Why Velvet for Upholstery?

Let’s explore why velvet is such a popular choice for upholstery:

  • Luxurious Look and Feel: Velvet’s rich texture and deep colours give any room a sense of opulence. Its soft surface invites touch, making your furniture a focal point that is both beautiful and comfortable
  • Durability: Despite its delicate appearance, Susi Bellamy's velvet fabrics are incredibly durable with a martindale of 60,000 it makes them ideal for high-traffic areas
  • Colour Depth: Velvet absorbs and reflects light in unique ways, offering a depth of colour that other fabrics can’t match. This quality is especially important when working with richly saturated hues or bold patterns like ours...
