your home. Historically associated with nobility and grandeur, velvet was worn by the in-crowd during the Renaissance years. Velvet is one of the most luxurious fabrics around, in both texture and drape; heavy enough to hang elegantly, conforming to curves and falling gracefully over corners, it is eminently suitable for formal clothing, for drapery and for furniture upholstery. The most immediately striking feature of velvet is its rich coloring- the play between light and shadows created by the pile make for remarkably intense hues; even from a distance, it looks luxurious and tempting. We’re loving the look of sleek, velvet furniture these days. Below is a snap of our sales listing on Highland Road in Tiverton which fortunately the owner has a knack for interior decor! We invite you to take a look at some other gorgeous velvet pieces!
