Trend: Velvet
With the popularity of retro-inspired décor, it seems 2016 is the year of the comeback, and the next blast-from-the-past to make a reappearance in our homes is velvet. The sumptuous fabric will instantly add some glamour to any setting and is perfect for upping the cosy factor in your living room or bedroom. Opt for crushed velvet to make a statement or plain velvet in a bold colour to add texture and interest to your scheme without the need for loud patterns. If you’re not feeling especially brave, a velvet cushion or throw in your favourite colour will add some much needed texture to cotton bedding or a leather sofa. And if you are feeling brave, don’t be afraid to go for a velvet sofa or headboard – they won’t date as quickly as you’d imagine and will bring a new level of comfort to your room.
