What makes velvet the right throw choice
Velvet throws are richer, heavier, and more formal than minky. The BWB velvet throw collection sits naturally in living rooms with darker wood, brass hardware, and layered textiles. Velvet photographs deeply, holds saturated color beautifully, and drapes with weight, which is exactly what you want on a sofa in colder months.
How to style a velvet throw
- Formal living room. A velvet throw in a William Morris-Inspired heritage botanical or boho peacock print drapes the back of a sofa with intention. Avoid folding it too neatly.
- Foot of the bed. A folded velvet throw adds depth and richness to a quieter duvet. Pull one color from the throw into the shams.
- Reading chair. Pair with a velvet or linen lumbar pillow cover in a complementary palette. Velvet on velvet works.
- Cold-weather rooms. Velvet's weight makes it the right pick for living rooms used heavily October through April.
Performance velvet vs standard velvet
The catalog offers both velvet and performance velvet weights. Standard velvet is plusher and reads more formal. Performance velvet is the durable, easy-clean option for households with pets and kids, or for rooms that get heavy daily use. The pattern reads identically on both; the difference is feel and durability.
FAQ
How does velvet compare to minky?
Velvet is richer, heavier, and more formal. Minky is softer, lighter, and more casual. Both photograph beautifully.
Who prints and ships these?
Spoonflower prints each throw on demand in North Carolina and ships directly. Production runs about a week.
Are these double-sided?
BWB throws are printed double-sided with a white topstitch finish.
Can I get the same print on bedding, curtains, or pillows?
Most BWB designs run across multiple surfaces. Search the design name to find its full family.
How do I wash a velvet throw?
Spot clean is safest. For full washing, follow Spoonflower's care instructions for each substrate.
Can I order a swatch first?
Yes. Velvet swatches are especially worth doing because the hand differs noticeably between standard and performance weights.
