Blue velvet is one of those combinations that sounds like a statement until you see it in a room and then it looks completely inevitable. Rich, deep and tactile, it brings a quality to a living room that lighter colours and flatter fabrics rarely achieve. Not the blue of a beach house or a child's bedroom, but something more considered: a colour with real presence.
The Blue Velvet Palette
Midnight blue sits at the heart of this collection. It is a deep, saturated shade — closer to navy than to a bright cobalt — with a seriousness and depth that earns its place in a grown-up living room. In velvet, that depth becomes something more: the pile catches and shifts the light as you move around the room, so the sofa never looks quite the same twice.
Trim choices matter here too. The same midnight blue jacket takes on a different character paired with a dark blue trim versus something warmer like brick — small decisions that shift the overall mood of the piece significantly. Available in 1.5, 2, 3 and 5 seater sizes, with chaise and corner configurations for larger spaces.
Change Your Mind Without Changing Your Sofa
Our fully modular sofas come with interchangeable jackets, so you can live with midnight blue now and try a different shade or fabric when the mood takes you. No new sofa required, just a new jacket.
What Goes With Blue Velvet
Blue velvet works across a wider range of interiors than people expect. Against warm neutrals — cream, natural linen, warm white — it has a depth and richness that feels grounded rather than cold. Add some natural wood or brass and the result is layered and considered.
For something with more contrast, green and deep blue together have a richness that feels almost jewel-like. Pink and blue is a pairing that works better than people expect, particularly at the dusty, muted end of both palettes. Worth pairing with: cream, grey, green and pink.
Feel the Blue Velvet for Yourself
Velvet reads very differently in different lights, and midnight blue in particular can shift from moody and dramatic to quietly rich depending on the room.
