Velvet sofas are back with a vengeance! Get it on this hot interior trend. Here’s where to shop them
If isn’t obvious by now, we’ll say it again: we LOVE a good statement chair. But we’re not just talking about armchairs. We mean sofas too. Be bold with your home interiors and it’ll majorly pay off. Take the velvet sofa. This classic seating is back, and in bright, bold hues, no less. Here are the furniture stores in Singapore to shop them.
Greco sofa 2.5 seater from Originals
Although we’ve come to know (and love) Originals as a haven for teak wood, nomadic furniture, the cult furniture store is also home to luxury pieces, like the Greco sofa. Brass legs and the deep blue velvet fabric kick the blah out of any plain living room.
$2350, from Originals
3 seater plus Customised Chesterfield from Finn Avenue
We love a good old Chesterfield. With its tufting and curved arms, this customisable three-seater settee is a classic that won’t go out of style. The colour N69A is the perfect shade of dark green for moody botanical feels. All you need are a couple of over-the-top leafy indoor plants to complement it.
$2590, from FinnAvenue
Modern Artisan Bellevue Sofa by Caracole from Taylor B
First commissioned by the Earl of Chesterfield in the 17th century, this Chesterfield sofa is blanketed in a luxurious velvet with a silky sheen. Three down filled pillows (made with linen and velvet) are included with your sofa.
$4795, Taylor B, 43 Keppel Road, Singapore 099418
IKEA Stockholm sofa
If you love the feel of luxe velvet on your skin, but not the stiff structure of a Chesterfield, you’ll love IKEA’s Stockholm sofa. Dressed in a warm blue velvet, both the seat and back cushions give you the support you need, as they’re filled with high resilience foam and polyester fibres. Turn the reversible back cushions often, so the fabric wears evenly on all sides.
$2390, IKEA, Locations in Tampines and Queenstown
