Everyone knows velvet — its sheen and softness are unrivaled. Originally, velvet was made from silk at great expense. These days, most velvet upholstery is a polyester/cotton blend that's smooth as well as durable. Performance velvet fabrics are excellent for folks with kids or pets, but even untreated velvet retains its beauty for years. That's why it's a perennially popular choice for bedding, sofas, pillows, and anything else that needs a little bit of luxury. This Valencia bedframe ($1,495) is a great way to elevate the bedroom — it comes in three neutral colorways and has a regal look.
