7 Crushed Velvet Bedroom Must-Haves for a Chic Space

Crushed velvet is making a comeback in 2025, mostly thanks to a renewed interest in romanticism. In times of turmoil and economic hardship, people gravitate towards the whimsical. Beautiful, soft furnishings are comforting, unlike rough linens and itchy bouclé.

Bedrooms, in particular, benefit from the warmth of crushed velvets. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to introduce them into your interiors without overwhelming the space.

What’s so great about crushed velvet?

We know what you’re thinking – aren’t crushed velvets a little too retro? Absolutely not. Sure, they were a favourite among the bell-bottomed free spirits of the 1960s, but they also scream sophistication. You don’t need much to create a luxurious feel that transforms small bedrooms into inviting boudoirs.

Above all else, crushed velvets add texture and depth to two-dimensional spaces. Hang heavy, draped curtains to offset neutral colour schemes. Or scatter a few highly saturated cushions to pay homage to the la bohème. The possibilities are infinite, so don’t take yourself too seriously and have fun experimenting!

7 crushed velvet bedroom must-haves

Lustrous Crushed Velvet Cushion Covers

Want to add a little ooh la la to your space? These Crushed Velvet Cushion Covers bring an instant touch of glamour. Their lustrous sheen catches the light beautifully, making them a standout piece in any bedroom.

Plus, they’re super soft to the touch – because style should always be comfortable. Available in black, brown, pink, red, silver, and taupe, there’s a shade to suit every décor. Whether you mix and match or go monochrome, these cushions are an effortless way to elevate your bedroom.

Sumptuous stone cushions

Crushed velvet cushions are perhaps the easiest and most inexpensive way to refresh drab interiors. Strategically place two or three on the bed or haphazardly pile them up in a dark, unused corner – whatever you do, the unique, mottled fabric delivers some much-needed oomph.

We especially love the Henley cushion cover in stone. This unusual neutral is far more interesting than clinical white, boasting warm undertones that perfectly complement muted blues and seafoam greens.

Jewel-toned fleece throws

Next on our list are jewel-toned fleece throws – the ideal companion for cold winter months. While wonderfully plush, the fabric is also surprisingly breathable. Polyester is also known for being durable, moisture-wicking and wrinkle-resistant, so you don’t have to worry about time-consuming upkeep.

Emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, burnt gold and platinum silver never seem to go out of fashion. Why? They simply feel expensive. If you’re on a budget but want a high-end aesthetic, embrace these dramatic shades.

Art-deco seat pads

Another popular interior trend is Art Deco, known for bold geometric shapes, vivid colours and luxurious materials like crushed velvet and exotic hardwoods. Here, more really is more, and nothing is too ostentatious.

The Holland seat pad in burnt orange encapsulates this maximalist theme. The quilted design is extra in the best possible way, with cute bows that fasten around vanity and office chairs.

We understand that orange is an acquired taste, so these seat pads also come in taupe, black, cream, grey and more.

Glamourous duvet sets

If you want to get the most from crushed velvet, we suggest choosing a showstopping centrepiece. A few cushions and throws are nice but nowhere near as eye-catching as a glamourous duvet set in mink.

The gorgeous velvet material boasts a quilted diamond stitched finish with sparkling sequins woven throughout. It’s not just a duvet but an incredible work of art showcasing the designer’s meticulous attention to detail and expert craftsmanship.

Best of all, styling mink is easy. Lean into understated elegance with creamy, earthy neutrals, metallic accents and warm lighting with dimmers for maximum cosiness.

Weighted sherpa blankets

You can’t beat a weighted sherpa blanket for a good night’s rest, but don’t take our word for it. Recent research reveals that weighted blankets improve sleep quality and mitigate the symptoms of insomnia.

As well as being brilliantly practical, blush pink is undeniably enchanting. It’s a popular colour in fairycore and cottagecore interiors, celebrating the romantic and ultra-feminine. 

Plum-coloured prints 

We know we’ve rocked the boat with a few out-there must-haves in this guide, but interior design should be bold and exciting. With that in mind, it’s time for our closing act – plum-coloured velvet prints like this unique Willow cushion cover.

There’s no point investing in pieces that don’t spark joy. Plain neutrals might look nice in otherwise boring bedrooms, but unusual motifs truly stand out. The Willow cushion cover is one of a kind, with a two-tone geometric leaf pattern adorning luxuriously cut chenille fabric.
