Warning: After adding these velvet home accents to your space, you may develop a sudden affinity for fine cheese, classical music, and referring to all your meals as “supper.” You’ve been warned!
Velvet is the fabric equivalent of Leonardo DiCaprio—charming, effortlessly cool, and somehow always in style. If your home has been feeling a little too… let’s say, basic, it’s time for a velvet upgrade. It’s timeless, it’s soft, it’s luxurious… it’s basically your future BFF. At Homespir, we believe velvet is to home decor what glitter is to a New Year’s party: absolutely essential.
