Soft, luxurious, and bohotastic? Yes please! We love a sumptuous velvet over here at Jungalow. Velvet isn’t just a texture you find on vintage 1960s pieces anymore. It’s making a major comeback and we totally see why. Velvet elevates any design with its opulent texture. It is woven and has a short, dense pile, which gives it that over-dyed deep hue. A bold jewel tone like saffron, emerald green, or ruby red really shines on a velvet piece.

Back in the day, velvet was only made of silk, which made it super pricey but today, it is produced with affordable materials like cotton so you can add a touch of luxury without breaking the bank! Plus, velvet is a really durable fabric.
You can use velvet anywhere: on pillows, furniture, upholster your walls with it, or make some drapes out of it. It ages well and the patina on it adds so much character and soul to a room.
