The Inimitable Allure of Velvet Sofas
Velvet is traditionally a luxurious fabric that is both a classic and trendy choice. The material has a rich history rooted in royalty, making it a popular furniture upholstery fabric to this day. If you’re looking for that decadent and regal look, sofas in velvet are a perfect choice.
Whilst historically made of silk, modern velvet is typically woven from different types of yarn, including cotton, wool, linen, and synthetics. Our sofas feature the most decadent velvet – a gorgeous blend that offers durability in a soft, plush fabric that you can just sink into.
While the royal look may have given rise to the famous blue velvet sofas, new trends have seen more contemporary and unique colours take the stage, such as green, grey, and rose. We offer beautiful velvet sofas in classic traditional styles as well as modern styles tailored for contemporary homes.
Our Range Of Velvet Sofas
We offer a wide range of large to small velvet sofas with UK-wide delivery, all designed to add a touch of sophistication to your home.
Within our broad collection, you'll find an array of stylish colour options. The new velvet sofa colours you may find in our range include classic navy blue, midnight blue, teal, light grey, dark grey, rose, forest green, and more.
So, whether you prefer the neutral tones of a light or dark grey velvet sofa or you're looking for a green velvet sofa for your UK home to truly make a statement, Home Detail has what you need!
With our wide range of velvet sofas, there’s a colour and design out there that’s the ideal fit for you. Whether you opt for our single velvet sofa chairs or curate an entire velvet lounge suite, you'll find the missing piece for your living space with us.
Peruse our fantastic collection of velvet sofas online at Home Detail to find the ideal choice for your home.
New & Old Styles Of Velvet Sofas Available
We offer a wide range of velvet contemporary sofa designs, curated to suit almost any living space — from the bedroom to the living room and beyond.
Chesterfield Style
If you're after classic velvet sofas for sale in the UK, look out for our Chesterfield-style velvet tufted sofas, complete with a plush quilted backrest, scrolled arms, padded armrests, and seat cushions filled with foam for ultimate comfort. Our velvet button-back sofa range includes vintage designs that stand on antique wooden turnip feet, as well as more modern designs with sleek, minimalistic wooden legs and nailhead trims.
Lawson Sofas
If you're looking for a fabric velvet sofa with a simplistic, modern design, our Lawson sofas may be better suited for your décor. This mid-century style soft velvet sofa range is characterised by short armrests that sit lower than the back, rolled arms, gold-plated metal legs, and plush, removable foam-filled cushions.
Tuxedo Style
If you're after a mid-century style but prefer a symmetrical look, the Tuxedo sofa style is a perfect choice. Featuring boxy designs, the tuxedo sofas in our range of luxury velvet sofas in the UK have padded armrests (instead of additional cushions) that are the same height as the back. These sofas sit on wooden feet and can even feature gold detailing.
For a more sophisticated look, we also offer a selection of tuxedo sofas that feature large padded back cushions and a comfortable padded seat, complete with matching bolster cushions, a pull-button design, and wooden legs.
Knole Settees
For a truly unique look, opt for a Knole velvet studded sofa design that features a deep seat, tall angled armrests, diamond button tufting on the cushioned back, and square wooden legs.

Perhaps you need a small velvet sofa in grey to create a cosy reading nook in your bedroom or a large velvet sofa in black for your family lounge. At Home Detail, we have a sofa size for every space!

What To Consider When Buying A Velvet Sofa
When you shop online for your new velvet sofa, there are a few factors to consider to ensure that you select the perfect sofa for you:
-
Size is possibly the biggest factor to consider. It’s crucial to check if the sofa will fit comfortably in your living room or bedroom. Be sure to measure your space more than once and take note of the maximum capacity — you'll want to pay close attention to the width and depth.
-
Colour is a simple but important factor to consider to ensure your new velvet sofa complements the aesthetic and style of your living space. Selecting a neutral option like a grey velvet couch is a popular and safe choice, but if you like a contemporary and bold look, a bright pop of colour from an accent piece like a green velvet couch can really transform a room.
-
Seating style is also important to think about to figure out what design would suit your space best. Perhaps you’re looking for a small 1-seater to create a new reading nook. Alternatively, you may be looking for a luxury centrepiece like a large velvet Chesterfield for a sophisticated office space.
Whatever you're looking for, you can rest assured that we have the luxury velvet sofa for you — complete with fast and free* delivery.

What are the Benefits Of Owning A Velvet Sofa?
Not only does a modern velvet sofa look and feel luxurious, but it is a statement piece that can suit any interior while guaranteeing softness, decadence, and comfort. It is a common misconception that velvet is an unreliable fabric choice for furniture given its high-style look. Unlike other fabric sofas, velvet has a flat and dense pile, which means that there are no loose threads or raised weaves. This offers the following advantages:
-
A sofa in velvet fabric is, in fact, very durable and, if taken care of properly, it is unlikely to be damaged — making it suitable for families with children and pets.
-
It requires little maintenance. Velvet luxury sofas are very simple and easy to clean with vacuum upholstery attachments for dust particles and stain repellent for spills.
-
Aesthetically, a velvet fabric sofa is a show stopping choice for furniture. This material type offers richer and deeper colours, allowing you to customise and decorate your living room to your heart’s content — the possibilities are truly endless!
How Long Do Velvet Sofas Last?
While velvet has a reputation for being high maintenance, if taken care of properly, velvet sofas can last for a few decades. It is a resilient and sturdy fabric for furniture upholstery and the perfect choice if you’re looking to invest in a new sofa that's made to last.
What is the Best Type of Velvet?
There are a few types of velvet. Each features its own set of characteristics, so selecting the right one is dependent on your personal needs and preferences.
-
For occasional use, a cotton blend velvet is a perfect choice as it is both lustrous and long-lasting.
-
If you’re looking for a velvet sofa fit for a large family that will get a lot of use, it is recommended to select polyester velvet; it provides the same stunning finish but is more durable and resistant to stains.
-
For a more unique look, consider crushed velvet sofas. This type of velvet has been twisted or pressed in different directions while wet to create a shinier, patterned appearance.
Are There Any Disadvantages To Owning A Velvet Sofa?
While velvet is a decadent and lustrous fabric, it can attract dust and pet hair more easily than other fabric types and might require more regular cleaning. Velvet fibres can also weaken if exposed to direct sunlight. This can become an issue in the long run but can be prevented by carefully positioning your velvet units to ensure they’re well preserved.
Are Velvet Sofas Difficult To Maintain?
Velvet sofas are simple and easy to maintain. Whilst they require a little extra care to ensure that they are well taken care of, they’re no more difficult to maintain than other fabrics and materials.
Are Velvet Sofas More Expensive Than Fabric Sofas?
Velvet sofas typically look far more expensive than their actual price tag — so they provide an expensive and elegant look whilst being generally affordable.
How Do I Know That A Velvet Sofa Is Right For Me?
You’ll know a sofa in velvet is right for you if it fits seamlessly into your living space and complements your aesthetic and style. The perfect velvet sofa will feel like the finishing touch. If the colour suits your room's palette, is the right size to comfortably fit in your space, is within your price budget, and matches all of your criteria, it’s definitely the right sofa for you!
