Velvet has long been synonymous with luxury, and especially in the gorgeous tones offered at Willow Home & Living. Whether you’re looking for a deep emerald green or softer tones, our green velvet cushion covers offer the perfect balance of comfort and sophistication. But like any luxurious textile, velvet requires some maintenance to keep it looking its best. In this guide, we’re sharing our top tips for caring for your velvet cushion covers so you can enjoy their elegance for years to come. No matter if you’re refreshing your lounge or curating a designer look, knowing how to care for velvet is key to preserving its plush texture, colour vibrancy, and structural integrity.
Our green velvet cushions are not just a passing trend, they are a timeless design choice that complements everything from bold traditional styles to minimalist aesthetics. It’s also a favourite in our Velvet Collection at Willow Home & Living because of the way it instantly elevates a space. However, velvet, especially in deeper hues like green, can show dust, marks, and wear more noticeably than some other fabrics. That’s why proper cleaning and storage habits are essential. When cared for the right way, velvet cushions not only retain their luxurious finish but can become the centrepiece of your living room styling.
To preserve the life and texture of your velvet cushion covers, we always recommend hand washing as the first and best option. This gentle method protects the fibres and ensures the colours stay rich and consistent.
Here’s how to hand wash your covers:
Velvet cushion covers don’t always need a full wash. For small marks or light spills, spot cleaning is a fantastic solution that keeps your cushions looking their best between deeper cleans.
To spot clean:
This method is especially useful if your velvet cushion covers are part of a styling centrepiece in your living room and need to stay clean.
Your green velvet cushion covers will likely live on your most-used furniture, so to keep them looking full and fresh fluff and rotate them regularly. This prevents uneven wear and keeps the velvet from looking worn in specific spots.
If you’re switching out your velvet cushions for a seasonal refresh, storing them correctly will protect them until next time. Fold or roll the cushion covers loosely and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and create an environment for mould.
Velvet cushion covers can sometimes flatten after long periods of use or during storage. To bring it back to life, gently brush your cushion covers with a soft fabric brush or velvet brush. This restores the shape and finish. A quick brush can also help with removing dust or pet hair without resorting to washing, making them super easy to look after.
