Velvet Sofas

A velvet sofa changes the whole mood of a room—richer colour, softer texture, and a more “finished” look without needing a lot of décor. The Brick has to offer velvet couches, velvet loveseats, and velvet sectionals that suit everything from modern spaces to retro and glam living rooms.

Velvet is popular because it looks luxurious while still feeling cozy for everyday lounging. Many people also love how velvet holds colour, making shades like navy, emerald, and charcoal look especially deep.

Velvet couch colours that stand out

Colour is half the reason to buy velvet. If you want your sofa to be the statement piece, start here.

• Green velvet sofa: Adds drama and warmth at the same time, especially with brass or wood accents.
• Blue velvet couch: Works beautifully in both modern and classic rooms; navy reads sophisticated and grounded.
• Grey velvet sofa: A safe, versatile choice that still feels elevated because of the velvet texture.
• Black velvet couch: Bold and sleek, best when balanced with lighter walls or a brighter rug.

Velvet sectionals and other shapes

Velvet comes in more than just standard sofas, and the right shape matters as much as the fabric.

Velvet sectional sofa

A velvet sectional is ideal when you want a statement piece that also seats more people. It’s a strong fit for open-concept living rooms because the fabric brings softness and the sectional shape helps define the seating zone.

Velvet sectional with chaise

A chaise version is made for movie nights and lounging. You get that “feet-up” seat without needing a separate ottoman, and velvet makes the whole setup feel extra cozy.

Velvet loveseat

A velvet loveseat is perfect for apartments, condos, or adding a second seat across from your main sofa. It’s also an easy way to bring velvet into the room without committing to a full sectional.

Is velvet practical for everyday homes?

Velvet is more doable than many people assume, but it does like regular upkeep. Cleaning guides commonly recommend routine vacuuming and gentle brushing to keep the pile looking smooth and to prevent dust from dulling the fabric.

If you have pets, velvet can attract hair and the pile can be vulnerable to claw marks, so choosing a more durable velvet (often synthetic/performance options) and keeping claws trimmed can help.

How to care for a velvet sofa

A few habits keep velvet looking fresh:

• Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment to remove dust and crumbs.
• Brush gently in the direction of the pile to revive the nap and reduce “pressure marks.”
• Treat spills quickly; most care guidance stresses handling soiling immediately before it sets.

Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment for routine cleaning, and gently brush the fabric in the direction of the pile; address spills quickly before they set.

Is velvet a good choice if I have pets?

It can work, but pet hair can cling and claws can damage the pile, so choosing a more durable velvet and keeping claws trimmed is often recommended.

They can—especially a chaise-style sectional—if you keep the rest of the furniture slim and leave a clear walkway around the seating area.
