Lauren Graham
In case you hadn't noticed, velvet is having a BIG moment in home decor right now. In stark contrast to linen and other natural tones and textures, velvet adds instant glamour and a certain "cosiness", even in the smallest doses. Forget everything you've come to know about velvet, and trust us on this one, it's no longer a fabric synonymous with Victorian living rooms and Gothic style bedrooms.
