Crushed velvet can take even the drabbest looking piece of furniture and transform it into something lavish. Use crushed velvet to revamp an old headboard, restore an old sofa or create luxurious soft furnishings. Crushed velvet is perfect if you want to create a piece of statement furniture, especially if you choose a vivid colour. In contrast, crushed velvet can also be used to add a more subtle sense of luxury if used casually on scatter cushions and throws.
