Velvet in the interior
Almost every material has its own charm, its charm. And this charm is not to be missed. It must be used, but only in a way that is appropriate and stylish, otherwise what you thought was charming and attractive may lose these features. A very striking example is velvet. Now velvet is actively returning its popularity.
Designers roll their eyes in delight, recalling the look and texture of this material. Velvet itself is very expressive, refined, expensive. It is pleasant not only in appearance, tactile sensations are also on top. But you need to know how to use it, otherwise it will look out of place and ridiculous. Imagine velvet in a loft-style interior - completely opposite things, don't you think? Therefore, before introducing it into the interior of your home, think about whether it is appropriate there. If yes, then do not hesitate, but take the opportunity to refresh the interior. In this article we will tell you how to use velvet in the interior most effectively.
Accents
Velvet is a rather "heavy" material, so you should not overdo it. Best of all, it looks exactly as an accent, since it is not suitable for the base, precisely because of its expressiveness. A room with too much velvet will not look as sophisticated and expensive as it could if velvet were used sparingly. On the contrary, the room will look dusty, oversaturated. So in the living room, one velvet sofa or velvet armchair is enough, depending on the size of the room, to make the room look sophisticated.
Curtains
Velvet curtains are a great option for spacious rooms. For small rooms in general, velvet is not very suitable, only if in very limited quantities. The advantage of such curtains is that they are dense, voluminous, flowing. They will perfectly protect the room from the sun, and create an aristocratic interior accent, which is also important.
Shades
Velvet looks best in deep, expressive colors - burgundy, purple, emerald, sapphire, etc. These colors allow you to fully reveal the special structure of this material and show its best side. However, let's be honest, not every person wants to see such colors in the interior, and not every interior will suit such colors. Fortunately, in neutral, pastel colors, this material looks quite interesting. Beige, dusty pink, gray-blue - these colors are better suited for a modern interior, and will look good even in the bedroom.
Other materials
Despite all the nobility, velvet is a rather capricious material. So in the interior it is not combined with all materials. For example, it will not look very good with plastic and glass. It is quite difficult to combine it with metal. Natural wood, leather, smooth cotton, silk are best suited for velvet.
