Velvet upholstery fabric is a plush, woven textile with a dense pile that creates its signature soft feel and subtle shimmer. Crafted from a range of fibers including cotton, silk, or synthetics, this fabric has long been associated with luxury and high-end design. Velvet not only provides visual richness but also adds dimension and comfort to upholstered furniture, cushions, and accent pieces.
Beauty of Textured Velvet
What sets velvet apart is its tactile nature. Textured velvet—such as crushed velvet, embossed velvet, and strié styles—adds an extra layer of depth and movement to your furniture. These variations catch the light beautifully and give upholstered items a dynamic, luxurious presence. Whether you prefer a subtle texture or a bold statement, Mood's velvet collection offers a wide array of finishes to complement your design.
Uses for Fabric Upholstery Velvet
The versatility of fabric upholstery velvet makes it a favorite among designers and DIY decorators. This fabric can transform a plain sofa into a show-stopping centerpiece or make a simple bench feel grand. It's ideal for upholstering headboards, ottomans, accent chairs, and even statement wall panels. Velvet is also often used for decorative pillows and soft furnishings that call for both beauty and comfort.
For added elegance, consider cut velvet upholstery—a special variety where patterns are cut into the pile, creating contrast between flat and raised areas. This technique gives the fabric a distinctive texture and makes it perfect for adding visual interest to seating, cushions, or decorative panels. Our patterned velvet upholstery fabric selections include damasks, geometrics, florals, and more to help you make a striking statement.
