5 Modern Sofa Trends that You Should Try Now

There are several modern sofa trends making their way into living rooms, offices, restaurants and lobbies; anywhere you might expect people to relax and socialize.

If you’re thinking about replacing your current sofa, you might want to consider something fun and trendy like a modern sofa.

Listed below, are the latest modern sofa trends:

1. Accent Colors

The use of accent colors has become a common practice in home décor. It automatically draws your attention to a specific area or piece. Using accent colors also helps in tying the décor of the space.

Now it’s a big trend to use a sofa as an accent piece. For instance, if space is in a neutral color palette, you can place a modern sofa in a bold color to add some visual pop. This technique adds depth and texture and gives new life to a neutral color scheme. 

Imagine a bright orange sofa surrounded by furniture in shades of grey or a plush purple velvet sofa in an all-white room. This technique of using a sofa as an accent piece can add a touch of luxury and modernity to your space.

2. Rich Textures

Adding texture via a modern sofa is the big trend this year. Putting different textures into space creates depth and nothing accomplishes this better than a loveseat, sofa or chair. However, instead of selecting seating made from a single material, consider other ones like wool, velvet, leather, tweed, leatherette, etc.

You may also add texture via seams, cushions, and tufting.

3. Geometry

Geometry is a bold, new trend in interior design. You can create a unique aesthetic by installing different shapes into your space through throw rugs, chairs, tables, and sofa shapes. 

Modern sofas with rectangular, straight lines can easily fit into most spaces. When placing something with lines, add something to contrast it, i.e. circles to contrast straight lines.

4. Comfort

Creating a comfortable space is central to modern interiors. This can be achieved through soft materials such as pillows, throws, cushions and area rugs.

5. Sectional Sofas

Sectional sofas are a popular trend in home décor. These beauties aren’t just for large homes anymore. They are quite effective in small spaces as well as rooms with odd dimensions. Many people also use sectional sofas in open concept spaces. In such rooms, the sectional acts like a room divider, helping to demarcate two different areas.

If you’ve got a large family, receive many visitors or just love having a large lounging option, then sectional sofas are your best option. 

There are many types of sectional sofas. Some have a built-in recliner, ottoman, L-shaped, U-shaped, reversible, extra cushioning, high back, etc.
