I am a little obsessed with velvet right now and am seriously lusting after these curtains. Changing your curtains seasonally might seem a little extreme, but it’s a change that is inexpensive and can really help your space go from summer to winter. It will give you a new and fresh-feeling space and you won’t get bored with the same old thing. Velvet is a great fabric for the cooler months because it's heavy and opulent and, as an added bonus, will keep out drafts! I love this regal blue too — it's so sophisticated.
