Velvet Green Sofas: everyone’s doing it and here’s why you should too.

This week House and Home asked us to share our latest colour crush.  It took me 1.3 seconds to decide (ok, maybe not that long): velvet green sofas.  They work with almost any colour scheme and they look just as perfect in a modern room as they do in a traditional one. Some of you may be thinking…seriously?? – but trust me, once you see these photos, you will be smitten.

Pairing this jewel tone green sofa with dark blue paint (Behr Restless Sea) creates a moody and romantic living room.

Looking for a lively, vintage vibe.  These punches of pink and that luscious green are a match made in heaven!

Jonathan Adler shows us how green pairs beautifully with classic black and white to create some drama.

In this room, the velvet chairs skew more towards an olive green colour – perfect for creating a modern, mid century vibe.  Anyone up for a Manhattan?

The velvet green sofa helps to keep this room feminine but not overly sweet.  Love how the curled profile of the sofa and table are offset by the square chairs – so chic!

Now this is how to fuse upscale and tropical! Everything from the black and white tiles, to the palm print pillows, to the velvet sofa, to the touches of gold –  this room delivers tropical luxury.

This cheery room is bright and bursting with colour.  The dark green retro feel sofa is the perfect addition.
