Black Velvet Chairs & Armchairs

Will a black velvet chair suit my décor?

A black velvet chair has the power to instantly transform the look and feel of a room. The colour and material combine to add a certain boldness to your décor, providing a focal point that always draws the eye.

The best part? The rich texture and dramatic colour feels both inviting and chic in so many different décor styles.

In more minimalistic, Scandi-inspired spaces, the graphic contrast stands out against neutral walls and clean lines. For a more eclectic or maximalist look, it can ground a room filled with colour and pattern, adding a touch of sleek elegance. Pair it with warm metallic accents like brass or gold for a glamorous feel or let it stand as a confident statement piece all on its own.

 

What type of black velvet chair should I buy?

Even with a choice as specific as black velvet, we believe that you should be fussy about finding the perfect chair to complete your décor. That’s why we offer many different styles in our collection.

Maybe you’re looking to add a modern, playful touch to your living room; a swivel chair in black velvet could be exactly the right fit. Or perhaps you’d prefer something a tad more traditional, with the stately silhouette of a wingback chair. You could even just choose a beautifully-designed accent chair to complement your existing sofa set-up, either matching the black velvet or adding an eye-catching contrast.

 

How do I take care of my black velvet chair?

One of the great things about dark velvet is that you don’t need to be as vigilant in your maintenance; you’ll find marks and scuffs might not show as easily than on a more neutral shade. However, a little regular attention will keep the fabric looking and feeling its best.

To maintain the rich pile and prevent dust from settling, we recommend a light vacuum once a week using a soft brush attachment. If any spills happen, the key is to act quickly by gently blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth – never rub, as this can crush the velvet’s fibres. We always recommend using our specially formulated care kits to clean your sofa.
