Why choose velvet dining chairs?

Velvet - also called velvet - is a woven fabric with a short, dense pile. The sheen is created because it reflects light in different ways. This makes the fabric vibrant and rich in color. Velvet is also soft and warm to the touch, which makes it very suitable for furniture you sit on for long periods of time, such as dining room chairs.

Many people choose velvet because it not only looks beautiful, but also adds real comfort. It's softer than leather or plastic and gives your dining area a cozy, luxurious feel. Especially when combined with a wooden or marble table, it creates a nice balance between warm and cool material.

Colors and their effect on your interior

The color of your velvet dining chairs determines a lot. Dark green and navy blue add a rich, deep character to your space. These shades do well in a hotel chic interior, where you like to work with luxurious fabrics and dark colors.

Prefer something softer? Think beige or powder pink velvet chairs - perfect for a light, Scandinavian decor. Neutral colors create tranquility and let other elements, such as your table or lighting, speak more.

And are you looking for a real eye-catcher? Green velvet dining chairs remain unprecedentedly popular. They bring energy and elegance at the same time.

Matching your living style

A common misconception is that velvet only suits luxury or classic interiors. Unjustified! Velvet is surprisingly versatile and also combines well with modern, industrial or minimalist styles.

• In a Scandinavian interior, choose light velvet combined with natural wood and soft lighting.
• In an industrial interior velvet contrasts beautifully with raw materials such as steel, concrete and leather.
• For a hotel chic look combine velvet chairs with gold accents and a dark dining table.

Is velvet practical in everyday life?

Velvet may have the name of being "difficult," but modern velvet fabrics are often treated against stains. This makes them more resistant to moisture and dirt. Just wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth is often enough.

Do you have children or pets? Then it's smart to choose a low-maintenance fabric or a model with removable upholstery.

When purchasing, always pay attention to the fabric quality. This is because there are great differences in the density and firmness of velvet. At Mokana you will find chairs that are not only beautiful, but also suitable for intensive use.
