Taupe Low Pile Upholstery Velvet from Somerset Collection

This Somerset Taupe Low Pile Upholstery Velvet promises easy living, displaying a pale taupe face and a woven reverse. The short pile, referring to the fiber length, lends itself to a more durable, easy-to-clean textile—with all the majestic sheen and plush feel you could ask for. Its supple drape is perfect for tufted headboards, ottomans, love seats, and more.

The presence of velvet is the promise of elegance. With a luxury that has captivated ancient royals to modern designers, this timeless textile turns chairs into thrones and homes into palaces. Here are some sewing tips from our professional velvet experts:

1. Before cutting and stitching your velvet, decide which way your pile is facing and stick with it.
2. Test on a scrap piece first—you may want to adjust presser foot tension and use a longer stitch.
3. Cutting on the wrong (reverse) side will ensure accurate markings.
4. Velvet is slick! Cutting in one layer (with a rotary cutter!) and using a walking foot will prevent slipping; hand basting your seam lines will prevent creeping.
