Velvet: a unique and timeless fabric

Among the most popular fabrics there is velvet in interior design.

It is a soft, comfortable and warm texture, which over the years has been used for the creation of many high fashion garments as well as in the realisation of furnishings for the home and beyond. The name of this fabric derives from the Latin word “vellus“, meaning fleece, cloak or tosone. There are different types of velvet:

• the dévoré, which combines transparency with the typical fine pile.
• The courduroy, also known as corduroy.
• Velveton, also known as moleskin, that fabric used especially in sportswear, less so in interior decoration.
• The froissé, which looks almost crumpled and therefore offers different shades of colour.
• The soprarizzo, damask or chiselled.
• The jacquard, with patterns and decorations inserted directly into the weave of the fabric.

Velvet in interior design

Therefore, velvet is a refined fabric with special colours and an undeniable elegance. Using it in home furnishing is undoubtedly a choice of great refinement and aesthetic taste. It is well suited to different furnishing styles: from classic to modern, from contemporary to retro.

The fibres that go best with velvet armchairs and sofas are natural ones such as cotton and linen. The latter, with their lightness, soften the tones of this soft fabric and avoid making the room too heavy.

Wood, marble, brick are extremely different materials, but all perfectly suited to this beautiful, unique and timeless fabric.
