Sofa.com’s luxurious Smart Velvets collection
Rarely do pieces of furniture really feel as good as they look, but we’re making an exception for sofa.com’s collection of sit-on-and-sink-away velvet pieces.
Saturday two-and-a-half seat sofa in Peony pure cotton matt velvet, £1,840; Georgette footstool in Canary pure matt cotton velvet, £710; House scatter cushions in Peony, Deep Turquoise and Canary pure cotton matt velvets, £60 each; and Medium Dune rug in Blue, £109, all sofa.com
Sure to bat away any seasonal blues, the look this autumn is all about punchy, vibrant shades.
‘Whether you choose a sofa in a striking statement colour or opt for opulent jewel accent tones, rich fabrics in bold colours are the most reliable go-to for instant glamour,’ says Vanessa Hurley-Perera, chief product officer at sofa.com.
And while we thought the combination of seriously squishy shapes and luxuriously soft fabrics was already quite clever, the sofa giant has just rolled out a line of new Smart Velvets, which promise to be more durable and longer-lasting than ever before.
Each one is Teflon coated meaning they have a fabulous durable and resistant quality that prevents spillages from sinking into the fibres too quickly. At 80% cotton, they retain that really luxurious feel which can be absent from other Teflon coated velvets, and their short pile make them irresistibly soft to the touch.
So no matter how many box sets you hunker down to watch this winter, your sofa won’t show any sign of it. Clever, huh?
