How does velour differ from other upholstery fabrics?

Although all upholstered chairs share comfortable, soft upholstery, it is the fabric used that determines the final look and functionality of the piece. Velour is a fabric that stands out from the rest. Whilst classic woven fabrics or eco-leather have a flat, smooth surface, velour has a distinctive, dense and short pile that is extremely pleasant to the touch. It is precisely this unique texture that makes a velour chair shimmer in the light, creating subtle reflections and appearing to change colour depending on the angle of the light.

It’s not just a matter of aesthetics. Velour, unlike smooth fabrics, is naturally warm and cosy, making it the ideal choice for interiors where the priority is to create an atmosphere of relaxation and luxury. When you choose a velour chair, you are investing in a piece of furniture that adds depth to your interior and makes the space feel more sensual and sophisticated. It is precisely these details that distinguish standard upholstered chairs from pieces of furniture that become the centrepiece of a room.

The pros and cons of velour chairs in everyday use

When you choose a velour chair, you’re choosing a piece of furniture that’s truly stunning, but it’s worth understanding its specific characteristics so that you can fully appreciate its charm.

The main advantage of velour is undoubtedly its aesthetic appeal and comfort. The softness and depth of colour of velour upholstery mean that even a simple upholstered chair becomes an elegant and cosy feature in a room. It is this very material that makes velour dining chairs or elegant upholstered living room chairs so inviting to sit in for longer periods, enhancing the comfort of everyday use. What’s more, velour is versatile – it blends perfectly with various interior styles, from classic to Scandinavian and even contemporary. High-quality velour is also durable, meaning that with the right care, it can last for years.

However, it is important to bear in mind the potential drawbacks. Due to its pile, velour may be more prone to collecting dust and pet hair. This is a minor challenge that requires regular vacuuming. Furthermore, in the event of liquid spills, velour can be more difficult to clean than smooth fabrics, which means that some people may consider a velour kitchen chair to be less practical than other options.

Despite these minor drawbacks, velour chairs are an excellent choice for those who prioritise design, comfort and a luxurious finish.

Which upholstered chairs are more stain-resistant – velour or eco-leather?

Choosing an upholstery fabric often comes down to striking a balance between aesthetics and practicality. When it comes to stain resistance, there are significant differences between velour and faux leather.

Eco-leather is a synthetic material that perfectly imitates natural leather. Its smooth, non-porous surface makes it naturally resistant to moisture and most stains. Spilled juice, wine or coffee do not soak into its structure – simply wipe the stain quickly with a damp cloth to restore the furniture to its perfect condition. For this reason, chairs upholstered in eco-leather are often recommended for kitchens, dining rooms or any rooms where furniture is subject to heavy use.

Velour, on the other hand, is more absorbent due to its structure. Liquid stains can quickly soak into the pile, making them difficult to remove. This does not, however, mean that a velour chair is impractical. It simply requires an immediate response and the use of specialist upholstery cleaning products. High-quality velours fabrics are often given an additional protective coating which reduces their absorbency, but this still does not guarantee the same level of resistance as eco-leather.

To sum up, if ease of cleaning and maximum stain resistance are your priorities, eco-leather may be the better choice. However, if a luxurious look, softness and the unique character that only velour can provide are what matter most, you simply need to remember to deal with stains promptly.

How should you clean and look after velour chairs to ensure they retain their appearance for years to come?

Proper care is key to keeping your velour upholstered chair in pristine condition. Although velour is exceptionally resistant to wear and tear, it requires regular care to retain its colour depth and softness.

• Regular vacuuming - This is essential! Use a soft-bristled attachment to gently remove dust, hair and other debris that accumulates on the plush pile. Vacuum in the direction of the pile, which will ‘detangle’ it and help maintain its silky texture.
• Instant stain removal - If a stain occurs, act immediately! Most stains from liquids, such as coffee or wine, won’t have time to soak deep into the fabric if you use an absorbent paper towel straight away to gently blot the liquid away. Avoid rubbing, as this can drive the stain deeper into the fabric and damage the velour’s texture.
• Using the appropriate measures - When cleaning velour, use only products designed for velour upholstery. Special foams or sprays are available which gently clean the fabric without damaging it. Always test the product on an inconspicuous area of the furniture to ensure it does not discolour the fabric.
• Sun protection - Velour, like many other fabrics, can fade when exposed to direct, intense sunlight. If your velour chair is in a spot that gets a lot of sun, consider using blinds or curtains to protect its colour.

