Velvet has made a huge comeback this winter. Not just when it comes to fashion but also in the décor space.
Lize Viljoen who is the senior furniture buyer for @Home says, "The abundance of velvet is one of the most prominent trends right now". Especially in jewel tones.
She adds that you may want to offset "the softness of a neutral home interior palette," by using bold, brave colours on both walls and furniture pieces. The idea here is that "bold pigments in soft velvets create a striking contrast to moody interiors."
Here are a few of our recommendations:
1. Cushions
Start small if you're not allowed to change the colour of your walls or have little money to spend on bigger furniture pieces
