Velvet has a luxurious look and feel, with a soft surface and subtle shift in shade depending on the light. It looks particularly striking in rich tones like deep green, brown, grey, and blue. Blended with synthetic fibres, viscose, or polyamide for added durability, it is a fabric well worth considering for your upholstered furniture and decorative cushions. Over time, velvet may naturally develop subtle variations in texture and shading as the pile settles. This is a normal characteristic of the fabric and does not affect its quality. However, proper care helps keep the fabric looking its best and prevents unwanted damage. To refresh the pile, brush gently with a soft-bristled brush or use a handheld steamer. Spills should be blotted immediately with an absorbent cloth – do not rub, as friction may damage the fibres. Use only specialised velvet cleaners, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.

MDF stands for medium-density fibreboard. It is similar to chipboard, but differs in how it is produced. MDF is made by bonding and pressing wood fibres together to form a solid, uniform panel. As a result, it offers excellent resistance to cracking and bending.
