The sofa
Velvet is THE fabric of choice for 2018, carrying through to 2019 for sure! The trend for bold, rich coloured velvet furniture pieces is strong but so often we get scared to invest in big furniture pieces in daring colours! Why not meet the trend half way, choose velvet but in a timeless grey.
