Velvet Sofas + Sectionals
Velvet is one of the most immediate ways to elevate a sofa or sectional — it adds depth, sheen, and tactile richness that other upholstery materials simply don't replicate. At Lulu and Georgia, the velvet sofa and sectional collection spans the full range of what the material can do: deep jewel tones like sapphire, forest green, and plum that make the color come alive in the pile; warm neutrals like camel, warm gray, and taupe that bring the texture forward without the color competition; and classic navy and cream that work in nearly any interior context. Each piece is chosen for the quality of its velvet and the strength of its underlying construction.
What types of velvet sofas does Lulu and Georgia carry?
The collection includes track-arm and rolled-arm sofas, loveseats, and full sectional configurations in velvet upholstery. Silhouettes range from more formal, tailored profiles with tight backs and structured cushions to more relaxed mid-century and transitional shapes with loose cushion fills. Most velvet sofas in the collection are available in multiple colorways, making it possible to choose a jewel tone for a statement piece or a warm neutral for a softer, less color-forward approach within the same silhouette.
How do I care for a velvet sofa?
Velvet is durable but requires specific care to maintain its appearance. For spills, blot immediately with a clean cloth — never rub, as rubbing can damage the pile and spread the stain. For general cleaning, vacuum regularly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and pet hair before it settles into the pile. For crushed velvet marks from sitting, a light steam with a handheld steamer and a gentle brush in the direction of the pile will restore the nap. Avoid direct sunlight over long periods, as this can cause velvet to fade unevenly in the direction of the pile.
What colors and styles work best with a velvet sofa?
A jewel-tone velvet sofa works best as the room's color anchor — build around it with warm neutrals in the rug, upholstery, and walls rather than trying to match the color across surfaces. Brass or gold metal accents complement velvet particularly well, adding warmth that reads as intentional alongside the material's natural richness. For neutral velvet sofas, the pile itself provides the visual interest, so pattern in adjacent textiles — a patterned rug, a printed pillow — adds dimension without competition. Avoid pairing velvet with other highly reflective or overly decorated surfaces, which can make the room feel busy.
