Because it layers so beautifully with other textures and patterns (we see you,\u00a0leopard<\/a>), velvet presents an opportunity for colorful risk-taking. In her NYC pad, Jenna Lyons, the former Creative Director of J. Crew, opted for a modular sofa in pink velvet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nA POP OF AQUA<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/a_pop_of_aqua.jpg\")

When paired with an unexpected, complimentary wall color, this bold\u00a0Aqua Velvet Tuxedo Chair<\/a>\u00a0pops. It looks especially fresh when styled with a printed\u00a0Fawn Ottoman<\/a>. “I love our aqua velvet,” shares Britt Bunn, Co-Founder and COO of The Inside. “It layers beautifully with other blues for a strong color story and also easily pairs with other colors or neutrals as a singular pop of blue.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nDOUBLE THE FUN<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/double_the_fun-683x1024.jpg\")

In this New York City apartment, renowned design firm\u00a0Ashe Leandro<\/a>\u00a0drew inspiration from Milan-based Dimore Studio. The seductive lines of the Kagan sofa and vintage chairs (all in velvet, of course) work perfectly with the moody palette.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nTIMELESS COMFORT<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/timeless_comfort.jpg\")

While velvet often falls into autumn and winter trend reports, we are here to remind you of its timelessness. Case in point: the sunny and cozy townhouse of Alison Cayne, founder of Haven’s Kitchen. Clad in a dusty mustard velvet (it’s the perfect color!), her George Smith sofas set the tone for this chic and inviting space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“This earthy green has a beautiful, grounded effect against a crisp white back drop and warm wood floors,” says Danielle Walish, The Inside’s Creative Director. One of velvet’s best qualities is its versatility. Here, a modern silhouette (this bench<\/a>) juxtaposes the space’s traditional architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nSOFT AND SOPHISTICATED<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/soft_and_sophisticated.jpg\")

When considering where (and how) to decorate with velvet, the bedroom must not be ignored. “Our luxe bordeaux velvet sits perfectly on the\u00a0Modern Wingback Bed<\/a>. It offers a hotel-like elegance and layers so well with items you might already own (think kilim rugs and thrifted wooden pieces),” shares Ivy Zhang, The Inside’s Product Manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nYOUTHFUL ELEGANCE<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/youthful_elegance.jpg\")

Velvet is not just for your grandmother’s living room. It’s actually great for the little ones. In addition to its soft hand-feel, it’s really durable and wears well with time. This chic\u00a0Demilune Bed<\/a>\u00a0checks all the right boxes: it’s a twin; it comes in more than 100 playful hues; and it’s kid AND pet friendly. The same silhouette is available as a\u00a0headboard<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nCONTRASTING COLORS<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/contrasting_colors-792x1024.jpg\")

Photo:\u00a0Ivy Zhang<\/a><\/p>\nWhile colorful velvets often serve as a fabric staple in maximalist interiors (hello\u00a0Miles Redd<\/a>), it’s important to remember that they can serve as a singular pop of color in pared-down spaces. If you’re a minimalist who craves velvet, select one bold hue (Ocean Velvet<\/a>\u00a0is pictured above!) and pair it with a contrasting piece of abstract art. Opt for solids, simple finishes, and modern silhouettes in the rest of the space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nMIXED MATERIALS<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.theinside.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/mixed_materials.jpg\")
