Is Boucle Furniture Going Out Of Style?

Stylish home design trends come and go and, as seasons change, so might your home décor style. It shouldn't come as a surprise that every once in a while you want to switch it up and it's important for you to know what trends are in and out. Your home is your sanctuary, so its interior should look and feel like such. Boucle is a soft yet lumpy woven fabric that grew extremely popular in the 1940s due to fashion designer Coco Chanel, according to Real Simple. For decades, the textured fabric was used by well-known designers for its unique consistency and softness. Wearing it makes you feel like you're in your own little bubble of serene warmth. Once boucle made its mark in fashion, designers transitioned it onto furniture as well.

With its vintage appeal and curvy shape, boucle is perfect for making your space look and feel inviting and cozy. If you're looking to switch it up, boucle furniture is a design trend that's popular now more than ever. Whether you've been redesigning your home for a while or you're just getting started, this popular aesthetic doesn't seem to be going out of style, so it's worth getting into. You want a space that nurtures your lifestyle, according to Home Accents Today, and with the right inspiration, colors, furniture, and fabrics, you can execute the home design of your dreams with boucle furniture.

Per The Zoe Report, boucle is the desired home aesthetic in Hollywood, from the Kardashians to Elsa Hosk. Because this type of furniture speaks for itself, it doesn't need to be paired with excessive décor. In fact, in a study that included professional organizations like the American Society of Interior Designers, 78% of designers have predicted that minimalism will become the most popular interior design trend, according to Home Accents Today. And boucle furniture is a key element of minimalist décor. 

With boucle furniture, your home will feel stylish yet comfortable. It's soft, natural, and elegant, so neutral tones like beiges and browns are the best hues to go with when it comes to this look. Home Accents Today also recommends sage green, with 75% of interior designers stating that they prefer this earthy hue because it's confident and hopeful. You want colors that feel cozy and calming yet sophisticated and sharp. The lighter your color palette, the better the space will look.

A little can go a long way, especially if you're someone who doesn't want to completely switch up your style. For a subtle way to spruce up your home with boucle furniture, The Everygirl recommends starting with boucle throw pillows, a pleated ottoman, or an accent chair. According to Real Simple, it was shown by Google Trends in 2020 that the word boucle was trending at a high rate starting around May. Amidst the pandemic, people may have found comfort lounging around in their PJs and redesigning their furniture in the process. Even just a small addition of this comfy, cozy fabric can enhance your interior aesthetic.

Considering 83% of designers from the study mentioned above said curved and rounded sofas will continue to take over spaces this year, we can assume that boucle furniture isn't going out of style any time soon. If you're interested, but hoping not to break the bank in the process, buying boucle furniture doesn't have to be an expensive splurge if you keep it simple and minimal.
