Collection: Velvet Sofas

Why Furniture Maxi velvet sofas?

The living room is such an important space in your home – it’s where you relax, and it’s also where you entertain. For that reason, you need furniture that’s versatile.

That’s why, at Furniture Maxi, we work hard to ensure our opulent velvet sofas are affordably priced. We also stay on top of the latest design trends and carry a range of velvet sofas to suit your interior design and décor. Our Chesterfield sofas are refined but comfortable, with their clean lines providing real grace and elegance to your living room. And our Russel sofas merge classic and contemporary styles to draw the eye.

We carry 2 seater and 3 seater options available in different types including velvet sofa beds, velvet corner sofas, and velvet armchairs. And they come in a variety of colours such as grey, green, pink and blue velvet. Of course, if you’re not keen on velvet fabric sofas, then please do see our entire range of sofas and armchairs.

Which velvet sofa is right for you?

The furniture you choose will depend on the space you have available. Larger homes with expansive living rooms will enjoy a spacious 3 seater velvet sofa that offers room for everyone to relax. A 2 seater velvet sofa may be more suitable for compact rooms, so floor space can be maximised and the sofa itself doesn't feel too imposing or dominant.

Some of our velvet sofas also double up as a sofa bed, including our popular foldable sofa bed styles. They give you even more value for money and greater flexibility of use, especially if you know you’re going to be having guests spending the night. After all, it's your home, and the more practical your sofa is, the more it will benefit you.

Why we love velvet sofas

We’re big fans of velvet sofas because they have so much to offer. Their timeless appeal means they won't ever look dated, so whether you go for a grey, blue, or green velvet sofa, it will stand the test of time and adapt to your new interior choices. Plus, they go great with a velvet armchair or footstool!

A velvet sofa rarely clashes with other styles of fabrics and materials, giving you greater control over how you design your living room. Whether it's in a contemporary space with minimal décor and exposed light bulbs, or in a more traditional setting with conventional accessories, they have a warm and inviting appeal. Add on additional layers to the sofa to really personalise it as your own, blending the together textures and colour palettes that look and feel truly unique.

Another thing that is great about owning a velvet sofa is they are one of the cosiest styles around. When you want to huddle up under a blanket with the heating on and light a few candles, the textured feel of the material is hard to beat. Whether you're alone or with someone you can cuddle up with, it will soon become your favourite relaxing spot in the house.

There can also be a perception that a velvet sofa may not be practical for the family home. However, because the material does not feature loose threads or raised weaves it is much harder to snag, which is great news for pet owners. Velvet has a flat pile similar to what you'd see on a rug, ensuring the material is extremely durable. This makes cleaning much easier too, as dirt is much easier to brush away from the surface.

To clean velvet, simply use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment, or alternatively gently brush it each week to clear away any dirt. This allows the material to retain its wonderful sheen and keep the velvet sofa looking great in your home.
