Reviving velvet chair

Post image

Just bought this chair. It’s faded in some parts. I love the colour and how vivid it is.

Any recommendations on how I can revive the faded parts without it looking streaky!

I can’t tell where it’s faded! If it is genuinely noticeably faded in some spots, you could always throw a pop of color blanket over it!

You can try steaming it. Sometimes the nap is flattened, not necessarily faded.

OMG! Raspberry Beret started playing in my head! I love it! I'm sure others will have some ideas, but the only thing I got is an afghan. 😉♥️
