Velvet Curtain Designs Are Back: 5 Ways To Style Them

Velvet curtain designs: There was a time when velvet was used only for upholstery or furniture and cushions, but now finally, it is also used for curtains. Velvet curtains are redefining modern interiors by adding a sense of warmth, comfort, and understated opulence.

5 Ways To Style Velvet Curtains

Here are five ways you can style velvet curtains beautifully in your space, as per Raghunandan Saraf, Founder and CEO, Saraf Furniture.

1. Deep Jewel Tones for Classic Elegance

Rich-coloured velvet curtains in hues like emerald green, navy blue, and burgundy bring depth and drama to a room. They work particularly well when combined with wooden or neutral-toned furniture: the contrasting tones really bring out the grain and texture of the wood, creating a timeless, inviting space.

2. Soft Pastels for Modern Serenity

Velvet curtains in soft hues of blush pink, dove grey, or sage green provide a soothing and sophisticated feel for modern interiors. These modern hues blend well with pastel-coloured or light-wooden furniture for a serene and balanced look suitable for your bedroom or a minimalist living area.

3. Layer with Sheers for a Light-Diffused Glow

Combine velvet curtains with lighter sheer drapes, which means you can have both elegance and brightness in your room. The sheers masterfully balance the richness of velvet and warm, diffusing sunlight into the space, and generate a gentle, soothing cosy atmosphere.

4. Add Metallic Accents for Subtle Glamour

Velvet is complemented perfectly by curtain rods, accent tables, and brass or golden lighting. The natural shine of the fabric is accentuated, creating an overall cosy chic look that's welcoming, perfect for unwinding.

5. Balance with natural and matte textures

Balance velvet's heaviness with layers of more natural textures, like rattan chairs, linen seating, or matte-finish surfaces. Mixing such materials results in a space that is effortlessly elegant and casual, rather than the harsh formality velvet can sometimes bring.

"Vintage or modern, velvet curtains are the most tactile way to introduce sophisticated comfort into any space. Whether splendid in the bedroom, stylish in the living room, or cosy in a nook, they lavishly display a feeling of refined elegance and warmth," concludes Saraf.
