apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

There should be an option for:

"Wow, I love that color velvet... on me, not on furniture. And the shape is so fussy!"

Because I think it has a certain aesthetic appeal, but I wouldn't actually want it in my house... too twee-antiquey.

Would totally put it in my house. I would love to have an afro caribbean/southern bohemian feel. This couch with beautifully painted walls fits the bill.

I have a soft spot for blue velvet (good film, too!) because my parents had a sofa like this when I was little. It was curved and buttoned like a Chesterfield, however.

This would be fun with a lucite coffee table and some funky throw pillows, IMO.
