Victorian Armchair with Ruby Red Tufted Velvet and Carved Frame

Chloe Hughes | Interior Design Expert

This stately armchair serves as a commanding focal point in a formal living room or a private home library. Surround it with light-toned neutrals or gold accents to highlight the richness of the dark wood and red upholstery. Balance its intricate carvings by placing it on a simple low-pile rug to ground the ornate silhouette without adding visual clutter. To preserve the vibrant fabric and wood finish, periodically dust the carvings and spot test any fabric cleaners in an inconspicuous area.
