In Pursuit of Velvet

We’re crushing on velvet, that sexy, rich fabric everyone wants to get their hands on. As regal as it is renegade, it comes in yummy colors now for luxe sofas, chairs and accent pillows. It’s an old tradition (fairy-tale capes and little red Christmas dresses) with a stylish new home life. Pile it on and sink right in – to the first blush of plush.
