It's All About Velvet.

The Milan furniture fair has called it. It's all about velvet this season. If you are thinking about your parents old ugly velvet sofa from the 1970's forget it, we are talking modern pieces with high quality fabrics in fabulous colours.

Globe West furniture one of our favourite suppliers has a whole range of velvet pieces from dining chairs, bench seats, sofas and more.

There are stunning colours available from pale pink, mushroom tones to emerald green and greys. The soft texture of velvet suits any colour palette. Velvet has traditionally been used in a more conservative interior design but these days it certainly has a much more modern application.

A velvet sofa can be a real feature in your interior and a great starting point for adding colour.
