Recessed Arm Velvet Two Seater Sofa
Black velvet furniture can add a luxurious, modern touch to any space. This compact, two-seater sofa is ideal for small spaces, with two button-tufted bottom cushions, high recessed arms, two plush throw pillows, and tapered gray legs.
Designer Advice:
When you have limited space, you can achieve a better aesthetic using a two-seater black velvet couch for the living room. The downside of using a two-seater couch instead of a three-cushion sofa is that you might lose enough space to seat three people. But you can compensate for the loss of seating by using decorative kitchen bar stools, foldable living room seats, or small accent side chairs.
