Velvet is often used for refined spaces, it may be upholstered furniture or drapes, and this roundup will show you some gorgeous velvet sofas that you will want to get for your home. But first let’s find out some pros and cons of such sofas.
What Are Velvet Upholstery Pros And Cons?
Velvet upholstery can last for decades if treated with care and love. You don’t have to worry about discoloration as the color of your velvet upholstered furniture won’t fade away with time. This material is both aesthetically pleasing and soft to touch. This common upholstery fabric is available in various colors. Food and mud stains can be easily removed from velvet furniture.
Velvet is prone to attract dust particles, which is why it needs to be cleaned regularly. The same goes for pet fur. It is not suitable for outdoor use, as velvet does not fare well under direct sunlight. Velvet upholstered furniture can absorb liquid spills rather quickly.
