While luxurious velvet may be making a statement on the autumn runways, it can easily be translated from your wardrobe to your humble abode. If you’re aiming to decorate your space with plush, rich fabrics as the weather cools, there’s nothing quite like velvet accents for a gorgeous touch. This fall, incorporate velvety pieces into your home, and embrace the great indoors just in time for brisk, chilly temperatures.

Turn to dramatic velvet drapes in a plum colour: For an instantly royal effect, try accessorizing your living room with violet or plum-toned velvet drapes. Meanwhile, the look of white-painted windows, an ivory sofa and creamy throw blankets allows the dark, sensual purple colour to truly stand out.

Incorporate a navy blue accent pillow into your space: If you’re wondering how to decorate with the season’s moody blue shades, look no further than velvet accents. A dark blue velvet cushion can revitalize a striking white sofa, and bring the room to life. Turn to wooden cabinetry, a gold-plated mirror and neutral carpeting for the ultimate in autumn glamour.

Adorn your living room with an emerald green velvet sofa: For anyone who is tired of the classic leather couch, turning to jewel tones and velvet textures can help to energize your space. Use a brilliant emerald green velvet couch for a burst of colour, and contrast your vibrant furniture against a slim metallic coffee table and gold-detailed couch cushions.