Thanks to these simple yet effective tips, your elegant upholstered living room chairs or velour dining chairs will continue to delight the eye with their luxurious appearance for many years to come.

Which colours of velour chairs are the most fashionable in 2025?

Interior design trends are constantly evolving, and 2025 brings a fresh perspective on colour schemes, particularly when it comes to luxury furniture such as velour chairs. This season’s on-trend colours are primarily those inspired by nature, bringing a sense of calm and harmony to interiors.

• Bottle green – it’s a timeless classic that continues to reign supreme in interior design. Velour in a bottle-green shade looks exceptionally sophisticated and blends perfectly with elements in gold, black and wood. A velour chair like this will add elegance and character to any interior.
• Deep navy blue – a symbol of elegance and luxury. These navy blue upholstered chairs are the perfect choice for those who appreciate classic, timeless design. They create the perfect contrast with light-coloured walls, adding depth to the room.
• Warm beiges and earth tones – this is the very essence of minimalist and Scandinavian style. Sandy beiges, creamy shades and olive greens create a cosy and cohesive look, ideal for velour chairs in the kitchen or dining room, where a warm atmosphere is key.
• Burgundy and rusty red – a bold touch that brings a room to life. These deep, rich colours are a perfect match for the glamour and modern classic styles. They inject energy and warmth, turning the velour chair into a real focal point of the room.

Whichever colour you choose, a velour chair in a fashionable shade is a simple way to give your interior a fresh, contemporary look. Remember that Mark Adler’s range includes affordable velour chairs in the most fashionable colours, allowing you to keep up with the latest trends without breaking the bank.

What should you look out for when choosing an upholstered dining chair?

When choosing an upholstered dining chair, you are making an investment that will last for years. It is not just a question of aesthetics, but above all of functionality, which affects the comfort of your daily meals.

• Material and ease of cleaning - The dining room is a place where stains are all too common. Consider whether an upholstered chair in eco-leather, which is easy to wipe clean, would be more practical, or whether you’d prefer luxurious velour. If you opt for velour dining chairs, remember to look after them regularly so that they retain their impeccable appearance.
• Comfort and ergonomics - Seating comfort is essential, especially during long meals and get-togethers with loved ones. Check the depth and width of the seat, as well as the height of the backrest. Make sure the upholstered chair provides adequate back support.
• Structural strength - A sturdy chair should have a stable frame. The Mark Adler range includes models with metal or wooden legs, which ensure durability and stability, regardless of how intensively they are used.
• Matching the table - Before you make a decision, measure the height of the table. The distance between the seat and the tabletop should be around 25–30 cm to ensure a comfortable seat. An upholstered chair should also fit easily under the tabletop so as not to block the passageway.

By bearing these key points in mind, you’ll have no trouble choosing velour dining chairs that are not only beautiful but also exceptionally practical.

Are velour chairs suitable for an office or study?

When we think of office furniture, classic swivel armchairs or eco-leather chairs often spring to mind. However, a velour chair can be a surprisingly good choice for an office or home study if elegance and comfort are your priorities.

Choosing a velour upholstered office chair is a way to break away from the typical corporate aesthetic and introduce an element of luxury and cosiness into the workspace. High-quality velour is not only pleasant to the touch but also durable, and, combined with a properly contoured backrest, ensures comfort even during long hours of work.

Of course, it’s important to bear in mind the specific characteristics of velour. It may require more frequent vacuuming than smooth fabrics, but its unique appearance and softness more than make up for this. If you want your office to exude prestige and be a place where you feel comfortable, a velour chair is definitely an option worth considering. It fits perfectly into the style of home offices, where design and a cosy atmosphere are just as important as functionality.

What are the price differences between velour chairs and classic upholstered chairs?

The price of an upholstered chair depends on many factors, and the type of material used is one of the key ones. Generally speaking, velour chairs tend to be slightly more expensive than models upholstered in popular woven fabrics. This is due to the higher quality and unique characteristics of velour, which is regarded as a more refined and luxurious material.

Price differences also depend on:

• Fabric quality – higher-grade velour, which is more resistant to wear and tear and easier to clean, will be more expensive.
• Build quality – precise quilting, a sturdy frame construction and the quality of the legs (wooden or metal) have a direct impact on the price.

At Mark Adler, however, we strive to offer affordable velour chairs which, despite their attractive price, make no compromises on quality or design. This means that everyone can enjoy the luxury of velour, whatever their budget. It is worth remembering that investing in a durable and stylish upholstered chair is a choice that will last for years and pay for itself over time.
