Choose Velvet Pillows for a Soft and Decadent Accent

Velvet has a lustrous look and silky feel that makes it a popular material for throw pillow covers. Enjoy rich texture and indulgent softness with velvet pillows from Williams Sonoma. Effortlessly enrich any interior and elevate the look of both modern and traditional designs. Velvet accent pillows are also easy to pair with a wide range of throw blankets. To really play up on the softness and texture, consider combining them with a faux fur throw.

Velvet Pillow colours and Styles

Our decorative velvet throw pillows are available in a wide range of styles and even more colours, from neutral and earthy tones to bright and popping shades of red, orange, yellow, blue and green. Consider which colours work best for your colour palette and then choose the best style for your design scheme as well. Our velvet throw pillow styles include:

• Solid: If you're looking for a velvet pillow with versatility, then a solid colour pillow will be your best choice. Pair it with a range of complementing colours and patterns to create your dream design.
• Pleat: Pleated pillows feature a solid colour as well, but the design of overlapping diagonal pleats creates extra visual interest and makes these pillows perfect for layering.
• Patterned: Go bold with pillows featuring abstract prints or jacquard-loomed designs from our selection of patterned velvet pillows. A beautifully-patterned pillow provides both practical comfort and a strong design accent for the room.
• Quilted: Enjoy subtle pattern and an extra-soft feel with a quilted velvet pillow. These sumptuous, solid colour pillows coordinate easily with a variety of prints and textures.
• Embroidered: Hand-stitched appliques and embroidery turn velvet pillows into a unique work of art. Choose from a variety of different embroidered patterns and motifs, including florals, ikat, abstract designs and stripes.

How to Select Pillow Shapes and Sizes

Our velvet pillows are also available in two lumbar sizes (14" x 22" and 15" x 30") and two square sizes (20" x 20" and 22" x 22") to accommodate all of your comfort needs and style preferences. A general rule of thumb when decorating a sofa with accent pillows is to use smaller pillows for a streamlined and tailored modern sofa with a smaller silhouette and larger pillows for a large, plush and cozy sofa. Larger sofas also take well to layering and placing one larger and one smaller pillow on both sides. A matching lumbar pillow always helps complete the look.

Throw pillows are a lot of fun to decorate with, especially when you throw the sheen and texture of velvet into the mix. Spruce up the look of your living room or any other space in your home with some choice velvet pillows from Williams Sonoma.
