Luxury Fabrics: Velvet, Silk, and Cashmere

The most luxurious spaces are not just seen—they’re felt. Texture plays a vital role in creating environments that invite you to linger, and few elements elevate a home quite like rich, tactile fabrics. Velvet, silk, and cashmere are the hallmarks of understated elegance. When layered with intention, these materials transform rooms into refined sanctuaries of comfort and style.

Luxurious Velvet

We use velvet to bring softness and depth to our designs. Whether on a tufted ottoman, a pair of sculptural dining chairs, or a set of plush throw pillows, velvet catches the light and adds quiet drama to any space. We especially love it in saturated, moody tones for a luxe look that still feels grounded. It’s a fabric that instantly signals luxury but remains approachable when balanced with other materials.

Sophisticated Silk

Silk, on the other hand, offers a subtle sheen and delicacy that brings sophistication to even the simplest forms. At AMI, we often incorporate silk in drapery, wallcoverings, or accent pillows where its luminous quality can truly shine. Whether it’s raw silk for a bit of texture or a smooth dupioni for a formal effect, we’re meticulous about selecting the right finish and weight to complement the space.

Cozy Cashmere

Cashmere is our go-to for layering softness and warmth. We frequently use cashmere throws or upholstery accents to add a cocooning element—especially in primary bedrooms, sitting rooms, or reading nooks. It’s a fabric that whispers luxury without ever trying too hard. And in homes where comfort is just as important as elegance, it’s the perfect finishing touch.

At AMI, luxury is in the details—and the right fabrics make all the difference. Velvet, silk, and cashmere aren’t just beautiful; they speak to a lifestyle of intentional living and lasting quality. If you’re ready to wrap your home in comfort and elegance, we’d love to help you design a space that not only looks exquisite, but feels like it was made just for you.
