Stylish and fashionable sofas

The sofa is central to the hall or living room, attracting more attention than other elements of the interior. That is why it is important that this piece of furniture is always in good condition, fits the overall design of the room, and also meets your preferences and needs. Most people who are going to make a sofa purchase are guided by the fashion trends of the current year, because it is much easier to find beautiful and practical models.

Consider which sofas remain fashionable this season, and also see stylish models that do not lose their relevance for several years.

Before you purchase a sofa, you need to decide on a model that will be convenient for you. Let's pay attention to current and popular types of upholstered furniture.

• The main trend of the current year in furniture is simplicity and functionality. That is why modular sofas are gaining more and more popularity. They consist of several elements that can be moved as you wish. In addition, the poufs that make up the sofa can be bought separately, which will allow you to collect a unique stylish composition, for example, inserting elements of bright youth shades.

• Transforming sofas also correspond to current trends. They save a lot of space by playing the role of other furniture (such as a coffee table or bed), as well as allowing you to store things in them. For example, the sofa “eurobook” is perfect for small apartments, it takes up equally little space when folded and unfolded.

• Classic sofas are not inferior in popularity to the previous ones, retaining leading positions in fashion for many years. A linear sofa (direct model) is familiar to our view, which means it does not overload the room. Recently, some elements have been added to the classical model, for example, a slightly curved or wavy shape, unusual lines and folds, small elegant elements that add a luxury product, as well as the absence of armrests.

• The corner sofa is back in fashion, it has quite a few advantages and has several functions. If you properly position this upholstered furniture, you can achieve the effect of expanding space. The sofa significantly saves space, taking the corner with benefit. In addition, you can find models with retractable structures and additional storage compartments.

• Luxurious and comfortable rounded sofas are suitable for fashionable spacious rooms.. Such pieces of furniture make the atmosphere cozy and comfortable; on such a sofa it is convenient to gather the whole family for communication or a large noisy company. You need to have a ring sofa in the center of the living room, which will be the main decoration of the room.

Another popular trend in this year’s design is striving for environmental friendliness and nature, which implies some changes in the materials used and colors.

Most often, the color of the sofa depends on your personal tastes and preferences, but before buying, you should also pay attention to the fashion trends of this season - maybe you will like some new fresh shade.

Divide the popular shades into several groups.

• Bold bright colors. For those who are not afraid to experiment, there are fashionable bright shades. Emerald or aquamarine sofa fits well into a spacious marine-style living room. The noble wine color will emphasize the restraint of the room and add coziness. And juicy terracotta and purple shades will distinguish the sofa from the general interior of the living room.

• Pastel shades. Those who like restraint and calm in the interior came up with pastel colors. Now the following shades are relevant: pale pink, sky blue, lilac and lemon.

• Natural motives. As already mentioned, now manufacturers are striving to embody naturalness, natural colors and shades of nature in everything. In this regard, tones have gained popularity: sandy, marine, amber, tender lime, lavender and coral, as well as a palette of rich green shades.

• Classic. Classic colors never go out of fashion - a noble mustard color, rich chocolate, delicate beige, snow-white and austere gray shades will always be relevant.

I want to pay special attention on fashion prints: large patterns, photo print with images of nature or animals. Such upholstery will certainly attract the attention of guests and even visually increase the space in the room.

The variety of styles is great, but in each season there are the most popular and fashionable trends.

• High tech. This modern style has not lost its popularity for several years. Its main distinguishing feature is its catchiness, but at the same time restraint. The lack of decor is offset by unusual furniture. Bright colors, bold geometric shapes, glass and metal elements in the design of the sofa create a unique cozy and calm atmosphere

• Minimalism. This style will always be popular with conservative people or those who love the simplicity of the interior and calm tones. Restrained and laconic sofa in a monotonous color perfectly emphasizes the overall style of the room.

• Scandinavian style in many ways similar to minimalism. But there are differences, for example, colder tones in the decoration of upholstered furniture, strict forms and the use of mainly natural materials.

• Ecostyle. As already mentioned, in recent years the ecological style is gaining popularity.The use of natural materials and colors, strict direct forms of construction - these are the characteristic features of sofas in this style.

• Classic. There is always a demand for classics. Two main branches of the style are in fashion this season: baroque - for those who love luxury and sophistication (gilded legs of the sofa and other graceful elements), and neoclassic, which will appeal to people with modern views on design, as this style implies a combination simple things with small elegant and sophisticated details.

• Provence Country. These styles are relevant for those who prefer coziness and a sweet, homely atmosphere. There are only slight differences. Sofas in the Provence style - warm, pleasant, romantic shades, with artificially aged elements. But upholstered furniture with stripes or in a cage, natural or dark shades - refers to the style of country.

• Loft. Suitable style for real brutal and creative personalities. Walls with brickwork, rough wooden details, concrete partitions - its characteristic features, so it is important that the sofa matches this style. This year, leather, frame sofas, as well as furniture with comfortable and pleasant upholstery, are in fashion.

If your room is not tied to any particular style, then you can choose a sofa in any direction you like. The main thing is that this piece of furniture should be combined in color and design with other elements of the interior.

There is one more point that should be given no less attention than the selection of a sofa model - this is the material of the product. But it is important to understand that the fabric should be selected, based not only on fashion trends, but also with the expectation that you still have to look after the sofa. Consider in more detail relevant materials for upholstery sofas.

For those who prefer natural materials, linen fabric is perfect. It is rarely used for upholstery in home furniture, but a number of advantages make you take a closer look. Cotton is very durable, which means the upholstery will last a long time; beautiful weaving of threads, natural fibers.

There are more decorative analogues - cotton fabrics intertwined with synthetic threads:

• jacquard - A dense material that repels moisture and dirt, moreover, very beautiful patterns are often found on such fabric;
• shenill - another aesthetic fabric, but not very durable (it can deteriorate from water or scratches), although soft and pleasant to the touch.

Most often, this fabric is chosen for the upholstery of the sofa, it is called faux fur because of the thick pile. Velor is a hypoallergenic material, it is easy to care for and durable. It is often made with a special Teflon coating that protects against damage to animals.

One of the most durable materials thanks to the weaving of two threads. The fabric is soft, pleasant to the touch, looks quite attractive. It is made of natural and synthetic fibers.

If you have pets, you need to choose a sofa with a durable fabric. Flock - just such a material, includes a special anti-claw coating that will not allow your pet to tear it. The fabric is easy to care for and remove stains, it is durable and pleasant to the touch.

Both artificial and genuine leather have not gone out of fashion for a long time. And this material is just a godsend for connoisseurs of luxury. It is better to choose sofas made of artificial eco-friendly leather, it is very elastic and durable.

It turns out that not only napkins for cleaning are made from this material, but also upholstery for sofas. The material is great for furniture, because it does not absorb moisture, dirt does not penetrate into it, it is durable and soft. In appearance and to the touch it resembles artificial suede fabric.

The combination of materials is now in fashion. For example, designers have learned to beautifully combine leather and velor.

As for the furniture frame, wood remains the actual material (its budgetary analogs are acceptable - particleboard, chipboard and MDF). Metal constructions in suitable modern styles are also allowed - minimalism, hi-tech and others.

At the end of the topic, consider beautiful examples of stylish sofas in the interior of a living room or hall.
