Velvet has always represented a perfect blend of beauty and grandeur. You cannot imagine royalty on either side of the planet without a touch of velvet in their clothes or accessories. So why not bring the same feel of richness in the décor of your house? And what better way can you find to do this other than placing little velvet cushions in strategic positions?
You can buy velvet cushions online and decorate many parts of your home. Starting from your sofa to your master bed in your comfortable suite, velvet cushions can also be placed in certain corners of the house, can adorn a grand dining table set or can just be used a hugging companion on chilly nights! The uses of these cushions are plenty. And so is their variety available.
1. You have the regular shaped square or rectangular velvet cushions that are of 1 uniform color. Usually in dark shades such as a bright orange, deep red or royal blue, these cushions are perfect to complement those rooms that have sparse or natural-tones furnishings. Velvet cushions can also be matched up with any kind of flooring in your house. Whether you have marble, wooden or any other kind of flooring, cushions can be used with them all.
2. A little improvisation to the regular cushions would be the ones with a depressed center accentuated with a large button, either plain or in a particular design, say a large flower or the head of an animal. Again, these are less of prints and designs and the sheer beauty of velvet is enhanced when those creases create lines of luster radiating from the center of the cushion.
3. Mostly plain cushions when highlighted on the sides by borders, say in a traditional floral vine pattern, can add a touch of design to its grand look. Apart from side designs, you also nowadays can find cushions, again in one block color, made more attractive by geometric patterns woven on their face. Simple, widely spaced flowers, random patterns or one large embossed pattern, for example of a tree or a majestic animal like a lion or an elephant, can also add to the richness of the cushion.
4. Ribbing adds texture and beauty to a velvet cushion. The technique can either be used on a plain or printed velvet cushion. A perfect example of its use would be in vertical, parallel lines in contrasting colors like fuchsia and copper made to look more stunning with horizontal ribbing.
5. Traditional motifs such as those used in traditional South Indian silk saris or in olden days Mughal paintings can also be used on velvet cushions. More suitable for grand homes and to be matched with the rest of the rooms décor, printed velvet cushions can be a great source of color and design to bring to accentuate the décor of the rest of the room. So if, for example, the rest of the room is done in shades of blue, you can add velvet cushions displaying a peacock in several poses showing off its brilliant array of feathers in contrasting blues and greens.
Fabric such as velvet in itself is beautiful to look at and hold. But when you have a perfectly finished cushion with appropriate tucks, ties or zippers, with ruched materials on the sides and with perfectly rounded edges, you have a perfect accessory to be strewn lazily throughout the room and enhance its attractiveness.
