It’s that time of year again, when thoughts turn to gift giving, party planning and décor updating to create a warm and inviting environment for all sorts of entertaining and family gatherings. 

Our favorite way to add warmth and visual appeal to modern rooms for the holiday season is with velvet--in ways large and small. Something as simple as colorful velvet toss pillows can add a festive touch to the living room. Want to make a bigger design statement? Then, consider a single chair or perhaps your dream sofa in lush velvet.

Whatever you choose, you’ll love how your modern interior spaces look with the addition of this extraordinary fabric. Here are some velvet-inspired ideas to get your started.
