Velvet Couches

Velvet couch styles and shapes

A velvet couch works in both classic and modern rooms, and the shape sets the tone. Chesterfield sofas, with deep button tufting and rolled arms, are among the styles here and suit traditional or glam rooms.

Curved sofas soften a modern space, and clean-lined couches fit almost any setting. Select models recline, and some add USB charging, cup holders or a center console.

Velvet sofa sizes and seating

A velvet sofa here can be a compact loveseat for a small room or a large sectional for a family. Widths run 41.3 to 137.8 inches, and select models have a deep seat for lounging.

Leave about 18 inches between the sofa and a coffee table and around 30 inches for walkways. Select sleeper sofas open into a queen or king size bed, and some models include storage.

Velvet sectional couch options

A velvet sectional couch seats more people along a corner or across a room. Some models here are L-shaped or U-shaped, some are modular so the pieces can be rearranged, and select models include an ottoman or need no assembly.

Green velvet couch and other colors

A green velvet couch, from olive to deep green, is a popular choice, and velvet's sheen makes rich colors look deeper. Gray is the most common color here, followed by brown, green, beige and black, with cream, blue, red, white, pink and orange also available.

Darker shades hide everyday wear better, while light colors brighten a room but show marks sooner. A velvet couch in a strong color also pairs well with neutral walls and a simple rug.

Care and construction for velvet couches

Velvet couches stay looking their best with regular vacuuming using a soft brush attachment and quick blotting of spills with a clean dry cloth. Brush the pile gently in one direction to lift pressure marks, and check the care label before using any cleaner.

Construction varies. Some frames use solid wood such as pine, often with plywood panels, and some add a metal frame, so check each listing's construction line.
