Cool Down Your Design With Blue Velvet Furniture
Take cues from these designs on how to add a touch of regal sophistication to any space with blue velvet furniture.

If you’re a person who tends to shop for neutral, versatile pieces like me, seeing the words “blue” and “velvet” before "couch" may make you automatically write it off as too bold for your style. Think again.
The editors at HGTV have seen the trend of blue velvet furniture everywhere in the design world recently – and for good reason.

Blue velvet furniture is reminiscent of so many beautiful things – serene mountain landscapes, the deep blue sea and Kate Middleton's royal sapphire ring, just to name a few. The color blue is welcoming and calming, and it pairs well with pretty much any other color you can name – black, white, gray, orange, pink, green, yellow, tan and more. It goes with so many colors that it might as well be called a neutral. Blues also pop well against wood materials and metallic finishes. Combine the versatility of this color with the sumptuous quality of velvet, which quickly gives any space a touch of regal sophistication, and you have a pretty irresistible piece of furniture.
In spaces of different styles and velvet furniture of varying hues, check out rooms that do this design trend justice.
