Velvet holds a steady place in the upholstery market. While it’s becoming more affordable and, therefore, more popular in some spaces, it’s not loved in other places.
People love velvet because it makes a statement. It’s comfortable, and it’s available in tons of gorgeous colors.
However, other people are opting for more tactile materials such as bouclé or corduroy. On the note of disliking velvet, it’s not always the top choice for big families as it can show wear and tear quite quickly.
Velvet isn’t going anywhere, so if you like it, you should still be able to find your dream velvet couch in any color and style.
