Give an elegant makeover to your home, following the sofa trends

Sofas play a key role in taking centre stage at home. Whether traditional or modern, contemporary or mid-century, sofas are every home’s mainstay.

Sejal Parikh, Interior Designer, WoodenStreet, says, “Sofa trends over the decades have changed a lot. Let’s look back and consider some of the most memorable sofa trends over the past few years.”

1990’s: A Right Blend of Functionality & Comfort
The sofa trend of the 1990’s perfectly defines the couch potato kind of theme. They were indeed the right mix of what functional and comfortable looks like. Well, we can also relate to why 90’s kids are couch potatoes! (wink)

2000’s: A Shabby Chic Pick
Crisp and timeless, but not overly fussy, is the right definition for a 2000’s sofa trend design. These sofas were known for their deep and comfortable appearance, while still maintaining simplicity through white. The best part is, being white provides the area for decorating the rest of the home through colours.

2010’s: The Era of Minimalism
Offering a no-fuss look, using neutral shades, and provoking a modern trend were the key traits in this era of sofa trends. And, one of the main motives, as per the top interior designer, at that time, was to inspire people everywhere to discard any object that didn’t “spark joy.” And the result was to bring out the more crisp and clean spaces.

2020’s: Replica of 70’s
The trend that was in demand in the 70’s is taking back the center stage in this decade. Apart from this, there is a drift towards maximalism from minimalism.

When we talk about the material, velvets have continued to be a popular choice through the past many decades. As per the top interior designers and researchers, design icons of the past have made a huge comeback, and they will be followed in coming years with trend updates.

Sofa is an indispensable furniture item in homes, and with decades passing by, you’ll surely see a huge transformation in its trends. Stay updated and you may predict what’s coming in for the next decade!
