At Home In Velvet

Not all that glitters is gold– sometimes it’s velvet. The sleek shine, the rich and lush texture that drapes with the dramatic heft of a renowned operatic singer: velvet is the decadent treat we could all use this year. The fabric works any time of year, but fits the holiday season especially well. And even though Thanksgiving is still weeks away, this year I think we can all benefit from starting the holiday celebration a little early, and velvet is the best (if not the most subtle) way to do it. 

Like an ornament on a christmas tree, velvet glimmers with spirit and style. And at Rockin Cushions, we’ve compiled a list of all the ways you can bring the lush fabric into your home for the holidays. Deck the halls with velvet, starting with:
