Velvet Upholstery & Drapery Fabric by the Yard

Velvet Fabric for Upholstery and Drapery

Velvet brings a depth of color and a soft, light-catching pile that no other fabric quite matches. Our collection spans classic cotton velvet, durable polyester blends, and crushed and embossed finishes, so you can match the hand and sheen to the project in front of you rather than settling for whatever is in stock.

Choosing the Right Velvet

For seating, headboards, and ottomans, look to a velvet upholstery fabric with a tight weave and a firm backing — it holds up to daily wear and cleans easily. For curtains, panels, and swags, a velvet drapery fabric with more drape and weight will hang in soft folds and block light beautifully.

Colors run from deep jewel tones to soft neutrals, and most of our velvets are sold by the yard so you can order exactly what your project needs. Order a swatch first if you want to see how a shade reads in your own light.
