Dorm Decor

A velvet floor pillow does something a regular throw pillow can’t — it works as an actual second seat, not just a decorative afterthought propped against a wall. This one comes overstuffed in crushed cotton velvet, in a deep wine “Cherry Lacquer” tone that reads more antique jewel box than dorm futon, and it’s built specifically for floor seating rather than repurposed from a couch cushion.

A velvet duvet cover does more to change a room’s mood than almost anything else you can put on a bed — most “moody bedroom” boards are really just a dark velvet duvet doing the heavy lifting under everything else. This one comes in a deep maroon crushed velvet on top, backed with plain cotton sheeting so it doesn’t feel overheated or precious under an actual comforter.
