One of the hottest trends in interior decorating last year and continuing into 2019 is the reemergence of Velvet fabrics. \u00a0Many consider Velvet to be \u201cthe fabric of the year\u201d. \u00a0This multidimensional, rich and chic fabric has made it off the fashion runways and into our homes. \u00a0Velvet is luxurious yet durable and has an exquisite touch which has always endeared itself to design-lovers. \u00a0It\u2019s fanbase has been expanding recently so if you haven\u2019t jumped on the bandwagon it is time to reconsider this versatile fabric.<\/p>\n

Most historians believe Velvet originated in China around the Thirteenth Century and from there traveled west until it reached Italy and achieved its peak popularity during the Italian Renaissance. \u00a0Velvet was originally manufactured from silk resulting in an opulent fabric with an incredibly soft feel and an exceptionally high price tag. \u00a0Hence, it\u2019s royal history of robes and thrones.\u00a0 Today\u2019s Velvet is made from a variety of different materials including cotton, rayon and polyester. \u00a0This in turn has made it more affordable for those who don\u2019t possess a royal bloodline.<\/p>\n

Velvet\u2019s short, dense pile hasn\u2019t changed over the years, meaning its illustrious sheen and satiny softness endure. \u00a0Velvet is perfect in just about any room in the house from the living room to the bedroom (the only exceptions being the kitchen or the bathroom). \u00a0If you want to add an elegant and regal feel to your home, velvet should be at the top of your fabric list. \u00a0A sumptuous velvet curtain that puddles on the ground adds a stylish flair to a living room or dining room. \u00a0For an especially stunning look choose a color that will contrast against the wall.\u00a0 Velvet throw pillows are the perfect way to add color to a neutral sofa or chair.<\/p>\n

While velvet and wood always look great together, pairing your velvet with an equally luxe material like brass will instantly bring it into the current design atmosphere. \u00a0Velvet and brass are the ultimate design pairing. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for velvet and brass combinations with a modern feel try grommet panels with antique brass grommets. \u00a0Or for a timeless look, pinch pleated draperies hung on a decorative brass rod would radiate luxury.<\/p>\n
