The 10 Green Velvet Sofas That'll Bring a Wow Factor to Your Living Room

Burrow Green Velvet Sofa
Green velvet sofas are tactile, bold, and eye-catching.

“It’s no surprise green sofas have become more and more popular over the last few years,” says Yoselin Castro, Senior Interior Designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors. “The color green is practically considered an unconventional neutral, and it is one of those colors that can be paired with almost any color scheme, of course, depending on the shade of green. A green sofa provides a pop of color into a space and incorporates a piece of nature inside.”

Speaking of incorporating nature indoors, surrounding a green velvet sofa with indoor plant life adds to the appeal of these beauties. Green velvet sofas also pair well with leather, wood, and other brown tones, making them more versatile than you might imagine.

We’ve highlighted a selection of our favorite green velvet sofas below to help you find the perfect fit for your living room.

Fabienne Green Velvet Sofa

Brand: Lulu & Georgia
Price: $3,998

The Fabienne in green velvet from Lulu & Georgia can bring a touch of luxe and vintage flair into any space.

Combined, these elements create a transitional appeal that can fit in with almost any interior style.  

“The Fabienne sofa from Lulu & Georgia is a stunner,” says Yoselin Castro, Senior Interior Designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors. "While the silhouette of this piece is modern, it features a more traditional and intricate design on the legs, making it feel timeless."

The Fabienne seats three comfortably atop its soft cushions, which include a down wrap layer and a feather down blend for sumptuous padding. It comes with two matching throw pillows, and the front legs have small rollers to make it easier to move.

"I love the Fabienne from Lulu and Georgia," says interior designer Becc Burgmann. “The shade of green with wooden legs is such a classic period piece. This piece would fit into an existing heritage home but be just as perfect in a new build with heritage style features in the home such as ceiling and wall moldings.”

What Does a Green Velvet Sofa Bring to a Room?

A green velvet sofa will no doubt become the centerpiece of your living room furniture. Nothing can compete with the beguiling air of a rich, plush green velvet sofa inviting you to sit and stay for a while — especially if you choose an option with some added flair like rolled arms or channel tufting.

"A green sofa isn't for the faint-hearted or for any interior, but for a modern, heritage or Scandinavian style interior, it can give the room that wow factor.”

"A green sofa isn't for the faint-hearted or for any interior, but for a modern, heritage or Scandinavian style interior, it can give the room that wow factor,” Interior Designer Becc Burgmann told Living Cozy. “A green sofa doesn't just bring color; it brings boldness and an air of ‘look at me.’ You can’t not notice a green sofa, so be prepared to make it shine and be a talking piece. It also brings personality and confidence to a space and says a lot about the owner.”

If you opt for a lighter green velvet, the effect can be less bold and more relaxed. Depending on the style you’re going for, this could be just what you need. For example, you might choose a mint green sofa instead of a forest green or emerald green color.

"A mint green sofa can be relaxed, a wonderful way to bring an element of the outdoors in and create a positive and peaceful feng shui to the room,” commented Burgmann. “An emerald or heritage green sofa can look incredible in a Scandinavian style interior, while an olive green with wooden legs, like the Fabienne from Lulu and Georgia, can look breathtaking in a heritage style home with dark wooden furniture and a black and white check floor."

How to Style a Green Velvet Sofa

There is no right and wrong in creative pursuits, but guidelines are nice when you're working with something bold like velvet fabric.

Before getting into the expert advice, we’ve highlighted some inspiration for styling a green velvet sofa in a range of different aesthetics below:

  • Boho or Eclectic: Have fun with prints and warm colors on your cushions and rugs.
  • Classy or Glam: Add metallic golds, consider scroll arms or a tuxedo or chesterfield sofa, and keep your living room symmetrical.
  • Calming or Romantic: Try a charcoal accent wall, wall hanging, or coffee table.
  • Bright and Clean: Place the sofa against a crisp white wall or use bright white cushions.
  • Modern Monochromatic: Consider adding a green accent wall to your living room or green wall art behind the sofa.
  • Urban Jungle: Position lush green houseplants around the sofa and living room and consider nailhead trim for a dramatic look.

The above ideas should be enough to get you started in whichever direction you’re heading with your living room. But now it’s time for the experts to weigh in with more advice to help you get your styling just right.

“There are countless ways you can style a green velvet sofa in a space, whether you want to create a moody effect or a more natural and calming environment,” says Yoselin Castro, Senior Interior Designer at Mackenzie Collier Interiors. “Pairing it with brass metals such as a coffee table or floor lamp will elevate the look and make the room feel more sophisticated, bringing in more natural elements such as wood gallery wall frames and accent chairs to provide a more casual and earthy feel."

“If you're starting from scratch, get a velvet sofa in a type of fabric that suits your lifestyle best! For example, if you have kids go for a performance fabric making it easy to clean,” continues Castro. “From there, see what colors are available and think of how much color you want to add to your space. If you can't decide whether you absolutely love the green sofa or if the green sofa is too much color for you, spaces can always be toned down by bringing in natural tones through the rest of the furniture. This can be achieved with the selection of rug, art, wall color, and accessories. Finally, watch that beautiful statement sofa shine.”

“Don’t try and outdo the sofa by adding a darker throw. Instead, dress your sofa with a lighter shade throw and of a different color."

“The shade of green you choose (i.e., an earthy shade, an olive shade, or a heritage green shade) are all more bold and slightly masculine shades,” says Interior Designer Becc Burgmann. “Don’t try and outdo the sofa by adding a darker throw. Instead, dress your sofa with a lighter shade throw and of a different color, for example, with a heritage green sofa, pair it with a gorgeous burnt orange, or for an olive green, choose a beautiful beige with perhaps a wooden geometric pattern.”

“You only have to walk outdoors to spy many different shades of green, and many seasonal too, so take a walk, find your green and see what sort of tree it’s connected to,” Burgmann continued. “When I think heritage green, I imagine the burnt leaves turning in the fall to that stunning yellow/orange. Inspiration is all around you! My biggest tip, don't over style it; I'd stick with a throw rug, and that's all, your sofa is the hero piece."
