Design Crush :: Velvet Sofas

design crush // velvet sofas #interiors #blue

As the cooler weather roles in I find myself gravitating to certain textiles. One in particular is velvet. Love this soft, textured fabric on sofas in particular. I’ve pulled a few of my favorite interiors featuring velvet sofas and as you will see the textile look great in just about any color and style.

Known for mixing modern and vintage elements, Catherine Kwong selects a sofa in a deep marine blue velvet for urban living room. The tufting is beautifully executed and allows the velvet to shimmer. If you like this look, check out West Elm’s Chester Sofa (disclosure: affiliate link) in performance velvet.

Great Quality Sofas :: 5 Favorite Sources

interior design tip

I agree with interior designer, Graciela Rutkowski about splurging on your family room sofa. It’s a piece that will get tons of use and it’s worth investing in the right one for your family. Her quote has raised some good questions too. One in particular from a Simplified Bee Facebook fan asking for recommendations on which retailers had the best quality sofas. I’ve narrowed down the long list to five of my favorite couches that are well made, stylish and affordable – all of which you can purchase online.

best sofa brands - Serena & Lily

Serena & Lily carries high quality upholstered furniture including sofas. My favorite is the Miramar. It’s a great casual, yet chic style. Serena & Lily have tons of fabric options to choose from to get that custom look too!

best sofa brands online

Room & Board is a fave because of it’s wide selection and quality. The Loring sofa tops my list because of it’s timeless appeal, flared arm and tight back. Room & Board also offering a good selection of fabrics.

great quality sofas MG+BW

Known for state-of-the-art-construction, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams strive to deliver truly comfortable furniture. Their sofas are some of the best and most stylish. My personal fave of the day is the Blackwell. It has a traditional look I love.

best sofa retailers online

Horchow makes the list because they carry a wide selection of stylish brands (all top notch quality). The tufted back of this chic sofa by Bernhardt caught my eye and I love that it’s American made.

quality sofas online - west elmWest Elm makes my list because their price-point is so affordable. Their sofas are a great choice for the newlywed and family with tiny tots running around. West Elm has a terrific sofa selection, but my current fave is the Blake.  I particularly like the single seat cushion, tailored (but loose) back cushions and timeless look.

 Happy decorating!
