Shak in Style recently blogged about the gorgeous, luxe look of blue velvet, and I absolutely fell in love with the photos she chose, and had to repost them here. I love how rich and warm these colors and textures appear. I've actually owned both a green and a burgundy Victorian velvet sofa, though I would've vastly preferred a deep, rich blue velvet over either of those colors. I especially love this Carter Sofa (inquire at website for price).

I certainly wouldn't kick one of these '40s-inspired Salon Lounge Chairs ($3,360) out of my living room, either. And while some design enthusiasts might insist that velvet lends itself to a dated decor look, I have to disagree. Dressed up with the right accessories, it can fit right into any eclectic, modern-oriented interior.
What do you think? Blue velvet fan? Or do you prefer something less fussy in your living room?

I love the luxe look of blue velvet! Unfortunately I could never have anything velvet in my home! My giant white cat would leave her fur all over it!
1The blue velvet above looks exquisite.
2thats gorgeous, but I'd want to just leave it in a guest bedroom or maybe if i somehow had a huge place (not likely!) with a sitting room. i love the woman's dress, too.
3I really like it too!
4It's looks so rich and soft and womenly but strong at the same time
I love the couch, the pillows and the dress. They are all gorgeous!
5I am positively in love with that chair.
6Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! The best way to get a more "updated" look with velvet I think is to pair it with a very different fabric - add some leather and it is sooooo glam rock.
