20 Velvet Home Accents That’ll Elevate Your Holiday Decor (So Cozy!)
1. The Pillow That Launched a Thousand “Oohs”
Velvet throw pillows in rich jewel tones? Yes, please! Snag a few in emerald green or ruby red to set the scene on the couch. Your guests may suddenly develop a strange attachment to your sofa. Coincidence? We think not.
2. Velvet Stockings for the Very Fancy
Forget the traditional knit socks. We’re talking velvet stockings hung by the chimney with more flair than a Broadway star walking off the stage. It’s not the size of the stocking—it’s the luxurious texture, darling!
3. Drapes That Feel Like a Warm Hug
The velvet curtains are calling, and they want to wrap your living room in love. Plush velvet drapes add instant opulence to any space, so let them swish dramatically and transform your space into a holiday haven worthy of a Hallmark movie.
4. A Table Runner That Deserves Its Own Encore
Who needs fancy centerpieces when you’ve got a velvet table runner? The way the candles flicker across the shimmering fabric? Total holiday magic. And bonus: it distracts from any late Aunt Margaret’s questionable fruitcake.
5. The Throw Blanket You’ll Fight Over
If the invite says “casual holiday party,” that’s just code for “mandatory snuggling.” Toss a velvet throw blanket over your armchair and watch guests sneakily claim it on the sly. Warning: may result in many “I’ll just sit here for a sec…” moments.
6. A Velvet Armchair So Comfy You’ll Consider Permanent Residency
Is it really a holiday without a velvet accent chair to sink into after too many roasted chestnuts? Plus, they look fantastic next to a crackling fireplace (or, more realistically, your electric heater pretending to be a fireplace).
7. Velvet Ribbon Wrapping Presents And Hearts
Why settle for plain ol’ wrapping paper when you could crisscross your presents with velvet ribbon so fancy you might not want to cut into it? And hey, we won’t blame you if you end up keeping those presents for yourself.
8. Velvet Napkin Rings (Because Regular Napkin Rings Are Too Last Year)
Your holiday table is begging for some velvet napkin rings—polished enough to make it look like you definitely planned this weeks in advance (even if you absolutely did not).
9. Velvet Christmas Ornaments That’ll Make the Tree Blush
Swap those same-old glass baubles for velvet ornaments in all the right shades of winter luxury. Soft, plush, and utterly sophisticated—you’ll feel fancy just looking at your twinkling masterpiece.
10. Poufs: Not Just for Feet Anymore
What’s better than a velvet pouf? More velvet poufs. Bonus: they double as extra seating for those uninvited extra guests you’ll pretend you were totally expecting.
11. Velvet Tree Skirt AKA The Red-Carpet Moment Your Tree Deserves
Dress that tree up as the true star of the living room with a velvet tree skirt. Because why shouldn’t your tree experience a little holiday glam too?
12. Velvet Wreath That’ll Make Your Door Look Like Royalty
Move over evergreens, it’s time for the velvet wreath to have its shining moment! It’s plush, festive, and beckoning your neighbors to compliment your impeccable taste. Ho, ho, YES!
13. Velvet Ribbon Wrapped Around Everything (Literally)
We’re not kidding—use velvet ribbon on your tree, stair banister, and even around the family pet (just for the Instagram photo, of course). Go wild, it’s the holidays!
14. Velvet Sleigh Bells, Because Regular Ones Are Too Mainstream
Deck the halls with a little extra softness by hanging up some velvet sleigh bells that won’t make as much noise when the cat inevitably knocks them over. Silent night JUST got cozier.
15. Velvet Advent Calendar: It’s Fancy AND Fills You With Chocolate
Here’s an upgrade for your advent calendar: make it velvet! Imagine opening each day with a soft touch and finding—oh look—more chocolate. We’re on board.
16. Velvet Candles That Don’t Melt (But Could With Their Beauty)
No, they aren’t covered in actual fabric (safety first!), but candleholders wrapped in velvet? Now that’s a flicker of festivity we can’t resist.
17. Velvet Table Cloth That Stuns On Dining Day
Don’t settle for a mediocre table cloth this year—opt for a velvet one that screams “I have my life together,” even if the turkey’s still a tad underdone.
18. Velvet Tassel Garland to Drape Everywhere (Yes, Everywhere)
Why limit the velvet goodness to just seats and couches? Drape a velvet tassel garland over your mantel, across your windows, and maybe even your sorry-looking houseplant.
19. Velvet Tree Topper: We Don’t Need No Star!
Leave that shiny gold star packed away and top your tree with a whimsical velvet bow tree topper. It’ll have your tree standing out like a fashion icon.
20. Velvet Ottomans You’ll Honestly Never Use as Ottomans
Who needs function when you’ve got style? Plop down a few velvet ottomans around the room—they’ll become instant footrests, random-object accumulators, and, of course, envy generators.
