In a recent Season 5 Downton Abbey episode, Lady Mary wore an exquisite sapphire/navy velvet blue coat with fur trim. So chic and cozy!
Such jewel tone velvets have been a big hit in both fashion and design in recent years. This sumptuous, saturated-with-color fabric tends to have a luxurious, formal vibe (think Downton Abbey library below).

Yet lately, designers have revived its classic look, mixing it with more contemporary elements such as rustic wood furniture, lucite/glass accent tables, surrounding modern art and textiles, etc. If this recent 'trend' runs its course, the timeless nature of the lush fabric and bold, opulent colors will always be a favorite of mine...
