We have always had a love affair with velvet. It is lush, it is regal, it is immensely comfortable. But once we discovered it is also (who knew?) kid friendly, it became clear we were in it with velvet for life. I can’t even tell you how many spills I have cleaned off of our red velvet sofa. (This one, for the record, is a client’s who also happens to have three young children). Of course, stay away from silk or linen velvet but now that we mention it, those actually develop a beautiful been-in-the-family-generations patina as they wear. So really, all velvet is game.
