Hello, its February and we can see the emerging trends in interiors, be it furniture, fabrics, paints or interior styles for 2017. Velvet sofas are making a definite come back this year. I love it, I own a black one. According to Wikipedia, Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are evenly distributed giving it a distinctive feel.Velvet fabric can be made with either synthetic or natural fibers.In fact when we think luxury we think velvet. A velvet sofa is the ultimate in luxury furniture that you can introduce in your home. A lot of people are hesitant to get velvet sofas especially if there are young children around due to the maintenance factor but with a little care, it is not that difficult to maintain. Some of the most common problems are:
- Accumulated dust and dirt. This can be easily taken care of by vacuuming. Most vacuum cleaners come with an attachment to clean furniture.
- If you spill any fluid the best thing to do would be to place a super absorbent paper towel or clean cloth till all the fluid is absorbed and then to air dry the fabric. You can then apply dry cleaning detergent to a sponge and clean the stain with it if it’s a difficult one. There are also many professional agencies who offer their services to clean furniture.
- If the velvet looses its sheen try directing a steamer on the reverse side of the matted areas to make the fabric fluffy again.
