Stylish and trendy sofas

The sofa takes center stage in a hall or living room, drawing more attention to itself than other interior elements. That is why it is important that this piece of furniture is always in proper condition, fits the overall design of the room, and also matches your preferences and needs. Most people, when they are going to make a purchase of a sofa, are guided by the fashion trends of the current year, because it is much easier to find beautiful and practical models this way.

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

Before you buy a sofa, you need to decide on the model that will be comfortable for you. Let's pay attention to the types of upholstered furniture that are relevant and popular today.

• 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 you can move as you wish. In addition, the poufs that make up the sofa can be bought separately, which will allow you to assemble a unique stylish composition, for example, by inserting elements of bright youthful shades.

• Convertible sofas are also in line with current trends. They save a lot of space by playing the role of other furniture (for example, a coffee table or bed), as well as allowing you to store things in them. For example, the Eurobook sofa is perfect for small apartments, it takes up equally little space in the folded and unfolded position.

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

• The corner sofa is back in fashion again, it has quite a few advantages and has several functions. If you place this upholstered furniture correctly, you can achieve the effect of expanding the space. The sofa significantly saves space by taking advantage of the corner. In addition, you can find models with pull-out structures and additional storage compartments.

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

Another popular design trend this year is commitment to sustainability and nature, which implies some changes in the materials used and colors.

More often than not, 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 like some fresh new shade.

Let's divide popular shades into several groups.

• Bold vibrant colors. For those who are not afraid to experiment, there are fashionable bright shades. An emerald or aquamarine sofa will fit well in a spacious living room in a nautical style. The noble wine color will emphasize the restraint of the room and add comfort. Juicy terracotta and purple hues will make the sofa stand out from the overall interior of the living room.

• Pastel shades. Those who love restraint and calmness in the interior have come 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, sea, amber, delicate light green, lavender and coral, as well as a palette of juicy green shades.

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

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

There is a great variety of styles, 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 catchiness, but at the same time restraint. The lack of decor is compensated by unusual furniture. Bright colors, bold geometric shapes, glass and metal elements in the sofa design 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. A discreet and laconic sofa in monotonous colors will ideally emphasize the overall style of the room.

• Scandinavian style a lot like minimalism. But there are also differences, for example, colder colors in the decoration of upholstered furniture, strict forms and the use of mainly natural materials.

• Ecostyle. As already mentioned, the ecological style has been gaining popularity lately.The use of natural materials and colors, strict straight forms of construction - these are the characteristic features of sofas in this style.

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

• Provence, country... These styles are relevant for those who prefer coziness and a cute, homely environment. There are only minor differences. Provence style sofas - warm, pleasant, romantic shades, with artificially aged elements. But upholstered furniture in a strip or in a cage, natural or dark shades - refers to the country style.

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

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 is combined in color and design with other interior elements.

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 take care of the sofa. Let's consider in more detail the actual materials for the upholstery of sofas.

For those who prefer natural materials, linen is perfect. It is not often used for upholstery of home furniture, but a number of advantages make us look closely at it. Cotton is very durable, which means that the upholstery will last a long time; beautiful weaving of threads, natural fibers.

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

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

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

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

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

Both artificial and natural 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 eco-friendly artificial leather, it is very elastic and durable.

It turns out that this material is used to make not only cleaning napkins, 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. It looks and feels like an artificial suede fabric.

Combining materials is now in vogue. For example, designers have learned how to beautifully combine leather and velor.

As for the furniture frame, wood remains the actual material (its budget counterparts are acceptable - chipboard, chipboard and MDF). Metal structures are also allowed in suitable modern styles - 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.

• Living room art nouveau complements the modern corner sofa in austere gray color with bright details in the form of pillows.

• Red sofas create a relaxed atmosphere and at the same time draw attention to themselves, diluting the rough interior of the living room. in the loft style.

• Here you can see how practical the modular sofa is.... The red sofa is arranged in a semicircle, which facilitates easy communication. In addition, interactive details such as footrests and folding table add to the comfort of the sofa.

• And again, let's touch on the topic of ecology. Here is a great example of how to harmoniously fit a bright sofa of a juicy salad shade into an eco-style living room.
