Velvet Cushions

Styling with Velvet Cushions

We offer one of the largest collections of velvet cushions Australia has to offer. All of our designs are irresistible to touch, which makes them a great fabric to incorporate into your home. They are surprisingly versatile and can be integrated easily into an existing decor scheme. Whether your style is modern, contemporary, traditional or transitional, our velvet cushions offer amazing suppleness, style and opulence.

The fabric reflects and glimmers beautifully in light, and makes colour look richer and deeper. Round velvet cushions can add a sophisticated, cinematic flair to a warm earthy palette and can pair well with other luxe cushion designs. For an especially stunning look, choose sumptuous bright pink velvet cushions or other vibrant tones like red, orange, yellow or green to add some oomph to a white settee. Bold hues make the neutral fabric pop, while the velvet finish adds a touch of texture and accentuates the character of the composition.

Because velvet is a universal fabric, it pairs easily with other materials. It coordinates especially well with textiles used in premium designer cushion covers, and mixes well with various couch fabrics. For instance, blue velvet cushions bring a sense of comfort and luxury to a leather couch and help break up the strong lines and angular shape. Think brown modern chesterfield sofa layered with matching warm velvet cushion covers. The velvet finish brings a note of glamour while maintaining the overall refined aesthetics.

Create a rich luxurious look

If your style veers contemporary, luxury velvet cushions in neutral hues provide a delicate touch to a beautiful deep-coloured sofa. Velvet also pairs beautifully with leather chairs. If your walls and furniture are on the neutral side, you’ll want to opt for velvet pillows in strong, saturated tones like warm reds, browns, earthy greens, and mustard yellows. Remember that contemporary spaces are about texture and sophisticated materials. Hints of gold and mustard accents will add a layer of interest and sparkle to the overall scheme.

For a rather rich and glamorous aesthetic, velvet is the perfect fabric to layer all over your living space. Try styling your room with gold velvet cushions partnered with bold jewel tones like ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst. The mix of chic and rich textures such as silk, wool and faux fur is a key element in the composition of this style. Bring in crystal light fixtures, one or two faux fur stools, and elaborate metallic ornaments for a posh finishing touch.

Large velvet cushions in geometric patterns bring a touch of eye-catching drama to a pared-back living space. They are perfect pieces to use as floor decorative accents and offer so much warmth and texture. Balance deep royal blue, duck egg blue, charcoal grey and earthy greens with warming amber accents to create depth. Velvet floor styles also work brilliantly in a dark scheme, because the lustre of the fabric reflects light, making the room look and feel elegant as well as inviting.

In a living room with a white colour palette, black velvet cushions bring sophistication in the right measure. If all other materials are opaque and discreet, they become the leading characters. Overall, monochromatic schemes are timeless and the look doesn’t have to be over the top. If you like to keep things simple but exciting, mix different textures and patterns to break things up and add interest to your space. Opt for both geometric and block colours. Chevron, stripes and diamond patterns work really well in a black and white scheme.

Alternatively, you can opt for dark velvet furnishings to add an interesting element to a pale and minimal room scheme. A stunning contrast between clean white walls, a deep grey sofa and navy velvet cushions works beautifully. The dark shade and plush texture lend real depth and contrast to the neutral palette. Balance out this lovely contrast by introducing natural materials like rustic wood, jute, rattan or even woven wall hangings. This will provide textural dimension and ground your velvet pieces in a neutral setting.

Combine velvet with other textures

To nail an eclectic look that still feels current, it’s essential to mix different textures and materials together. Wall surfaces with rustic textures together with natural wood flooring create an unexpected setting. Work your plush textures around this scheme — for example, a deep mustard velvet sofa covered in a similar soft texture of teal velvet cushions makes striking partners to the natural elements. Incorporate several pink cushions along with others in plush, peach, olive green and soft greys then use brass accents to complete your eclectic living space.

More than decoration, velvet pillows can instantly provide a cosy place to relax without being overbearing. Lighter colours work best in the creation of a more understated look that still maintains its sophisticated flair. Grey velvet cushions are great accents to cool down your design and still make it look pretty irresistible. They partner well with pretty much any other colour, and still hold their place against wood materials and metallic finishes. Simply work with grey in varying shades for more depth, or you can always mix with more saturated velvet colours to create an entirely different look.

Earthy tones also have the same effect. Green, for, example, is reminiscent of many things like soothing forests and mountain landscapes. It is welcoming and calming, therefore can be used to create a laid-back and casual vibe. In their lighter, more earthy tones, green velvet cushions can be used to create a style that is relaxing and serene — and in more saturated and bold tones, they can give any space a touch of regal elegance. Combine various shades of green cushion covers with the luxe quality of velvet and you have yourself brilliant, varying degrees of style.

Moreover, velvet serves as a strong base to different fabric combinations. It pairs effortlessly well with light cotton, natural linen and soft boucle fabrics. Its super-rich look can make any other fabric feel full of luscious style and warmth. Jewel-toned purple velvet cushions are a perfect backdrop for linen designs in softer pinks, greens and blues. When styling a room in a mix of fabrics and textures, ensure they are complementary to each other. The look should feel cohesive, not too heavy on one type of fabric.

Too much velvet can overwhelm a space and can age your overall scheme. If your living space consists of a linen sofa and hard finishes like metal accents and dark wood, velvet can be incorporated to help anchor the space and add drama. Brightly coloured cotton and knits in navy and emerald green add a stylish touch to mustard velvet cushions. Alternatively, you can pair mustard with pale grey or neutral-toned cotton-linen for a look that’s casual yet refined.

The perfect material for the bedroom

In addition, velvet can bring an unexpected pop of warmth in the bedroom as it softens the room, looks plush and is nice to touch. Introduce velvet fabrics to anchor your bed cushions and the overall scheme, use it to bring comfort to a small bedroom couch, or layer on the bed for a cosy and inviting display. If chic and sophisticated flair are what you gravitate towards, style your bedroom with a mix of fabrics and textures in soothing neutral tones, and bring in a pop of colour for visual interest. For instance, yellow velvet cushions can add a pop of sunshine in a neutral setting.

This unexpected pop of colour adds a fun contrast to an otherwise muted colour palette. Plus, a single hint of colour is a great way to experiment before fully committing to using more intense saturated hues. It’s also easy to swap out velvet cushion covers if your backdrop is on a more neutral side. On the other hand, the scheme of your bedroom can take on a more moody role. Think dark midnight blue walls, charcoal grey furnishings and deep, saturated red velvet cushions to sharpen up the overall colour palette.

To enhance a bedroom space with an all-white colour palette, there is nothing quite as eye-catching as bold and bright velvet designs. Orange can be a fun colour to incorporate — it is modern and just bold enough to make a punch without feeling too overbearing. Think bronze pendant lights, stools with interesting frames in a soft, velvet finish and a splash of orange velvet cushions. They are sure to add a nice dose of energy to any neutral bedroom scheme.
