BOUCLÉ

Originating in the 1940s , bouclé has been recognised worldwide for many decades . However , in recent years we have noticed a rise in popularity across our living spaces , particularly our couches . The textural qualities of the bouclé create effortless interest in a room while remaining clean , minimal and classy . While a neutral bouclé finish lends itself to popular Scandinavian , natural trends , it can also work well when combined with older properties with period features : mainly as the look is so timeless . From corner lounge-in numbers to a two-seater , three-seater or something more sculptural in shape , consider the overall aesthetic of the room and how the bouclé will add to the theme - generally , a neutral colour will work with most schemes . Finish the look with a few contrasting cushions and throws , and make a cosy hangout where everyone will want to sit .

“ One of this year ’ s most talked about materials across the interiors industry , bouclé continues to be an enduring trend . An incredibly versatile material , ideal for a range of interior styles from Scandi-inspired simplicity to maximalist schemes , a bouclé sofa or chair offers character and comfort thanks to its wonderful natural texture ; a cosy aesthetic that can carry through the seasons .”
