A velvet revival is upon us, and it's hard to keep our hands off.
Here are some picks to add a little or a lot to your space:
Peacocking
The fabulously whimsical "Fin" armchair, from London-based design team Daria Piasecka and Nora Voon, is a showstopper. Upholstered in a rich turquoise velvet, the oversized lounge chair gets funky with a plummage of black and aqua green feathers that drape its back and side. Made to order.

Faded elegance
A special antiquing technique gives these Restoration Hardware throw pillows "the aged richness of a Renaissance fresco," the company said. Made of low-pile velvet, the elegant, earth-toned pillows lend a subtle hint of velvety lushness to a sofa or daybed. Comes in sand or slate colors.

Add some shine to a room with Z Gallerie's Lola bench, whose long, slim legs give the bench lightness while the silky velvet upholstery is prime for stroking. Comes in chocolate and pewter gold.
