Sofa SALAMANCA tufted yellow velvet KARE Design

The Sofa SALAMANCA tufted yellow velvet KARE Design instantly becomes the statement piece of a contemporary living room. Its mustard tone adds warmth and character, ideal along a long wall facing the TV or framing a windowed nook. Low and generously deep, it invites lounging, stretching out with a book or gathering friends for film nights. The wide, tufted surface reads like a landscape of cushions, turning the entire 240 cm length into a welcoming platform. In an open-plan space, it can visually mark out the lounge zone without blocking light or views. Against a pale backdrop, the rich velvet gains depth and makes artwork, side tables and plants stand out. This sofa suits interiors that embrace bold colour as well as calmer schemes seeking one strong, comforting focal point that anchors the room’s atmosphere.

Visual design and overall look

The SALAMANCA sofa stands out through its mustard-yellow velvet, a rich shade that plays beautifully with daylight and evening lamps. Seat and backrest are composed of large, rectangular sections deeply tufted, giving the impression of multiple plush cushions fused together. The strong grid created by the tufting adds structure while keeping a soft, inviting feel. Rounded armrests echo the generous volumes and avoid harsh lines, reinforcing the impression of a padded island dedicated to relaxation. Its low, stretched silhouette accentuates the 240 cm length, underlining horizontality and making it perfect for anchoring a long wall. The substantial 107 cm depth gives it an almost daybed character, visually suggesting comfort and casual lounging. Beneath this sculpted upholstery, the straight, hidden frame in solid pine and MDF provides a quiet architectural base, letting the velvet surface and its rhythmic tufting remain the real visual focus of the piece.

Why this sofa is worth choosing

• Striking mustard-yellow velvet instantly creates a warm focal point, adding personality to neutral interiors or complementing colourful decorative schemes.
• Deep rectangular tufting builds a graphic cushion-like landscape that feels luxuriously padded and visually generous across the full length.
• Low, elongated proportions of 240 cm make it ideal for large living rooms, open-plan layouts or long walls needing a strong anchor.
• Rounded armrests and soft volumes produce an inviting, cocooning silhouette that suits relaxed family lounges and social entertaining spaces.
• Construction with solid pine and MDF structure under plush polyester velvet upholstery, designed by KARE Design for a distinctive, characterful presence.

Where to place it in your home

With its 240 cm length and generous 107 cm depth, the SALAMANCA sofa works best where it can fully breathe. Place it opposite a media unit with at least two metres of distance so the deep seat doesn’t crowd the room. In a living room with large windows, position it perpendicular to the light to let the velvet subtly change shades throughout the day. In open-plan spaces, use the low back to define the lounge area, keeping sightlines clear toward the dining or kitchen zone. Along a long wall, centre the sofa and frame it with vertical elements like floor lamps or tall plants. To coordinate it with other seating, explore our broader collection of designer sofas and build a coherent conversation area around this generous piece.

Maintaining long-term visual harmony

The SALAMANCA sofa’s mustard velvet offers a strong yet flexible colour foundation for evolving interiors. Pair it initially with warm neutrals—greige walls, off-white rugs, oak furniture—to create a softly luminous backdrop. Over time, refresh the look by introducing accents in deep blue, forest green or burgundy through cushions and throws, which harmonise beautifully with the yellow base. The rich tufting works well alongside understated materials such as matte ceramics, woven baskets or linen curtains, balancing texture without overwhelming the space. In more urban settings, combine it with black metal shelving or sleek side tables to contrast its softness. Because of its low profile, the sofa adapts to new layouts: you can rotate it to face a different focal point or use it as a subtle room divider while it still feels visually grounded and coherent.
