Chicago furniture: Modern is captured with the ever-popular velvet couch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 24, 2010 -- Is velvet the new leather? Well, perhaps not, but for those who prefer a softer or more retro look it may be just the fabric they are looking for. It’s a super chic textile found today in every style of sofa. At Walter E. Smithe you can find the best furniture Chicago has to offer, including a velvet sofa that’s just right for you.

Whether your preference is the more formal, old-fashioned style or the most contemporary style you can picture, velvet can have a place in your décor. It is a warm fabric and very comfortable and durable. It’s also very versatile stylistically, in that it is not out of place in a formal living room, casual family room or the more personal décor of a bedroom.
Velvet is just as likely to appear in a showroom featuring the Chicago furniture modern style as it is an antique store. Velvet has never really gone out of style, but it is not usually the first fabric we think of as a sofa covering these days.

We must think past the red tufted Victorian sofa in Great-Aunt Tilly’s parlor and the purple velvet from the night club where we hung out in college. (Of course, there’s nothing wrong with those styles if that’s what you’re going for.) But almost any color or style can be created with velvet and it can add warmth and a bit of whimsy to any room.
It really is timeless: from Victorian to Art Deco to 50’s family, 70’s psychedelic to today’s softer or cleaner lines, velvet is the perfect way to state your style. Buyers of Chicago furniture, modern or traditional, will love the selections of velvet sofas at their local store.
When you shop for the best furniture Chicago retailers have to offer, you will find velvet among your decorating choices for sofas. I’ll take mine in sage green cottage style, thank you very much!
