I get what you are saying - velvet does seem like an unconventional choice when it comes to home decor! That said, if used correctly, it can also be the one thing that sets your home apart from the rest… Don’t be afraid of experimenting with this plush fabric. I can think of the following ways to use it…

Using a dark colored velvet couch in a pale space can create a dramatic effect.

If you do not want velvet in large furniture pieces, you can go or smaller elements like side chairs. They will be a perfect addition to your living room. You can use some contrasting shades or textures to make the space more elegant.
