When it comes to your living space the big pieces set the tone, and what bigger piece is there than your sofa? Sure, you may have a media center on the other side that’s technically bigger, but at the end of the day, that will either look like shelves of little things or just closed-off storage.
Your sofa is the star. That’s why, if you want to elevate your living space in 2024, then you’ll want to consider one of these top five trending sofa options:
Leather Sofas
Leather is timeless. You can opt for a leather sofa in any shape, meaning it can work for maximalists, minimalists, futurists, and even traditionalists. The beauty of leather is its timeless, ageless appeal.
You can enjoy long-lasting structured designs with a leather couch. You can watch as it patinas and ages into something that deserves a spot in a trendy whiskey bar. In short, leather can be just what you need to pull off the look you want, all while looking fantastic for years.
Velvet Sofas
Another luxurious material that, once again can fit on multiple different sofa designs is velvet. You do, however, need to be careful with velvet. Polyester velvet can look and even feel great, but it’s not nearly as breathable or comfortable to sit on as cotton or even silk velvet.
This is because polyester doesn’t absorb moisture, and it also isn’t breathable or anti-bacterial like the natural options. By choosing a natural fiber for your velvet couch, you have a stunning sofa that’s also practical for real use.
Curved Sofas
If you want something different in your space, particularly if it’s open plan, then choose a curved sofa. This type of design draws the eye fluidly through the home, which can help you command the use of your living space in ways that straight or even sectional couches cannot.
It’s particularly useful if you live in an apartment with a bent design. If your living space is more of a triangle, then a curved sofa can be just what you need to offset the strange floorplan.
Mid-Century Sofas
Mid-century design is making a huge comeback, and has for years now. If you like sleek lines, but don’t want to give up that connection to the earth or organic design, then it’s the perfect combination.
Mid-century designs can be vintage, or new, since they’re so trendy right now. What sets them apart is their exposed frames. You can usually see some part of the wood or metal frame, which adds more design details to elevate your space.
Cubed Sofas
Cubed sofas are a very new trend that can really suit a fashion-forward space. They also tend to be very, very comfortable, and, more importantly, modular. These sofas are stripped back in design, yes, but they also tend to be larger than traditional sofas, which gives them a balance that suits contemporary or Danish design very well. If you are a minimalist at heart, then a cubed sofa is the perfect choice.
