What to Look For in a Blue Velvet Sofa

Type of Velvet

When it comes to velvet, there are a few different types to consider, each of which offers its own benefits in regards to color, care, and durability.

“Synthetic is going to be better if you have kids/and or pets,” says Emily Henderson, an interior designer, noting the color on synthetic picks won't fade as quickly. “But if you prefer a thicker, more matte velvet, then cotton is the way to go.”

Regardless of the type you choose, be sure to double-check the piece's care and cleaning instructions to ensure it's doable for you.

Color

Whether you prefer a deep navy hue or a dreamy light blue shade, there are plenty of blues to choose from. In addition to your décor style, consider if you have any pets or children, as well as if it'll be placed in a high-traffic area—if so, darker shades that'll hide stains and wear and tear may be better options.

“There are a bunch of different shades out there some with green undertones, some with purple," Henderson says. "So knowing what you are looking for will make your search/decision making easier.”

Style

Blue velvet sofas are offered in a variety of styles, from classic chesterfield designs to more modern options. When choosing a style, it's worth noting if you plan to use it as an accent piece or as seating for entertaining. If you foresee it being used in a high-traffic room in your home, sectionals and other larger options will make a great fit. On the other hand, if you're furnishing an office or a less-used space, loveseats or more decorative options will be better for the space.

FAQS

How do you style a blue velvet sofa?

A velvet sofa makes a statement on its own, but there are still plenty of ways to style it based on your personal design preferences.

“A velvet sofa is probably more versatile than you think,” says Meyer. “I believe you can dress it up or dress it down, depending on the accents you choose. “

For instance, Meyer says if you want to add a touch of luxury, you can dress it up with some silks and woven fabrics. But if you’re leaning more towards a casual appeal, she recommends layering patterns and chunky textures.

How do you clean a blue velvet sofa?

Cleaning a velvet sofa is not entirely different than any other sofa, but it still requires a bit of care. Though you should always check the sofa's recommended care instructions, you can either opt for professional cleaning or easy at-home remedies.

“Avoid dabbing or rubbing,” says Henderson, noting she recommends placing an absorbent cloth over any minor spills. “If it’s a dried stain, good ole soap and water are great.”

In addition to spot cleaning, Henderson also suggests vacuuming regularly, especially sofas in darker blue shades.

Can you have a velvet sofa if you have kids or pets?

Synthetic velvet is a great option for people with kids or pets that still want that cool, sophisticated aesthetic that the velvet sofa introduces. In addition, the sofa color can make a key difference.

“The one thing we find with dogs/cats is that their hair sometimes creates a strong contrast to the fabric. This is true with all fabrics," says Meyer. "If your pet loves to sit on the sofa, think about the shade of blue strategically!”
