Styling your velvet sofa this winter

When it gets to this time of year, it's natural to want to make your home feel cosier than ever - and what better way to do that than with plush velvet pieces? If you've got a velvet sofa and fancy a style change, check out these simple-to-achieve looks that will freshen up your decor this winter.

Silver Overload

 For those real winter vibes, combining an abundance of grey and silver decor can create an elegantly chic look, reminiscent of a winter wonderland. You can use this look as a blank canvas - adding and taking away small bursts of colour such as cushions and florals when you fancy a decor change. Adding different textures and materials will make sure that this look doesn't become boring as well as making it fun to style.
